greg_r Posted October 10, 2008 Report 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...

LMAO As compensation, I've just grabbed Tony's photo: Not a perfect copy by any means, but closer than I expected to find. We'll have to see how the actual watch stacks up when it gets here

alphakazi Posted October 11, 2008 Report 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

If I see anything else on my travels, I'll letcha know.

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.
alphakazi Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 get pricing on the A7750 or the Swiss 7750 if you can - curious to know how cheap they can be had for

alphakazi Posted October 12, 2008 Report Posted October 12, 2008 $120 is a good price - I can buy them for $130 locally depending on availability curious to see a good price on the Swiss though
