Skeleton Dial?
I've been considering picking up a skeleton dial watch. I find the below Zenith intriguing.
Any recommendations in the 38mm-42mm range? |

What are you looking to spend? In that price range the Zenith is pretty unique in what it’s offering. But it’s also not particularly sophisticated in terms of skeletization. You’ll find more dramatic iterations of the technique at Cartier, or from folks like Claude Meylan.

Wanted to love them and was seriously considering one of these.
They’re great and nice it’s a zenith for itself not the Daytona or recent RO lookalikes. The only thing that bugged me was rectifying a five point star with 12 indices.. and 5 doesn’t divide into 12 Then had to go back and look at the regular dial ones and they didn’t quite do it for me, as I’d liked the skeleton Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

If they produce it like the prototype, the new Baillod Tourb is probably the most impressive watch you can get for the money.
Still not sure how they do it, but it only costs around 5k and is presumably fully Swiss made.

If you can stretch the $10k just a little further, I've always liked the Octo Finissimo Skeleton.

Maybe something crazy like the Panoinverse. I wonder how good they look in person. Just looking for something unique.

I also own the Zenith in ceramic, had it for a couple of years now and love it. Very good quality watch that wears extremely comfortable on the rubber strap.
I achieved a very good discount by buying from a grey. |

The Zenith is a good buy. No doubt about it.
