Q: Why is it so hard to find pocket watches in China?

I've searched everywhere and it's impossible. I did find the cheap junk and the fake Swiss ones which are magnified, but what about the real quality ones? Don't the Chinese like pocket watches?

They probably think it is too inconvenient to pull it out of your pocket. Also, you can't show it off like an expensive wristwatch, right?

I want to have a watch, but personally I think table is a kind of decoration, so I'll choose the table wear in the hand, pocket watch put pocket really more troublesome, if use pocket watch and see no difference between mobile phone time.

Q: Response time taken?

A: Nobody can tell you that! You could look at no-response-time in t

A:Nobody can tell you that! You could look at no-response-time in two ways: 1. 'Nobody is interested in your CV and hiring you ...'; or 2. 'Never, ever stop sending your CV to the daily posted job openings and simply disregard no-replies thingy!' It's wrong, to expect replies from the Chinese advertisers of a new job openings, 'cause Chinese don't behave same as western recruiters by replying: "Thank you for your job application. Unfortunately, you weren't selected at this time. We'll keep your CV on record and if new opportunity arises..." or something in those lines. So, the only remaining choice is no. 2. Looking for the new (non-native E.T.) position in my time in China was like a daily part-time job. Good luck! -- icnif77
