In Tokyo (Shinjuku) for 26 hours - preferred Seiko dealer?

Hi All,

As the title says, I have an extended lay over in Shinjuku for a little over a day. Landing in 2 hours, HA! Anyone have a Seiko dealer to recommend with the best Grand Seiko selection for new and pre-owned? Of course best prices and ability to negotiate is a big plus! Any insight will be awesome!

Thanks!

Bic Camera always has a good selection and some of the lowest prices on new Seiko and GS. Not sure if there's a branch in Shinjuku.

There’s a Komehyo in shinjuku. They have pre owned GS akong other luxury items.

But i would go to Seiko’s main store in Ginza to see all the latest collections. Got both my GS from there.

I second the recommendation to visit the Seiko Premium Boutique in Ginza. I was just there a couple of days ago and they had a great selection. Even tried on the Eichi II and GS 8-Day Spring Drive. Don’t know if they will discount though.

No discount at boutiques. But yes, definitely should go there and the Wako store just to see all those different Seikos.

Is there any watch shops in Tokyo where you can get all the hard to get Seikos like the limited editions that are "sold out"?

Look for Bic Camera. They have good selection and discount when you pay with credit card.
Take passport to get tax free deduction as well.
