They are ok but strggling to find out what they are
The lower end quartz stuff is decent quality and priced ok, the hight end auto stuff can be nice but they are a bit out of theit depth against cometitors, look for good discounts as residuals can be week

re being manual, only way they could do it as the rotor on an auto would kill the aesthetics

Well, it does seem you have quite an expensive taste
I quite like this:

How the hell do you tell the time with that? Can hardly see the hands
I made this one just to have a play with the skeleton movement:
Personally I'm not into the look of skeletons but it was perfectly easy to tell the time. I put a dial in that case now and have the skeleton movement to use in something else (prob make or buy a dial and then have it in a window from the back rather than a skeleton)

The hands stand out on that one, which is good. The one linked though, from the pic it looks hard to see

for the first time in a long time, picked up something spontaneously today! normally research things to death!
Here's a few photos i took tonight of my new watch, a titanium Skagen with carbon fibre face and titanium mesh strap:
I tended to take my old watch off quite a lot if i was sat for prolonged periods due to it being quite heavy (swatch), and ended up losing it because of this!
This is REALLY light with it being titanium and carbon fibre, and feels very strong

My post from a year ago. A year and a bit later, has a few small scratches on the bit of metal between the strap and the faces as i tend to catch it on a lot, but otherwise has worn very very well. My swatch that i had before was in FAR worse condition by this point.

Yea your post was the one where i discovered it. Thats good to know it has worn pretty well, I do really like it! How much did you pay for it?
I love this:

But out of my price range! Any cheaper alternative?

What do people think of this?
Classic watch. I personally prefer the Spitfire variant but they're both great watches.
