The Watch Thread - Part 9

[yattokame]

Did I hear skeleton watches?
New acquisition.

Am a huge fan of skeleton watches. Has a maurice lacroix skeleton and corum bubble skeleton amongst others like swatch etc.

Chronoswiss opus is my holy grail 12yrs ago when i started on watches. Couldnt afford it back then.
then it stopped production and I missed out on several offers over the years.
Just snag this the moment I saw it. Cant help but wanna share my joy here. Has been sleeping with it the past few days. Looked back 12yrs ago and its kinda like a dream come true.

Next on my list is prob a La Tradition. Open worked, not really skeleton.

Hello guys, I previously asked about getting a watch for my husband with a budget of 1k and you guys gave a number of very nice options. Thanks for that again.

I ended up not buying anything yet because turns out my husband doesn't like simple designs (so he claimed) when I tried to show him the Tissot Visodate, and apparently the Steinhart Ocean 1 was too normal looking.

The other day we shop hopped abit and I think I have a better understanding of what he would like now.

Long story short, I'm hoping you gurus can help me out again. I'm looking for a design similar to this Armand Nicolet LS8 but at a more reasonable price (this is going for like sgd15k ). Budget increased to 2k. Something with slight tones of rose gold, with a fair bit of skeleton design (but not too over), and ideally has a reputable service centre in Singapore? (Is that too much to ask for? )

Help please!

got to let her husband try on the watch first. Any prefer size? Particular about movement? Some skeleton watch very hard to tell the time outdoor. Personally i like semi- skeleton better.

Dietrich ot 5- $1900 good choice if he is not particular about movement.

Orient semi skeleton - about $700 plus.

The silver one is $1.8k.

For less than $1k, these 2 semi-skeleton with rose gold

Wah I like that last one but unfortunately my husband would prefer more gears than that. Thanks for these!

Same here! IMHO a lot of the so called skeleton watches just arent "skeletonized" enough. Then there are the cheap china made ones which look really bad.

Here is one of my personal favorites. If u can stretch your budget to 4k.

師兄如果由Watch Thread 6開始爬番有關Nomos嘅回應，就應該會留意到提到泰國買Nomos嘅次數多過其他國家。。。
。。。所以我應該無錯呱。。。

咦～咦！

I've personally never been a big fan of skeletons but this one might just change my thinking
