It's still in an experimental stage. Swapping straps, might switch to rose gold case, might go totally naked and go without a dial...

Current guise:
Unitas 6479 squelette pvd movt
Parnis Chinese made case 44mm with anti reflective crystal
Hand set from the Parnis supplier
Swiss made dial
Panatime brown reptile strap and steel deployant

The mesh is from Vollmer Germany.

Hope you guys approve!!

Hey thanks. :)

It cost me about 475gbp or 712$us.

I was looking at the nearest manufactured versions and they were a Tissot t- complication squelette which was 987gbp or a discontinued Steinhart Esquelto Noche for around 1100gbp

Excellent. I like it best on mesh with no dial.
