True ‘skeletonization’ also includes the trimming away of any non-essential metal on the bridge, plate, wheel train or any other mechanical part of the watch, leaving only a minimalist ‘bare’ skeleton of the movement required for functionality.

          I’ve read that around 6 years ago many influencers bought high end watches and then the market crashed 2022. So your 80k something watch is worth 40k after that. And they didn’t wear them, straight to bank after the sale.

      Clear bottom case is different from skeleton. The watchface is specifically designed for see through, as are mechanical parts.
