My boss travels world wide and has no recollection of where he picked this one up...

It's actually pretty solid and running like a champ.

Any ideas?

This is kinda fun. The balance is a little bit lazy compared to what I'm used to seeing in American watches, but it is keeping great time.

I figured I'd share a photo of the dial just for fun. It's actually a pretty sharp watch.

Busy dials like this are hard for me to read, but she is pretty.

The case is fun too. Dragons on the front... A night on horseback impaling the dragon on the back. Done in some kind of rubberized enamel??
