Watanabe spokes tend to be longer, while Minilite/Superlite spokes appear to have a more squat and compact looking design due to a larger centre area around the hub.
I just brought in a staggered set of Watanabe RS8s from Japan, cost a mini fortune for shipping though
As to which existed first, I was always under the impression that the Japanese copied the design from the British, and then it eventually spun off into its own sort of niche...
