S15, love the Navi in white, I'll have to try to get some better pics of mine, I have the blue face with brown leather strap.

Jsnake, Invictas are where watch collecting started for me, welcome to the top of yet another slippery slope...

Thank you and I am doomed! Bought 2 watches in 2 months. Just got that second one yesterday actually.

What brands should I look at next? I want to stay in the $200 or $300 range and I really want a skeleton watch. There are many on the internet that look great but reading reviews the quality seems to stink. I would love a Breitling but it is out of my price range.

There are several Chinese made skeleton watches that are nice for the money.

Thanks for the link. Just what I was looking for. I might actually grab this exact one if my wife doesn't kill me first.

I am big fan of this watch which is under $140 made by Swatch. Swiss made, automatic, skeleton, hip and fun.

You dont need to spend 350 for a skeleton. they either tend to be under 150 for cheapies. or about 400-600 for a decent one.

I WOULD REC ORIENT! (wait for the 50% coupons they FREQUENTLY put out for first tiem buyers}
http://www.orientwatchusa.com/urban-c-44_47.html

Bulova and Kenneth cole also make decent watches... and sell skeletons/openhearts

Also, Michael Kors makes a GREAT Quality watch, im sure they have skellies.


A reliable "Swatch" brand can be had for under 150.00

Also, look for skeletons with Unitas ETA 6497 movement.


Finally, i say just buy one of these.... looks cool as heck (Panerai homage)

inexpensive as well.











CLiffs notes:
1. Bulova
2. Orient (50% off)
3. Michael Kors
4. Kenneth Cole
6. PAM Homage
