This is a silly request... but anyway, I need to find a mechanical watch, manual or automatic, that has some dragons on the dial, or relationship to dragons for a good friend of mine that's slightly special.

And likes dragons.

Does such a thing exist? I mean is there an Omega DragonMaster that I've never heard of before? Or hell even a Seiko would do.

I've seen a few frankenwatches from the Ukraine, but they're "RARE!" so probably cost too much. 😁 Why not ask the Google for dragon watch?

Dude when I meet a woman that's into watches (and its only happened twice), I'm just smitten. There was that sales lady at Langfords in the city, sort of Eastern European looking brunette, mid-20s or so, and when I walk in wearing my 1680 Submariner and she knows what it is, I was instantly paying attention.

Then a few minutes later she's explaining the difference between the 9315 folded link bracelet and the 93150 solid link oyster bracelet and I'm thinking, I didn't know females this perfected existed... I thought they were just a figment of my imagination.

Then she's talking about Baselworld rumours for the next year and I was chatting to her for ages thinking about how genetically perfect our children would be.

Next time I'm at Langfords I'll try to be more objective...

But honestly, most of the male sales assistance know little to nothing about the product they're selling, and she knew everything, it was like satan made her just for me.

There are many upper scale Chinese watch brands that use dragons. They are not in the class of Swiss Made watches, but unique nonetheless.

It was killing me, so I signed up just to answer this.... Check out JLC's Reverso with a Dragon engraved on the back - beautiful (but sadly way outta my league). Just perfect for the year of the Dragon 👍.
Hmmm.... now that I re-read the original post, I see the request was for a Dragon on the dial, so not sure JLC's offering counts as it's on the caseback.
Oh well, stunning watch anyway.
See ya.

Hi Shayne. Welcome to Omega Forums!

Hi Dennis, thanks for the welcome.
I see quite a few familiar names here which is nice 😁. I don't know if I'll be able to spend much time here (famous last words), but this could be the perfect place to finally scratch that vintage Omega itch (I'm sure I can hear a '68 constellation calling my name softly...).

A little late, but here's the JLC Reverso - I know it's not on the dial as per the OP's original request, but I love it anyway...

Sorry if the image is a bit large
