The perfect unlimited budget watch for me would have a Lange finishing, a Breguet tourbillon and hands, and a JLC movement. Budget constraints: Oris Rectangular Complication. Great pedigree, rectangular case, curved sapphire glass, and a guilloche, sunburst dial with polished applied Arabic numerals (which reflects light light a diamond sans bling). Day sub-dial at 3, Date sub-dial at 9, GMT sub-dial at 6, and Moon Phase at 12. Never seen a GMT and Moon Phase complication together before. Under $1000 if you can find it.

I recently got a chance to see a "Junghans" in person, I'd never held one or even knew much about the brand's history. It reminded me of Germany architecture, and the AD remarked it is indeed one of the Bauhaus inspired brands. He showed me the Max Bill Chronoscope and I was blown away - it actually struck me more than Nomos. The AD asked me to guess the price, and I gave it an estimate of between 5K-8K; was shocked to realise it was worth less than 2K brand new. Going to add it to my collection next week.

@V P No. Wow. You, apparently, have no clue about pricing in the modern world. The Meisters at Junghans do not ask your opinion about pricing for anything. Nor does anybody else, of that I am sure. Pricing of any good is not based upon the opinion of V P. What you will pay has ZERO significance upon either the market or pricing structure. So why do you feel compelled to shit on someone else's opinion with your opinion? Are you buying the watch for him? Then put down the keyboard, man.
