It just falls in an awkward price point where you're paying for something that has a skeletonised unitas movement that won't have the sort of finishing that would warrant paying that much. It's a novelty piece at best. My opinion, of course.
What watch do you wear?

Lol ok.
I like my £1.5k watch more than my £35k tourbillion because of the intricacies of its design... can’t pretend everyone has the same taste.

Posting a terrible blurry and poor quality photo probably didn't help. Try taking one from a bit more of a distance in good light?

My latest is a bronze seiko 007 homage.
Beautiful watch. Montblanc make some stunning pieces. Makes my Blancpain look like a Casio.
That Montblanc is lovely. I've been looking for a dress watch and fancied a JLC Reverso, but when I saw this I really like it. The bracelet on this is really nice though, and the new strap changing system Cartier have is excellent so you can swap between the steel bracelet and a leather strap in a few seconds. Really smart and makes it two watches in one, so really it was half price. 
Personally I really like the lack of date because it means it only take a couple of seconds to set the correct time if I've not worn it for a few days or weeks.

Yeah, date display annoys me too. I have no need for it.

That's bloody awfulLove that, I'm eyeing up the Black Bay Fifty Eight as I've been missing out these past few months of the watch scene. Like before I don't like or even want multiple watches, just one for all occasions. The Fifty Eight seems to be just that.
Take a look at this Godzilla edition of the Grand Seiko, how beautiful is it. Personally I rate Grand Seiko well above anything from the Swiss world. A rare thing to spot in the wild too.

Outrageous. It is a thing of mechanical beauty.

That's a lot better of a photo. Delete that other one. Looks like a completely different watch.

Dan Henry 1970 - new version with improved lume. 40mm, compressor style case with internal bezel, 200m WR, Seiko NH35 auto movement.
Came with a rubber strap but I'm not a fan of rubber so swapped it over to a NATO, I love it.

Looks smart. Good choice of strap as well.
