Key Points from the Discussion

The modification of adding colored stickers to a skeleton watch addresses the common concern of seeing a hairy wrist underneath, making such watches more appealing.
The concept of using colored backings for skeletonized movements has historical precedent, with watchmakers like Vincent Calabrese employing similar techniques in his 1977 Golden Bridge and 1984 Baroque models.
Among the various color options, green was highlighted as a favorite by one community member.

My concern with skelton watches typically that man can see the hairy wrist underneath but your mod makes such watch very tempting. Congrats 🥂

This reminds me what Vincent CALABRESE had done in 1977 and in 1984 for his models with reverso case. 1977 Golden Bridge 1984 Baroque model 1984 Squelette Your modern style is exquisite, Best, Patrick
