Well, I just bought it. Except I paid $57.50 shipped instead of $74 after shipping that was in Doc's link. Brand new, with box/tags, off of E-bay. :)

 

That was a good score. I'll be interested how you like the watch and whether you're satisfied with the leather band.

I have had the watch for a little over two weeks now. Upon getting it and doing some research, I came to find out it is NOT a leather band, but a synthetic (rubber) band. Amazon and a number of other places have it listed wrong - this watch isn't offered with a leather band.

 

I'm not in love with the synthetic band, but it's not bad, and comfortable enough. I love the look of the watch and it wears well. The price was right.

 

My wife also gave me my birthday presents Saturday evening (though my b-d is the 21st). One of the things she got me was this watch:

 

Invicta Men's 7208 Signature Collection Mechanical Skeleton Watch

 

It looks a LOT better in person. The black around the face isn't nearly that dark and looks really good. The inside is more gold than yellow in person, and looks sweet. I still need to buy a sizing tool so I can remove two links.

Do not buy any of the brands mentioned in the first post. Nothing against the brands themselves. I just would not trust their quality in a skelton/automatic. Personally paranoid. MAYBE an INVICTA (but i am not an invicta fan).

 

 

 

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

 

I WOULD REC ORIENT! (wait for the 50% coupons they FREQUENTLY put out for first tiem buyers}

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 fuck (Panerai homage)

 

CHEAP AS FUCK

CLiffs notes:

1. Bulova

2. Orient (50% off)

3. Michael Kors

4. Kenneth Cole

 

God Damnit I love your watch and cigar taste! :thumbup:

 

I'd love to check our your watch box sometime. I have a few Bulova, one Kenneth Cole, a few Rolex (hate!), Movado, and some fossil/cheapies. I need a Breitling. :(
