Chronograph + Moonphase Ideas?
Looking for a fun complicated piece that I can wear worry-free. Looking for a watch with:
-Moonphase + chronograph complications
-Ideally enough WR to swim with or get very wet no problem
-Flyback a big plus
-Under $15k used USD
Right now I'm considering:
-Zenith Chronomaster Triple Calender. Both the normal version and the Hodinkee meteorite one that was previously released. The 4 o'clock date insert is kind of ham handed which I don't love, but it looks way less noticeable on the hodinkee version, which is nice. The meteorite is amazing to me.

-3576.50 Omega Speedmaster. This has a moonphase I like more than the current "realistic" looking moonphase from Omega. LOVE speedie aesthetically and don't have one right now. 
-Brietling Datora. Love the styling, IMO this is a very beautifully designed watch. I just don't love the salmon dial, so might be a pass for that reason.
Anything else I should consider?
I really don’t want a JLC, IWC or Fredrique Constant. Not huge on their styling as of late.

Blancpain is a great option and this one is nice....
30m Water Resistance enough for swimming etc. CvDK Ariadne Source: Monochrome ...
If you go vintage you might be able to
pick up a 1950’s triple moonphase jumbo for $15,000 It’s a lot of watch for the money. But no swimming.
Breitling B25 Datora
A lot of watch for the money and the salmon dial is very nice but they may have other colors if you don’t like salmon. PAM1301. It’s a moonphase. PAM. Not my cup of tea but many like them and they are water friendly but not chrono.
It's just salmon in SS unfortunately! I
I just home from trying the b25 out The good news is that it doesn't wear as thick as it is listed. The bad news is that the salmon is not a great shade IMO! Unfortunately the only way to get out of salmon is the $$$ gold version.

Montbrillant Olympus Perpetual Chronograph Automatic Chronometer Moon Phase Silver Dial
One that I like a lot is the Christiaan Van Der Klaauw Ariadne.
Ok,only 30m WR but why would anyone want to go swimming with such a watch )) .
It looks like Omega is teasing a new speedy moonphase for next week!
from their instagram , looks like a meteorite dial w/ moonphase... set for release next tuesday ...
