Patek Philippe Vintage Pocket Watch, "Staybrite" Steel, ca. 1937

Gustafsson & Sj?gren Dragon Watch Available On James List
I recently discussed the Arlanch watch, another Swedish timepiece. That watch and this "Dragon" from Gustafsson & Sj?gren (who call themselves GoS for short) couldn't be more opposite. One a distinct bore (Arlanch), while this one (GoS) a distinct work of art. Their real contribution to the work of horology is their uses of Damascus steel that they develop themselves. You might not like all the watch they do, but you have to admire their talent and dedication to their artistic pursuit. What started as a talent for collector's knife making eventually found its way into working on watches. They have a few models, each similar in tone with the specially created and polished metal being the main attraction. Plus, all the Damascus metal they make is done by hand.The Dragon model has a dial done in the pattern of what looks like bubbles under a microscope, with the shape of a dragon in the center.

Decisions, decisions!
Let's see what you guys and girls can come up with on this subject. There's a few things I'm missing from my regular rotation and I have some ideas so it would be fun to hear your suggestions. Since I don't have a silver dialed sport watch, here are the contenders.

I also like a brand not too common, and this gets an 8.5 out of 10 for that factor. High WIS approval rating for in-house movement and overall construction, but a tad on the expensive side. The bezel is just different enough from the Yacht-master too. Add it all up and this is a serious contender! QUESTION: Is there a GMT Sport Evo with a silver dial? (there is one other small thing against it - I really want a GO Pano series and may opt for one of them as a dress watch, which would represent this

An old Russian, worth saving?
This watch was picked up by my grandfather in-law on his travels many years ago. I don't know anything about the brand or watch, but like the look of the dial.Unfortunately, my father in-law thought he could fix it (he couldn't), and as a result of his tender ministrations, it will have to go to a watchmaker if I want it to run again...Here's how it looked after languishing in a drawer for years, complete with fake Rolex bracelet And the movement, in not so good condition (I do have the screw to hold the hairsping bit onto the movement, so that's something at least)After a polish of the crystal and case (and binning the faux bracelet), it looks like this - just needs the movement serviced/repaired....

My go to dealer's watch case. Sad...
A week after receiving his 6 watch shipment that were already sold, this is what his Rolex watch case looks like. Sad...Sent from my SM-G950U using Tapatalk

Just got a Deep Sea Blue from my local AD. For those who are thinking between a Deep Sea James Cameron or SD43 50 anniversary, I would strongly recommend you to go with the Deep Sea James Cameron😁 I m so obsessed by the blue dial.
