Kudoke Real SkeletonvsOblvlo VM Tourbillon

Owners widely praise the hand finishing and value of the Kudoke Real Skeleton, with one owner noting the custom piece is not too expensive given the work involved. A shared aesthetic across Kudoke pieces features raised circular minute tracks, metal badge logos, and minimalist dials. Some owners find the arrangement of movement components like the balance cock and ratchet wheels contentious, with one humorously comparing the engraved balance cock to a "dick movement." Overall, owners rate the Kudoke Real Skeleton highly for its hand finishing and value.

Owners widely praise the Oblvlo VM Tourbillon for its striking aventurine dial and crisp, well-executed finishing, with one owner calling it their favorite and only long-term timepiece. The watch is noted for its distinctive design, offering "MB&F vibes for a very cheap price" and excellent value, particularly at its sub-$300 price point. The automatic Oblvlo OBL.8024 movement operates at 28,800 vibrations per hour, and its winding action is described as smooth. However, reviewers consistently flag the lume as very weak, making low-light timekeeping imprecise. Some owners express concerns about the long-term repairability and parts availability for Chinese tourbillons, viewing them more as novelties than heirlooms. The watch is also noted as being heavy, weighing 165 grams. On balance, owners rate the Oblvlo VM Tourbillon highly for its unique design and excellent finishing at an accessible price point, despite its weak lume and potential repairability concerns.
