Looking for a skeleton watch

Aedus · 10 Apr 2011 at 16:52

I've been looking for a watch recently and decided I like skeleton watches, so I want to find 1 which looks good, but isn't too expensive.

Budget up to £350-ish, but the less, the better.
Colour: Black/Silver
Type: Automatic

Been looking at this 1 in particular:

I know OcUK has some watch buffs, hopefully someone can help me find something decent.

I personally don't like the one you have posted OP. It looks too 'busy/messy'. The large numbers and thick "frame" (or whatever it's called

) distracts attention away from the watch's key feature.

Rotary do some skeleton watches. Possibly a bit old fashioned looking though compared to that one.

That's cool Side, it's just my fave 1 thus far, I'm keeping my options open as I've seen a few designs I'm fond of.

I saw the rotary 1 in a shop, I liked it but the face itself was too small for me.
I think it was this 1: http://www.creativewatch.co.uk/pimages/skeleton-watch-rotary-gs02518-06.jpg

That looks much tidier.

I personally prefer the first, of course there is 1 which trumps them all, which is this beauty:

Shame I'll never be able to afford it

Yeah it is, it should be for the price, which is like £100,000+ (I think)

Bumping this after ages, still looking.

Help.

If you have nothing to add, then don't bother.

I did suggest something previously. which you didn't like. then thought I'd go for the easy option of google. somewhat more realistic than you posting a watch costing over 100k though is it not

Rotary are okay, I think I'd prefer them if they had a metal strap. But I've scoured through google maybe 50 times, all with different search terms, pretty much find the same things all the time. I found another 1 I like now, which is this:

I don't mean to be short, but google'ing is all I have done to look for watches except this 1 thread.
