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...

That's one of the coolest Zodiacs around Ron ! Dragon Wing & many thanks to BARNBUILDER Icon_cool Dragon Wing & many thanks to BARNBUILDER Icon_smile
You are DEFINITELY going to enjoy it ! It's big, but
not too big, so it's going to be GREAT ! This version
with the blue dial is super impressive IMHO ! Actually
the whole design of this watch is excellent, and THAT
case back really is something else ! Dragon Wing & many thanks to BARNBUILDER 46145 So is that
cat by the way ! Dragon Wing & many thanks to BARNBUILDER Icon_biggrin NICE watch and pictures sir !
Congrats and Enjoy !!!

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.

Great pick-up. I have the same watch and one with a black dial on leather as well. I love the bracelet. Nice and solid.

The best big watch for a 6.5" wrist, I can attest to that! Awesome pickup Ron, enjoy!

I love the dial design with the big date aperture as well as the domed crystal.


You can never go wrong with Zodiac!
