@gostang9 - I will give you the ultimate alternative:

Call Roland at RGM and have him make you a custom watch. They do have a 37 - 38mm case like the style of the Patek. He can make it out of whatever metal you wish. Then you can work with him on the design of the dial, and what caliber (virtually ANY caliber, vintage or modern) you want powering it.
Their model 25 or 250 might suit you perfectly.
