My favorites, not necessarily affordable.

Now maybe affordable vintage, mostly from the 1940s

I could recommend the A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Moonphase

Love it! I just learned about these dials on the Forum this year. I've seen some decent pictures, but I think I need to see one in person, especially with a moonphase.

RGM 160 Moon phase Chrono. Day date month. You wont see these very often using ETA/Valjoux Caliber 7751.

The all white gold is my favorite BUT they are un obtainable. I had to settle for white Gold Bezel version

I like the new Cellini a lot, but I would be more likely to buy the JLC MUT moon at about half the price.

Triple date moonphase in a rather rare square format and nice size of 26x38mm, sits perfect on my 17.5cm wrist!

This IWC Da Vinci is a beautiful piece !

I love moonphase watch, for me this is the "cherry on the cake" for a dress watch, the most aesthetic complication. 👍
I bought one Jeager Lecoultre "Picasso" Calendar Moonphase, when I saw it, it was love at first sight, unfortunetly I had to send it back, the watch had an uneven patina hidden from the seller (bad photoshop story), so I need to find another new one

Since now it became quite an obsession to find it again 🤔

I'm a big moonphase fan too, unfortunately there barely seem to be good affordable options with decent mechanical movements out there.

I finally got my own JLC Picasso 🥰

I prefer this one from the Vacheron Constantin sister for the French 5 letters calendar (je suis français moi même). 36 mm is perfect for a dress watch and this tears lugs are gorgeous 🙄

I am not sure to keep every watch in my collection but this one is a keeper without any doubt 👍

JLC Master Moon Ultrathin is a steal second hand for the quality of watch and perfect size / design. Really hard to look past for me.

The other brilliant used moon phase watch is the GO PanoMaticLunar, used they’re amazingly cheap for the quality of watch.

Wow! Congrats on finally getting it ! Absolutely gourgeous piece, in a perfect classic size, might be my favorite JLC i've seen.
I agree with your earlier post, moonphase really is the most aesthetic complication, it completes any fine dress watch with a little touch of colour.

Thank you for the kind words on my Da Vinci by the way!😀

The Speedmaster moonphase - seems not popular. What are peoples views on it? Seen a couple for sale here and there.

Agreed! Blancpain moonphases are the best
