Skeleton recommendations

Hello,
I would like to ask for any recommendations of skeleton watches. I was looking on UN Skeleton X. Do you have any other watches and pictures that can be worth my attention. I need something fresh and new in my collection so I decided to take a look and maybe buy something like this.

I'm a fan of those Cartier skeleton watches & tried a number of them at their jewellery event last year but I have to say, they are quite overpriced. I would recommend trying them on & seeing if you can get one discounted on the secondary market

I've got Hublot black magic Aerofusion which is a good buy, bulletproof virtually & stealth enough to wear to work w/a suit

In terms of what’s accessible, Piaget and Cartier (Santos) make great skeletons. The only thing is and this is minor unless you’re WIS, the beveling is machine done

+1 for the Cartier skeleton. Laureato skeleton is nice. There’s one similar to the UN and the brand is escaping me but the model was called the U31. It’s a skeleton tourbillon that looked similar in case shape to the UN and I wanna say it was under 30k

+1 Cartier Skeleton. The interchangable bracelet and strap along with the nice movement on an iconic case is a nice package.

I tried on the steel Santos skeleton, it's a winner. Complete design integration of the movement and dial. Wearable 100m and three easy change straps. Cartier at its best.

I’m a big Piaget fan but I have to say, not impressed by their new skeleton offerings in the Polo S range. To me they seem to get rid of their best lines & replace them with inferior options - the Polo S range, Black tie coussin which is only available with diamonds, list goes on. Garish Altiplano 2 tone

GP Laureto Skeleton. Sneaky good looking watch that is slowly becoming harder and harder to find

I've looked at this thing I don't know how many times and just now noticed that it has date. Not sure if that's a good thing or bad thing. I just love this Defy.
