Angelus U40 Racing Skeleton Tourbillon Thoughts?

 

Hi,


I am curious to know your thoughts about this watch? The Angelus U40. I am attracted to it's skeletonized movement with a tourbillon and the price is very reasonable ( relatively ) for a full in-house movement from a independent brand. I can bet the watch will be very comfortable as well. 

Am I right to say that this watch is mainly machined finished ( hence the price ) since it doesn't have many razor sharp corners and edgers? 

Also, what are the compromise I have to accept getting this watch? Perhaps less hand finishing? Or less well decorated tourbilllon? I am quite new to tourbillon as I don't actually own one currently. 

A local watch expert in a chatgroup I belong to says this watch isn't really ground breaking and it's main selling point is really just the price or rather the "value for money" perspective. 

So what you think? Thanks in advance.
