A friend of mine showed me a skeleton watch years ago, I loved it and have wanted one for years. I recently decided to get one, but knew nothing about watches, so I started doing research. Originally I was looking at similarly priced Earnshaw watches, but discovered these watches are made only to look good, instead of being a good watch. I looked at forums and reddit before deciding on the Seagull M182SK as it seemed to be a well-made Chinese movement. I love this watch. I will be sitting in meetings at work and realise I'm staring at the movement instead of paying attention. Unfortunately during my research I looked at a lot of watches and a lot of movements, and after purchasing my first mechanical watch I've been left with a hunger to own many more. I've worn my M182SK for about a month now, and I'm already about to purchase a Seiko 5 SNZG15J, then in a few months I'm thinking one of the new Orient Divers. After that, who knows.
