Having just purchased the skeleton watch, I may be somewhat biased... but I really don't like these on first impression. I think the skeleton watch works because it was an all new case with an all new 'face', whereas this looks like an old Carrera face put into the skeleton case. I may eat those words when I see them in the flesh (I thought the Tudor Pelagos looked nice until I actually saw one!) but right now I'm not digging them. I wonder if the strap is the same, because it would explain why the lugs don't seem to fit properly as the case is smaller... surely not? I think the titanium is the worst of all though...

I have the same first impression. But the more i look at it, the more i like it. I was thinking of getting one now even though i too just recently purchased 45mm. The one in the photo attached is my favorite. Can wait to see the sunburst effect in person

I saw one at the weekend, still not entirely sure about them to be honest...

I like it !
I like it too. However I am still undecided about the titanium, or ceramic bezel. Need to see them in the metal to make up my mind.

I am leaning towards the ceramic like yours, but I do want to see the finish of the titanium, especially from the sides.

Who's Tom Brady?

And why is the Carerra line gradually morphing into the style of the F1 range?

Over the last week I was finally able to find a dealer that had both the black and anthracite models. The anthracite doesn't photograph as well, but is definitely the winner over the black one.

I found a short YouTube video of someone trying on the Heuer 01 43mm. It's a very exciting video, or at least the music is.

It would be great if Calibre 11 shot small snippets like this one. It's great seeing the watch in 3D catching the light at different angles.

Update:

I've seen the titanium model yesterday and i am glad i chosen the black ceramic and grey dial combo.

While the titanium offer really light weight feeling, it doesnt really "speak" to me. I guess it just a preference thing.

Cheers
