RARE & AFFORDABLE Seiko watch in this HUGE thrift store | BookOff Super Bazaar in Japan!

We found a limited edition Seiko watch and it is in a bargain price! It was a sin for me to pass on it and I regret not buying that timepiece. It was indeed a rare & affordable watch that I found in Book Off Super Bazaar in Japan! Just a reminder, this video was taken last November of 2024.

Hey folks, back in Tokyo for another round of exploration. Treasure hunting through the city’s amazing secondhand shops and watch boutiques has been our bread and butter but do not fold right away because we have more than that in our lineup!

Thrifting for Timepieces

Japan is a watch lover’s paradise, and Tokyo is the epicenter of it all. From vintage Rolexes and Omegas to quirky Seiko automatics, you can find some incredible timepieces at a fraction of their retail price.

One of my favorite spot would be in the form of BookOff Super Bazaar in any area of Japan. They have a huge selection of watches from all the major brands, as well as some lesser-known gems. I found a beautiful vintage Rolex Submariner there that was in mint condition for a fraction of the price.

But the real treasures are often found in the backstreets of Tokyo. There are countless tiny shops tucked away in alleyways, filled with unique and affordable watches. You just have to be patient and do some digging to find them.

More than just watches of course, Tokyo is not just about watches. The city is also a mecca for fashion and design. You can find everything from high-end designer boutiques to quirky vintage stores.

Thrifting in Tokyo is more than just a shopping experience; it’s a cultural immersion. You get to interact with locals, learn about their fashion sense, and discover hidden gems that you would never find in a tourist shop.

So if you’re ever in Tokyo, be sure to take some time to explore the city’s secondhand shops. You might just find the perfect watch or piece of clothing to take home as a souvenir.

Tokyo is a city of contrasts, where tradition meets the modern. It’s a city that I love and always look forward to returning to. And if you’re a watch lover like me, it’s a city that you simply must visit.

When it comes to secondhand shopping in Japan, we are not a stranger anymore and we always dedicate some of our time in this huge thrift store named BookOff Super Bazaar in Omiya, Saitama.
We have visited this place several times and up until today, this is my best bet for thrift shopping near Tokyo, Japan.

From item quantity and quality, this is a wonderful spot because prices are reasonable and conditions are always on point. For example, we found a Special Limited Edition Quartz Chronograph JDM Seiko watch in collaboration with Fast & Furious. Yes. Movie!! It boasts the looks of a Dodge Challenger. Correct me if I am wrong. How about the price you may ask? For a numbered watch that is below 40k Yen, hard to say no to it and I made a despicable decision to pass on it.

But do not limit your imagination because Tag Heuer, Omega, Grand Seiko, G-shock, Rolex and more are sitting comfortably in their position.

We also saw some designer bags that are not typical but visually appealing and I assume that the prices are definitely worth it. Prada, Hermes, LV, Channel and more are waiting for you!

This Japan thrifting experience is always a must try because BookOff Super Bazaar is full or surprises with the items and not just for the prices!

  2. I was lucky enough to visit this store on my last trip. Products and pricing are much better once you get outside tourist hotspots.
    These stores can be dangerous for your wallet. I bought several Seiko's last trip, as the price was so good I knew I'd regret not picking them up.
