After a few "little" inquiries, was told that these wNv kbds were produced in Shenzhen (a few miles North of Sheung Shui) and distributed to different regions of the "Central Kingdom" to be sold. Unfortunately, no one buys them because of the premium prices. Fortunately, it is expected to become much cheaper in the near future.
Had intended to get my paws on one of these HUMUS but as I have kbds to last two life-times and only have a 1/5 life-time remaining (fingers & toes crossed), eventually made the decision to purchase the Orient Star Classic WZ0081EL watch in its' stead.
Another bad decision as I can now barely FOCUS with my deteriorating eyesight.
