What should I buy? One more slot left!
I have one more slot in my watch box.
I want to fill it with a watch that has a unique complication that nothing else in my collection has, so looking for ideas.
The Poll is for the complication. Also open to suggestions.
Criteria:
- max budget is $10K.
- must be new, not vintage (don't care if A/D or grey market)
- should be 39-41mm. In some cases, I can go up to 42, but no more.
Super points for:
- have an awesome bracelet with no-tool micro adjustment
- 100m of water resistance
- transparent case back
- tool free bracelet/strap system
- bidirectional external bezel
Hit me with your suggestions, I MIGHT just take one of them 🙂

I voted B but C should be the easy only choice not sure if there are any good mechanical perpetual calendar models on the marketplace for 10k. A perpetual calendar used to be the complication
every collector wanted eventually
I voted C, but I don't know of a New Perpetual Calendar for <10k, so I can't offer a suggestion.
10k budget and you listed a perpetual calendar. If you save 10k a year for few years you might be able to buy a perpetual cal, but a perpetual cal is the ultimate complication.
It's your money and your watchbox, but I think this "slot-filling" approach might leave you disappointed.
Why don't you leave this complication thing aside for a minute and consider something truly authentic, such as a piece from French watchmaker Semper & Adhuc ?

I have a moon phase and like it. It's not a popular complication anymore but it was in the early days. I bought one because it reminds me of the majesty of celestial bodies and our place in the universe.
