Please share your favorites! To me this seems like such a great price range for getting into the very high end (especially used) when you don't necessarily want the most complicated watch.
Don't get me wrong, I'd love the hell out of a Lange Datograph or a Patek perpetual.... but that's not going to happen. I can rock this budget, and a Calitrava, Saxonia or 1815 is nothing to sneeze at.
Of course, you can also keep it complicated and go for something like a used JLC Perpetual Calendar. But I would probably sacrifice complications and aim for the very high end with previous materials instead.
Used seems like the way to go unless you're buying a Saxonia Thin. What's your favorites? What off-beat brands or lesser known vintage options should be considered?
Right now my top consideration is a ALS 1815 in 38,5mm (up/down is cool but probably a stretch), but I would love to broaden my horizon
