I happen to think the best looking of RM's watches are unattractive, but then I'm not keen on most skeletonized watches from most other makers either. That makes me not a good person to comment on them from an aesthetic standpoint. Even when I try to put on my "art history/appreciation hat," I struggle to find anything positive to say about the looks of RM's watches.
The ones below are the few I've come across that I don't mind visually, but even among them, but for the very first style pictured, it's more a matter of tolerance than one of liking.
As you can see, each of the ones I don't mind are novelty pieces more so than recurring production pieces.
All the best.
