Chinese or Japanese?
Just wondering, can anybody read the symbols on this watch? Also does the 7 marker look upside down?

I saw a watch once that had the 12 Chinese zodiac signs. I'm not sure if this is one (don't speak/read Chinese), but, it sure looks similar to the watch I remember seeing.

Its Chinese for the twelve hours. The seventh marker looks upside down to me.
