Tourby Skeleton

[Bazz]

As someone who has been intrigued with mechanical watch movements since I was a kid it was only a matter of time before I added a skeleton to my collection. Tourby was great to deal with and it was a very easy transaction, he even had the ratchet and crown wheels blued at my request.

It may not be to everyone's taste but I could watch it go all day!

A beautiful watch, the strap sets it off to perfection. Wear it in good health.

Beautiful watch. Thanx for posting

[Bazz]

Thanks guys it is even nicer in the flesh as I'm sure Chris could attest.

Spent most of the day looking at it but not really taking any notice of the time! Very happy with this strap combo as well, matches lovely with the hands and keyless works cover.

@ jkarpas, I think Tourby maybe out of this movement now as he only had a few, best to probably PM him for his price list

beautifull watch...congrats mate

[Bazz]

Wow, great piece, nice wheels!

Bazz - do you know what that is? A genuine Maurice Lacroix movement - taken from an 18K Squelette. Ref No 16807

Thanks the blued keyless works cover, ratchet and crown gear are my favourite parts. Yea it is a Maurice Lacroix movement sourced from a ML pocket watch, as for the price it is probably best to PM Tourby but lets just say it was a lot less than a ML. Jacques Etoile also makes one with the same movements.

And a couple more shots,

Beautiful watch Bazz. Congrats and enjoy.

Jup, the keyless works parts - non blued - on mine - bug me, they look ugly.

Maybe send it to Tourby to get keyless works cover and gears blued?

Thanks Chief :smile: actually one of the crystals sent in for AR are off another bezel for this one!
