surrealmethod Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 I have always been fascinated by the skeleton watches but I've never gone to actually know them by brand or style so I call on you guys to guide me a little. I'm looking for a brand or style that is very modern, stainless band as I don't like leather, not too complicated. I like this one... but leather/ This one is nice but too complicated inside I noticed the skeleton thread posted a little before this one but I didn't want to hijack the thread as its not the same topic. But I did notice some skeletons in that thread, the ones that have fine detail in the engravings, but they had leather straps. So any recomendation on brands that I should look for or where I can go to find some and compare different models? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RLudlowe Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 So any recomendation on brands that I should look for or where I can go to find some and compare different models? I like skeletons, too - but the gens are too expensive and reps I've found look really cheap. Kenneth Cole has some very affordable Gens (+-$150) that don't look bad, based on Chinese movements.

fotoman Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 google android watches - lots of skeletons - also google millionsmart you can't buy from there, but it will give you an idea of whats on the inexpensive market - also, ebay will produce plenty of results. you didn't mention what your price range is - if you want to go super awesome but without paying superawesome prices - forum member T sells custom decorated skeletn movements that are amazing - and he can also sell you the case ect ect. http://s163.photobucket.com/albums/t320/tourbillon1801/ this is mine that is still a work in progress - Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ubiquitous Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 I've got a skeleton in the closet... But only one. A bit of an interesting piece- A very nice, old skeletonized 2892 ETA (Swiss) encased in an old TW Best Constellation case. Typically, I'm not a big gold kind of guy, but with this movement, the two tone combination works (the steel lends a good balance to the gold bits).

I'm looking for a very nice blue watch, something along the lines of an aquaracer or a blue rolex. Then I'm looking for something a little different, and the look of a nice skeleton would be perfect. I was thinking about spending about $300-$500 for the blue watch and the skeleton about $500 or so if I find what I'm looking for. The watch you showed is very nice with the two tone. I'm digging it. But I really don't like leather straps. I'll take a look at everyone's recomendations and I'll come back and make an update to what I find. Thanks to everyone thats helped or given an opinion.
