well seems he favours some also with dizhi in this case

Also, a nice touch can be seen in the sub-dial at 6 o’clock, which “is inspired by a traditional time-measurement system called “Dizhi” (地⽀) or “Earthly Branches”. The characters Mao 卯 (bottom right) and You⾣ (top left) represent the hours from 5 AM to 7 AM and 5 PM to 7 PM – that is sunrise and sunset.”

Was just looking thru g,s on the net and came across this DW7900


It was starting at 45pounds I messaged the seller to ask for the back plate view that you see to confirm the model , I explained that as far as I know they NEver made a dw7900 ,they made a dw6900 so I wondered if he was mistaken ,clearly its marked as a dw7900 ,so interestingly it's not only is it a wrong in but a wrongun of a non existent dw , he took the watch off auction briefly and then relisted starting at 20pounds !!

well they do do a gw 7900 which is if I saw the front is what I would call it as which is why I always like to see a back plate if I can plus if it was real £45 pricey

yeah I know that just saying people need to check back plates before buying as some from the front are very hard to spot usually with fakes they use made up ref numbers ... but lately they are doing better this fakes was from around 2010 now they are harder to spot . as they are doing the correct numbers now take the ga range some are very hard to spot

ant had one of those yet as not sure on the bezel screws but saying that I was bidding on a joblot of spare repairs gw early missing screws they said. it was a bit crazy their was two lots of four watches both went over the ton ..which I thought was excessive as thought fix and flip be £20 to £30 a pop blew my £60 quid bid out the water ...

I'm more a dw fan but saying that I am tied at the moment between a mod 5610 and a dw6900 for most worn with a ga-100 a close third
