If anyone is interested, Jim has Posted a slide show of the black lacquer, emerald and pearl, limited edition Swiss auto he designed on his MySpace page. [www.myspace.com/watchguy]
I really like it, but then again friends are friends and I love high-end Invictas!
It will be available for November Host Pick. Check it out if interested. All feedback is welcome.

Nice watch. Not sure on the pearl but I know my wife would have loved it. I am certain I would have heard about feng shui or something.  |

All I was told is that the price is still being determined and it "won't be terribly expensive", which I would guess will keep the piece under or around that $1000 price-point so many of the really nice Swiss Invicta automatics fall into (IE: OG diamond, diamond Pro Diver and the diamond Scuba).

I'd definitely lose the pearl and add flames coming out of the dragons mouth. Now that would have been the watch I'd have to buy for my daughter ( she likes stuff with dragons on it ). Do I see a screw down crown or push pull ? Maybe Jim can enlighten us on this one.  How much would Eyal charge me for a custom one mentioned above ?  Overall this is not a bad looking watch.  |

I have updated the area on my myspace page to give a little more info.
I'm glad you guys like it. I wanted something completely different, and wanted to attempt something that I've never seen done before in any watch... embedding a real pearl into the dial. It really sets it off, and was one of the main reasons that I designed this dial.
Invicta did an incredible job of executing this very difficult dial. Eyal is so proud of it that he is actually wearing one himself! Eyal only sticks to 3 or 4 watches period... so for me that is a real honor.
The watch does have a push/pull crown.

Jim,
This has me wondering. What are Eyals favorite watches? Are they all modern or are there some vintage watches in the mix.
Best Regards,
Thomas Carey

Typically Eyal can be seen wearing only the following:
SAIII V7751
Russian Diver Quinotaur Anniversary (rosetone)
Original Anatomic Speedway
Anatomic Russian Diver
He owns a great many watches, but limits himself to wearing these favorites most often.

definitely worth the $99 price tag i thought the dragon would be smaller more in the bottom half bet it looks cool on the wrist JIM does it have your signature on the back ...that would be nice maybe with the year too |

Congrats Jim! I think the watch is very original and beautiful. I love it when Invicta comes out with original timepieces. So I may have missed it but what is the case diameter of the watch? Just curious. |

Looks like the SS 1948 vintage MOP watch with a dragon inlay added. I believe that watch has a 42 mm case, so I'm guessing this is the same. Regardless, it's a sweet watch! My guess is $499. I was one dollar off in my guess for the Sunday Run price, so if I get this one right, I'm playing the lottery. My grandfather always said, "if you got luck, anything will do for brains." |
