I definitely don't NEED another watch for checking the time. Nevertheless, for a novelty watch item, this 2035 (in silver) looks interesting. It's probably super impractical and may be difficult to read, but other than that I'd appreciate any personal comments or recommendations. Thanks.

A skeleton can be a nice alternative for a dress watch. When I was looking at the 9838/9839 I opted for the gold tone.

Below is another option you might want to consider. Mine are about 2 years old and the original Swiss Made versions. I think the newer model has the Techica Swiss Ebache made in Japan.

Realize, mr. catbird, that is difficult to tell time on such a watch.

Hmmmm...:confused1:

While I certainly find koimaster's two examples very attractive, I may need to consider this potential purchase awhile longer before I commit.

BTW, thanks for the feedback!

I don't own one either but I have always found them very interesting. I am sure the day will come along when I will pull the trigger and buy one.:thumbup1:

Yeah, I just can't warm up to these things....
Kinda neat, but not for me.

The time you spend looking at the movement work, you will definitley know the time.

Watchbadger great photos.:thumbup:


Here is my skeleton watch the S1 Concept. It's like wearing a piece of mechanical art.

WOW, excellent photos! :drool:

If the right deal comes along, I just may have to get one after all.

I've got that gold skeleton with the brown strap on the way. May arrive today.

Would you mind posting a pic of the exact watch you're referring to...thanks.

 

[markdl]

Just got it!

Beautiful looking watch. Fit and finish is great. Looks and feels like a far more expensive watch. I don't buy gold or goldtone watches often, but I am so glad I bought this one. The beveled case makes it really stand out and the skeletonized movement is mesmerizing. The alligator strap is top notch and looks like you'd pay $150 just for it if you went to a retail store. It really completes the package and makes me feel like I stole this watch for the price I paid.

Mark, should I have my tux pressed in anticipation of a BIG announcement?

 

[markdl]

Maybe for the summer if things go well. There are a whole lotta watches in the sea!

After a few days of struggling with my indecision, I was lucky enough to pull the trigger on this watch literally minutes before being marked SOLD OUT.

This should be interesting, as I haven't owned a watch requiring hand winding in probably 40 years.
