GMT watch with a design strongly inspired by the Tudor Black Bay GMT, but a few details differentiate it, in particular the dimensions. 
The case is 39 mm wide with a 40 mm 24-hour bezel that protrudes slightly from the case, the case is brushed with a polished chamfer. Very good manufacturing quality, all alignments are perfect, no play at the bezel level, impressive quality of luminosity in the dark. Chinese Pearl GMT movement, with a drift of about ten seconds per day when the watch is worn. 
I really like this watch that I have been wearing often for 3 years, for me the points of difference with the Tudor are advantages.

Pagani design PD-1706 Automatic GMT

Pretty steel watch in a chic sports style, 3-hand quartz, date, sapphire crystal, 100m water-resistant, screwed back. 40mm bezel, 8.5mm thick. Brushed aluminum style dial, well-crafted applied indexes. All the finishes are magnificent, its design refers to several great classics of this style, but it has its own identity.

Casio Edifice EFB 108 DW

Watch that I have had since 1998, it is a quartz chronograph with 3 analog sub-counters for seconds, minutes and 24-hour display, and a small multi-function digital screen at 3 o'clock. The chrome-plated brass case is 40mm in diameter and 11.5mm thick. The blue dial is very beautiful, well worked with applied numeral indexes, there is a very pretty backlight that is activated with the pusher at 2 o'clock. We find all the usual functions of a digital Casio in addition to the analog display, we can choose to display on the digital screen the date, the time that can be set independently of the hands but with synchronization of the second, the hundredth of a second of the chrono... There are 3 pushers at 10 o'clock, 8 o'clock, and 2 o'clock and a crown at 4 o'clock. A rotating compass bezel in both directions. A 5-link folded steel bracelet. I have worn this watch a lot, I find it very beautiful, practical and super solid, the battery life is between 1 and 2 years. Waterproof to 100m.

Casio Illuminator Analog and Digital Chronograph

Bronze diving watch 20 atm, 42 mm and only 10.6 mm thick. Selita sw200 movement. Steel diving bezel, superb quality of clicks, no play. Blue dial with submariner style indexes and hands, superluminova. Blue ruber strap with bronze buckle. 
Watch of exceptional quality in every way.

Glycine Combat Sub 42 in bronze

Rectangular watch, black dial lacquered on the sides and textured on the middle. 3 sub-dials at 6 9 and 12 o'clock for the 24-hour display, day and date. Miyota quartz movement. 36.4 mm wide steel case, 45.5 mm from lug to lug and 28 mm between lugs. Case back tested for 5 ATM.
Black leather strap.
Very beautiful and comfortable watch, I have worn it a lot for 14 years in sometimes quite harsh working conditions and it is very reliable.

Festina F16235 multifunction quartz

3-hand watch from the Formula 1 series with a "diver" spirit, it is a little big 42mm in diameter by 12mm thick, but wears well. SW 200 movement with a drift of more than 9 seconds per day. Exceptional Luminova. Great feeling of quality and solidity at all levels. Price a little expensive, but the quality is there.

Tag Heuer Formula 1 Calibre 5

Compressor diving watch, retro style, magnificent dark blue dial, almost black when there is not much light, but very rich in variations depending on exposure to the sun. Superb dimensions (39mm) very balanced, I find the shape of the case perfect, it is entirely brushed, except on the chamfers of the bezel and the horns where it is very finely polished. The adjustment crown is screwed but the 2nd crown at 2 o'clock for adjusting the flange is not. Superb rice grain steel bracelet, quite thin, too bad there is a little play on the buckle once closed. Precise Miyota movement, between plus 2 and plus 5 seconds per day for my copy. Very warm welcome at the showroom in Paris.

BALTIC AQUASCAPHE DUAL CROWN

Very nice Seiko Turtle style but with smaller dimensions, dark blue lacquered dial, beige index, date between 4 and 5 o'clock on a very discreet blue background. Arrow hands for the hours, cathedral for the minutes and reverse lolipop for the seconds, same color as the indexes. Cousin-type steel case with pierced horn and two-way compass-style bezel. Crown screwed at 4 o'clock, water-resistant to 200m. Superb luminescence. Seiko 4r35 movement between +2 and +7 seconds per day.

Seiko Land Tortoise

Inspiration, homage, copy, I won't get into this quarrel... but here is what pushed me to take the plunge on this model: to add or not a skeleton model to my collection, and this crucial question of course came during confinement. So what could be more natural than to test the skeleton "style" for a small price. My choice therefore fell on this model with a 43mm case for 13mm thickness, sapphire crystal and ceramic bezel. Transparent back and skeletonized oscillating weight as well. It kept all its promises for a budget in only two figures. The power reserve given for 3 days is around 60 hours and I tested the 10 ATM announced in the swimming pool, the screwed crown did the job well. It is robust and the oyster bracelet as well as the clasp are of quality. I enjoy wearing it on occasion and I find that it has its place in the variety of models in my collection. Finally to finish this allowed me to answer the initial question on skeleton or not skeleton, and well there won't be any others I think (of skeleton, because I then acquired a second Pagani... you can't change your ways!=
