I'm gonna side with the above two posts. If you look at the skeleton framed watches, you'll be in amazement of how much there is inside a higher end watch.

Man, it's been a while since I've been on here. Good to be back.

Anyway, I'm 24 living on my own, engaged and planning a wedding, so I don't exactly have the change to throw around that I'd like. My first real purchase is going to be a Breitling, but that's probably another year away or so. I started my collection with the Oris TT1 a little under 3 years ago. About 11 months later I realized I needed a second option, so I bought the slimmer and sleeker Tag Carrera. Last summer I saw the Hamilton Open Heart in my watch shop and had to buy it- I'd been looking for a black face with some skeleton features for a while. The Kenneth Cole is just funny. I was at Nordstrom Rack buying jeans with my GF when she found a 'neat" watch. I checked it out and it was a $200 automatic marked down to $49. I'd wanted a cheap watch with a leather strap for certain occasions, but refused to move on the automatic feature, so this was perfect.

Tomorrow I'm really excited. I'm torn between a 42" Movado automatic day/date with black leather strap and a couple Hamilton/Tissot/Oris pieces with some complication that would differ quite a bit from my current collection. Just feel like I need to break the theme after the first four.





PS- I got this winder off ebay, and it's the best choice I ever made. 1000 alternate direction TPD to keep any watch wound. Beautiful display case too. Never have to set one again.

For the low price one can find an Invicta watch at, they are tempting. I like your design for example. Some other others like the Windsor Skeleton are breathtaking. The problem is that I just don't know how much I trust their craftsmanship. My friend had a (very) low end Invicta Quartz that I tried on. It looked nice, but the band barely flexed enough to be comfortable, caught the hair in my wrist whenever it moved, and overall felt like a cheap watch. Maybe their more expensive or automatic models will differ. I'd like to hear back what you think after some time on your wrist.
