Hey Patrick, this is an interesting analysis 🥂

There are brands that similarly put a same movement into different model range and charge differently. In the secondary market, the price differential between these models with the same movement is also very apparent. So buyers are looking at the whole package with the movement and all, and willing to pay a premium for the same movement in different casing/package.
For the Ingenieur, I think whether fairly or optically, $10k would be about right looking at lWC’s own offering as well as the competition.
Among those in this article, the best overall package and value to me has to be the Bulgari. This is based on my experience handling all the pieces mentioned herein. For the Chopard, I find the bracelet clasp mechanism to be the most difficult to release/unclasp. I am comparing to the others in the article or maybe I did not do it correctly.
Since I have the Sub no date, let me take another look at the Octo Finis and the Ingenieur😉.
Cheers!
