Personally, I would probably go another route given, as you say, the COVID situation and distance to Kansai. As above, the Quark route might work for you.
Yodobashi and donki are unlikely to have the one you want. I am not sure how far from Tokyo you are but you'd think that now is probably the best chance you'll have with dramatically fewer tourists around.
Yeah, it's a real pain. Those of you in the US have no idea how lucky you got it with so many independent family run ADs where you can get lucky or simply strike up a great conversation!

Thanks for the info. If I don't need her Grandpa there with me then it could be possible even with the COVID situation. The cost of a Shinkansen to Kyoto + the watch would likely be cheaper than from the grey market in Tokyo.
I'm central Tokyo near Ginza, I have about 7 dealers in walking distance of Ginza, Nihonbashi and Tokyo.
