Is Roamer worth buying?
Hi there!
My (fairly) recent fascination with watches started less than a year ago when i saw the Breguet Tradition on instagram. Since then, I’ve bought a few watches but my obsession with a skeleton remains. I’ve looked at several options, but recognizable Swiss watch brands that I’ve liked are fairly pricey.
Looking for opinions on the Roamer Competence Skeleton in the picture above. At around ₹70,000 / USD 850, is this worth it?

Really only you can answer that. Roamer was an excellent brand once, but my experience with them is limited. I am not enamored with skeleton watches, but it may be just what you are looking for.
Very large watch. Not going to look good on a small wrist. You can get a watch using the same STP movement for $150.00 less. It's a beautiful skeleton dial watch with a good movement for $850. If you like the aesthetic I can't imagine that you would be unhappy with it.

I do! I’ve tried the same piece in black and it looked beautiful, but didn’t want to add another black watch to the collection. And then i saw this, it’s just what i want my next buy to be in terms of color combinations. I have a 6.5in wrist and most of my watches are 43mm and they seem just fine. I guess i’ll just have to try it on and see how it feels.
Where I’m confused though, is whether I’m doing the right thing in paying a decent premium for a swiss movement with a brand that maybe not a lot of folks recognize…
