[QUOTE="ez bake, post: 2590349, member: 229"] Just as an FYI for those who are looking for a good Skeleton Watch (auto with the guts exposed on the front), I've been really researching this and have found that there are very few reliable movements in what I consider "affordable" (i.e. $200 or less). Two that keep popping up on the radar are the Kenneth Cole Transparent watches (they always seem to get great reviews), and a Chinese company by the name of SeaGull Watches [url]http://www.usseagull.com[/url] SeaGull watches have "China Made" at the bottom of them which is not the normal "Made in China" import regulated marking due to the fact that Seagull actually makes a nice movement and is attempting to brand "China Made" like "Swiss Made" with some degree of pride (they started with a Swiss movement and re-designed it to be something they could produce cheaply and reliably). Seagull actually makes 1/4 of all mechanical watch movements in the world today, but their skeletonized M182SK is the one I'm interested (it's one of their more famous skeletonized movements). This watch can be had for around $135. They come with a 2-year warranty when bought from an authorized dealer, but they are fairly small watches and I'm not crazy about the fancy crowns on most of their watches (they have also recently gotten into Turbillion watches and higher end stuff for around $1200 plus dollars which for me is too much to pay for a Chinese-built watch). Here's an example: [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/image.dhgate.com_desc_285296278_00.jpg[/IMG] Well after doing some digging, I discovered that most of the Kenneth Cole watches I was looking at with a skeletonized face have this exact same movement in them, but come with a Kenneth Cole Lifetime Warranty: [b][Broken External Image][/b] [b][Broken External Image][/b] [b][Broken External Image][/b] [b][Broken External Image][/b] [/QUOTE]
