Ginza Area
_________________________________________________
Ginza is located south of JR Yurakucho station on the JR Yamanote Line (green line). You can walk there from JR Yurakucho station or go directly to Ginza by subway. There are three AD's and three good used shops that regularly have Panerai.
(A) M&R Salon de Montres -AD-
M&R had three cases and many mini displays. They had about 30 watches. If Japan had a Boutique this might be it. They also had the most high priced and rare SE's including a 200, 201, and 262. Upstairs they had four Richard Mille's that totaled over a million bucks... Ouch!

(D) Evance / 3rd Floor -USED-
Evance had two cases, about 15 watches. They had some nice pieces but their prices were off in high earth orbit. Lots of other brands as well. Evance is a chain store and also has a location in Shibuya, but I didn't go to the Shibuya location because they did not have any Panerai at the time.

Kome Hyou is a chain store and is like a high end pawn shop dealing in all kinds of goods. They had two cases and about 35 watches including some wall clocks and other accessories. Prices were reasonable. They had a couple of U-Boat watches in the Panerai case, I gave them a hard time about it.

Shinjuku Area
_________________________________________________
Shinjuku is located on the JR Yamanote Line (green line). There are two AD's and the other Kome Hyou chain shop.
(A) Isetan Department Store / 4th Floor -AD-
Isetan is like the Saks or Macy's of Japan. It's a high end department store and always has the latest trends. They had two cases and 15 watches including a 249, 262, and 286. Due to all the requests for the 249 they had a very interesting and fair solution. Over a week long period you could fill out an application to be entered in a drawing and at the end of the week they drew a name of the person who was allowed to buy it.

(B) BEST by Ishida -AD-
Maybe not the BEST as the name implies, but definitely a great shop. Two cases of Panerai and many mini displays, they had about 25 watches. They also carry a plethora of other brands including some low production, unique stuff that I had never seen before.

(A) Ishida -AD-
Ishida is a walk from the JR station, but the shopping and people watching will entertain you along the way. Ishida is a partner store of BEST in Shinjuku. This one is located underground, underneath the Ralph Lauren store on Omotesando Road. They have three cases and many mini displays, maybe 25 watches, including a 192. Along with many other watch brands they have a corner of the store dedicated to straps. You can have a custom strap made in any shape or size for any watch from about 100 different leathers and materials. Very cool!

This is wear I found the PAM 80 "Independant", an SE from 2001 just sitting in an AD. Of course, at the price they're asking, it'll probably be there for a while.

Nakano and Kichijoji Areas
_________________________________________________
The following used shops are off the beaten path. To get to the Nakano and Kichijoji Areas you must take the Chuo Line [Rapid Services] from Shinjuku station (orange line). It might be worth the trip, though.
Kame Kichi in Nakano / Broadway Building 3rd Floor -USED-
This shop and the next one are in are in the same building, on the same floor, just aroud the corner from one another. When you exit the train go to the North Exit in the Nakano station. From there you should see a walking street shopping arcade called San Mall (can't remember the English spelling as I wrote my notes down in Japanese, but it's something to that effect). Walk to the end of San Mall and you will come to a building entrance, this is the Broadway Building. Take the escalator up and you're there. In these two shops combine you will see about 5000 watches!!! Kame Kichi had 30 Panerais.

Re: watch shops in tokyo
Thanks for the recommendation. I'm heading to Tokyo in Oct and was wondering where to shop for Rolex/Pams. Their price looks very attractive as compared to local retail, almost on par with the grey dealers though.flamenco wrote:Duel Montres in Kichijoji / Renga Building 2nd Floor -USED-
