Searching for the perfect big date

I love big date complications, even though I have no problems with my vision, I find refinement and beauty when I see s well executed big date comp in a well balance dial. Which are your favorite big date watches? I would love to own one without breaking the bank... If you have any recommendations for a big date comp under 3.000 USD I would love to receive some candidates.

Have a good day!

For me it’s the Lange One Lumen.. but 3k won’t get you far in Lange territory. Under 3k: Seiko, Alpina and Mido has a few..

I am trying to avoid buying more watches since I tend to keep my purchases, don’t really need extra but lately definitely staying away from any extra complications that might impact the over all cost of future servicing. I do recall brands like Seiko and Mido with iterations in their catalogues in the past but the Glasutte Original seems to be the one that many collectors settle for unless their floor is my ceiling in which case they will favour Lange

This one was a couple of hundred. It’s just a quick pick up to fill a niche.
