Currently my only skeleton
I like this watch because I have both bracelet and strap; it's complicated but not too complex; it's only moderately illegible in all conditions; you can adjust the date hand in either direction with the crown; it has a nice heft to it; my loving wife bought it for me brand new for my 55th birthday.

Skeletons in the closet
Interested to see your skeleton watches and hear a little about what makes them special. Andrew There's no place like HoMe! Ps. one of these is not a skeleton ......
this is my favourite skeleton
very plain and linear, nothing flowery. (pic courtesy of google) i may just get one one day. you never know. G ...
I had a couple of skeletons ..
loved my first one......but needed to let it go to get a bigger brother Miss it really...... but ... I really love skeleton watches because...well its all before your eyes,its so enjoyable to get lost with a loupe into a different micro world and lose tra...
I think you should have kept both
I've been thinking about this since you first posted the QP. I love both watches and simply can't choose one over the other. I can't find any dealer who has either one. Enjoy yours, Mo Best, Joe
Where have you been hiding that Beauty Mo!
Must see tat one next time we meet up, great watch indeed! Cheers Andrew
It is embarrassing to confess...
...that in all the excitement over receiving this piece, the fact that it might qualify for description as a skeleton went completely unnoticed until mentioned recently by another Purist! Cheers, pplater. ...
wow, that's beautiful
especially the bridge for the balance wheel! I missed when you introduced that watch but belated congratulations! Best Andreas

My EP 69 Ti may qualify ...
I'm not a particular fan of skeletons, only because the legibility issues. But I could not resist the charm of my El Primero 69. Cheers, Nilo ...
I would not call it "skeleton"
IMHO, it is more a see-through dial. But the watch is really nice. Fx
That was the reason for the "may" ...
Because I don't have a clear definition of what is a true skeleton watch. Cheers, Nilo
For me a true skeleton watch is...
a watch with a hollowed movement which had solid plates and bridges at the starting point. Let's have different examples: This one is a skeleton watch: And also, this one: This one is NOT (because the movement parts were produced to get this result): This...
Crystal clear ...
To me it was just a watch without an opaque dial. Your definition is the correct one. Cheers, Nilo
Maybe I put you off ...
... with the La Tradition, which is of course an open dial design. But that was the purpose of my quip: "one of these is not a skeleton." I wanted to include a discussion on what constituted a skeletonized watch, and I am very happy with the way the discu...
My choice is Vacheron
The 47100 Chrono Skeleton is unique in that it is a skeletonized Lemania movement- a rare event. I love how the "Y" bridge is done on the movement. The engraving is typical of the VC artisans. I also like how the registers, in white, accentuate the look o...
