Got a new watch, divers watch it is, had to drown the bastard to get it!
That would go down a treat with the Chinese, i'm sure.
Probably worth more than a correct on as a result though!
Never mind Candino. I remember Zenith did it once very recently (ie in the last say 2 years). They stuck two 4s on or something like that.
And this is another one:

It may be deliberate. There's probably some backwater 4th-century export region somewhere where the number nine is considered "evil" or something.
...but what do I know; I don't even like watches!

May be a Japanese market watch - number 9 is considered unlucky....

Wow that mistake probably makes that a rare and valuable piece :twisted: :lol:

The #8 is considered very lucky in China, hence they are lucky for two hours, not just one :wink:

Is that the proverbial "One over the eight"? :bom:
I wasn't the quickest on the uptake either. Perhaps it's designed for individuals with a stutter?
Hence the use of an Orient movement?
Too bad...not necessarily my cup but it otherwise is a nice watch.
You guys have got it all wrong.
This is a special very limited LE commissioned for the Oriental market.
8 in Chinese sounds phonetically identical to 'Prosper' and items like number plates with heaps of 8s are much sought after.

When will your website be up and running?
If so ,why not put the 8 all round the dial???
Put all 8s round the dial would be a sign of greed. The gods would be displeased.
