greg_r Posted October 10, 2008 Report Share Posted October 10, 2008 I am a watchaholic. It has been one month since my last purchase I know I said I was going to slow down, but there are limits. Anyhow, I've been wanting a 'skeleton' watch since I was a kid. Last night whilst ignoring the TV I was browsing AP's web site and saw this: Pretty, huh? Anyhow, it particularly appealed, so I went looking for a rep. Found one on Tony's CQout shopfront at a very reasonable price (my last couple have been that bit more expensive, so I figured it was time for a decent cheapie again). Pics and further details will be forthcoming when it arrives. I am a watchaholic. It has been one month day since my last purchase... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alphakazi Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 ah, too bad - I was just convincing my gf to wear my sub - actually looks kinda cute on her - this size is just too small for me - I can wear it but it just looks a little silly I'll find a large skeleton one day I'm sure maybe in my closet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnG Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Greg, do you want this for cheap? I can ask... Emperor Penguin was looking for one of these! If I see him around I will let him know where he can get it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luthier Posted October 11, 2008 Report Share Posted October 11, 2008 Tony gave me a very good deal on the watch, so I'm content with my order as is, thanks. Just yesterday got prices list on all movements from cataog, that I brought from GZ. THAT gorgeous one (see above) cost around $12, another one - with 3 subdials and 42 jewels - around $32, but real tourbillons- around $400-$600. I asked if I can order samples set- no problem.
