Hi, first time poster, long time lurker, just came across this by happenstance and figured someone here might find it interesting.

Very nice... if only I could afford it...

Thrift stores do me nice for now, though.  Wink

Ebay might help the cause, even if it isn't ideal.

"I want one, Daddy! I want one! If you loved me you would buy it for me!"

Now I need to get a rich dad, a British accent, be turned into a little girl, and go to Willy Wonka's Awesome Watch Factory, then that quotation would work...



But I wasn't familiar with the term "Skeleton Watch"; thanks for sharing, SteampunkBuilder!

My pleasure my good mechanical man, as is this...

...where a link can be found to THIS...

...which, quite frankly, makes me salivate like Pavlov's puppies!

Found a Japanese site with some amazing steampunk timepieces:
http://www.eager-beavers.net/products/shouhin_guide.cgi?temp=TMP0

...they have gems like these:





Its a little easier to read their web site if you translate it via Babelfish (http://babelfish.altavista.com).  You know the old saying "it loses something in the translation"?  I say this site gains something...in particular, a great many very funny near-miss translations.
