Icon5 Buying vintage Rolex parts in Tokyo.

I’m going to Japan in January 2025. I was wondering if any of you guys had bought vintage parts in Tokyo before? I’m looking to buy original hands and bezel insert for my 16800 and probably some extra links. Are there specific places to find these parts. I’ve only seen parts for sale at Nakano Broadway. Also do these stores take credit cards or is it only cash deal?

The majority of the stores take credit cards.
Cash is available at ATMs only located in SevenElevens.
I have not bought parts, only watches.

There's a tiny little one-man store in Nakano Broadway that has all sorts of rare vintage parts. I think it's on the same floor as the famed Jack Road watch store, but I don't remember its name.

Check it out.

I’ve bought some things from him in the past. He took credit cards several years ago.
