@JasH I imagine your legend went before you, and buyers knew it would be a good great list on which to be included.

Is there a green sports car to go with the watch? :D

Would it be possible for you to post a picture of what the Jade Dragon LE looks like? I know that it quickly sold out but it still would be interesting to see such a winning design!

Delmar, full details are in the link that Jas has posted above, but here’s some screen shots if you don’t want to click it. I think it’s looks fantastic but the minimalist design isn’t something I’d personally buy. I hope the renders are true to the finished watch.

Thanks, Iain. I was about to post the same.

Here, though, are a couple of close-up pics from the .pdf

Thanks guys for sharing the link & renders! Personally, I do like to have indices or numbers, but understand why the minimalist design appeals to some. The interesting exhibition case back design caught my eye though!

I agree. I would love to see just silver dots at each hour, which would retain the minimal styling.

LOL, I think they just liked the watch.

No, I might need to buy an Aston Martin to go with it :lol: (joking)

I see what you mean, but not intentionally so. That Moser is enamel anyway. But it does remind me of some of the sunray metal dial Mosers.

I checked your provided link & the Vulcan XII is a very nice looking watch! I do like the time track on it that doesn’t seem to intrude on the overall design.

In checking your provided post for the Jade Dragon, I noticed the Jade Dragon design on the watch box slip cover. Another nice touch & I must say that I am impressed! Wonder if you wish that it had been a larger limited edition run for such a thoughtful, sharp looking design? I have a feeling that 75 or 100 would have sold out quickly as well.
