If you had $2k to spend for a one-watch collection, I cant think of too many watches better than
...the LLD. Same could be said for your vintage example, though obviously you may have to tack on an additional 0.
Fun picture
I used to own that one, it was a great piece. Size was a small issue that I had... I have concluded I could not wear anything north of 40mm due to my thin left wrist
Amazing brand
It document all watches which leave the plant for centuries. The cheap ones, the middle, and the expensive. Saint-Imier almost nearby Villeret. Neighbors of Montblanc and Blancpain. Happy region.
