Hey, really dumb question incoming. Bought a Seiko SNXF05 off Jomashop, and the date wheel has both English and Arabic. I’m an English speaker and I’m just wondering if I mistakenly bought the wrong model or if that is normal and I’m missing something. Why would a watch have two languages on it? On the website I’m not seeing anywhere that states that it’s an Arabic watch. If I return it, is there a good way to avoid this in the future? Any advice is greatly appreciated!

    I had a Seiko TurtleSRP777K something and had an English/Arabic day.

    Depending on their designation, like J, K, etc in the end, it denotes a watch’s region. Some are Japanese Domestic (JDM), some are classified as an Asian model, worldwide model, European model, and so on.

    I’m assuming that batches of it were designated for the middle eastern market and that’s what you got
