Sleeper brands/models that offer a lot of bang for buck?
A few years ago older Roger Dubois, Daniel Roth, and Parmigiani Fleurier offered immense value for the dollar. The LUC Chopard's were dirt cheap too for something with a Geneva Seal.

You mentioned Roger Dubuis, and that brand's earlier models have recently piqued my interest.
In fact, it piqued so much, that I went just today and got this one. It to me looks like a classic, and hence, I find it to be a "sleeper" of outstanding crafting and finishing. I think some of the wild and extravagant designs of RD, and the recent astron...
Some that comes to mind
Parmigiani Fleurier and Chopard LUC comes to mind. I think the Chopard Alpine Eagle and Bvlgari Octo Finissimo can be considered value for money in their class.
