Very nice. I’m not a blingy watch type, but for some reason I like it. More ornate than bling. If that makes any sense.🤣

 

Absolute class with the engraving detail from their micro-studio. Especially love the #2 Credor. Wear in good health.

 

It appears Credor Seiko is printed on the crystal to avoid messing up the skeleton finishing work, is that right?

Never seen a Credor like that. Cool find!

 

It strikes me as kind of odd that the whole movement has been engraved and decorated to the nth degree, but that one big spring assembly right up front for the keyless works is just stamped, undecorated steel. Potentially a later addition for service?

 

It's how they are. No idea why they thought that was a good idea.

 

They certainly put some time in on that movement.

Glad you have it back to enjoy.

 

Yeah, the undecorated motionwork bits really spoils the overall looks IMO

 

Wow. That is a lot of work. Looks gorgeous. Like another poster said.. not my style but it's gorgeous work.

 

Not my cup of tea, but the other two are. Very nice indeed.

 

I like your other credor watches. the hands are like GS, but simple and elegant

 

Very nice. Beautiful watch!

 

The other benefit is despite the skeleton, you don't really see your own skin as there's still a lot of watch to block your wrist skin

One of the reasons I’m probably never going to get a skeleton, just too much arm hair

Love that big date Credor, though, kind of a grail for me

 

That is some serious engraving there! And a nice skeletonization pattern too. Although I agree about the keeper plates (they could have at least strawed them with some heat), I would certainly welcome such a watch into my skeleton collection 😀

 

Beautiful watch, kind of hard to read the time tho. Hope you enjoy it.

Yeah, that's why I went for it. It's not really blingy, and I do like ornate watches.

Yeah. They did the same think on the black one.

Yeah, it's a bit jarring. But still pretty enough for me. Japan always does weird things.

They technically no longer sell it (I think they still sell the bracelet?) I think, so it might be easy to find on the second hand market.

Here's all three together.

Relatively so, but I’m don’t think there’s always one available somewhere as with a lot of other luxury watches. I’m not a huge fan of the term “grail” because it implies going on a real search, but the big-date SD Credors do at least require a bit of patience.

 

Nice work on finding it and very nice engraving work. Even if I prefer non skeletonized watches.

Despite not being old, the watch suffers from a problem of vintage dress watches, which is the small size.
33mm is too small for your wrist. And perhaps even to observe/capture much detail of the dial when looking at it

 

The newer models I think do a much better job at hiding the parts you don't want to see.

 

Very nice and rare watch, enjoy

Well they are Japan only, so it's not too common to run into them on the outside. You could always reach out to a dealer in Japan who does, say, Chrono24 (so at least you'll have someone who understands English (or whatever regional version the watch is being sold in).

I don't mind small watches. The smallest I have is 16mm, and the smallest I wear is I believe 27mm. But yeah, I wouldn't mind it being bigger so you can see the detail. Then again, that would mean the "holes" would be bigger and more wrist hair comes through . . .

Yeah they do. Though I did like the yellow gold for something like this.

Very nice and rare watch, enjoy

Thanks!

Well, here's my last day with this before it goes back in the rotation. Luckily I'm at the V's and so it won't take too long to cycle back to the C's.
