AP Skeleton appreciation thread!
A thread below got me thinking of this new post! There are a different threads around with different AP appreciation themes! I seldom see skeles getting posted maybe because of it's scarcity and what not but I would like to start one showing off these beauties!

Have my 15305 on today(excuse the photo quality)! So let me start first. Will get a pic of the QP later.

So lets see your skele/ open works etc! Be it RO, ROO, Jules, Edward, new, vintage, etc!

AP is good for their jules audemars, millenary and ROO, but not for skeleton. I prefer to go for RM or Hublot Unico skeleton.

I thought the Millenary 4101 movement isnt considered openworked/skeletonized. I remember AP saying something about the movement just being flipped so the escapement was on the dial side of the watch.

I'm a HUGE fan of AP skeletonized watches. Really want one of the custom ones with my family crest on the rotor.

Please keep this thread going. Might be my favorite one yet.

RM diver is comfortable, but its a very thick watch .. its light though since its titanium.
