| I love my vintage Chinese watches, but I also have a real soft spot for huge honkin' hunks of metal :-d Mind you, I have 6.5 wrists so they can only get so huge, y'know.... Anyways, BARNBUILDER was kind enough to sell me his beautiful blue Zodiac Dragon Wing, a watch I'd had on my go-geddit list ever since I first knew such a watch existed. A while ago, Falcon4311 visited scenic Peace River and brought his Dragon Wing by for me to look at up close. That sealed it; the hunt was on. Now I have one. My photos certainly don't do the watch justice, or capture the deep iridescence of the blue dial, but here they are... Thanks, BARNBUILDER. Very appreciated.

| Everybody, thanks for your kind comments, and thnaks again BARNBUILDER!! Wore it tonight to the part-time karaoke-hosting job that pays for my watches and got a number of nice compliments. As much as I love my vintage Chinese watches, and I do; they fly under the radar most of the time. This one folks notice. |

| I love the dial design with the big date aperture as well as the domed crystal.
You can never go wrong with Zodiac! |
