Try the Ladies' Market in Mongkok. I remember seeing some stalls selling similar items the last time I was there.

They sell those in many street-stall based markets. Ladies Market as dinomandy mentioned in #1. Or Temple Street night market. Or Li Yuen Street East/West in Central. Or maybe Jardine's Bazaar in Causeway Bay. Ap Liu Street in Shamshupo (definitely, as I bought a few from there). Whether you can find the one like yours with Chinese numerals is a different story. :)
And also with Kanji character.
Have seen Fossil having one.
I do not know how much this cost:- check this out- www.solihulldesigns.co.uk/orientalwatch.html
Edited: 8 years agoThanks for all your suggestions. I did get in the Ladies market but am now back in the UK wishing I'd bought two! There are lots of HK based watch sellers on ebay and I was rather hoping one of them might read this page.The manufacturer is YaLisi-but no web page available..The lettering does not look like Kanji.BB
Let me know as well- I have been searching every time I go to Hong Kong and every one always says , sorry we do not have anything like that ...good luck!!
quinn m; Hi,I'm surprised you couldn't find any as I saw loads not only in HK but also Shanghai.I have sent some photos to a watch seller in HK,so I'm hoping he might come back with some news.Will let you know if I hear anything.
dinomandy;I think there may be a gap in the market here! BB
quinn m;After searhing everywhere I tried again on ebay(uk) and under the search 'Chinese watches' there they were at GBP4.99 each and postng GBP3.99(same postage cost for US as UK).Hooray search over and I hope for you too.Let me know if any probs as there is an email address given which I can send you as a pm Good luck Nancy
