Looks great!

Would like one. Where can you get one in the USA?

I have a Sinn with the days of the week in German and English.

Right?

If you haven’t gotten your watch from the Japanese market, you can mod with a wheel from eBay or other internet source.

I also like Kanji dial a lot, don’t mind the pay the premium for Made in Japan and Kanji dial.

Btw, just to share the kanji system:

月 (Moon) Monday
火 (Fire) Tuesday
水 (Water) Wednesday
木 (Wood) Thursday
金 (Metal) Friday
土 (Earth) Saturday
日 (Sun) Sunday

I got this one on ebay, from japan and have been using a few sellers from there, and no problems... it is pretty cool to be able to get JDMs...
