What are your thoughts on the current Roger Dubuis brand?

 

I am surprised to see that RD’s current niche is basically only wild, skeleton watches with astronomical price tags.
It seems that hardly anything, if at all, remains of the original brand DNA.
What are your thoughts on the current lineup, pricing, and brand strategy? And are they working well for the company and sustainable? 

Pesonally, not being fond of skeleton watches, I prefer traditional-looking watches, sold at fathomable prices, so wonder about this. 
While the watches seems to be outstanding pieces with exceptionally high standards, finishing, tech, etc., it seems to me that the brand itself is not 
given much thought and recognition among watch enthusiasts.   

(I have a chance to buy either a pre-owned 2005 Hommage or a 2018 Excalibur and I am looking into the brand before buying.) 

Thanks for your thoughts.
