I have been looking for that one for years. Beautiful, isn't it.

That's a great guess, Travis, because I really like both versions of the YOTDragon (but I always prefer date at 6), and both were in the running, but...no.

I do already have that YOTD watch from Sea-Gull that you've seen before (2012, also YOTD)

Oh yeah, that is a slapshot score. Wonderful design, balance (date at 6 helps, and it's centred--perfect). Depth, texture, and the handset and indices are top of the line. And the bracelet works well: looks quality but it keeps the attention on the dial 👍
