Another Lange perhaps?
With that budget, could stretch to a Lange 1 or perhaps a pure time only piece in the Saxonia 37mm (which will come in quite a bit under budget!)
Dear fellow Purists,
I am initiating an interesting reasearch that I hope will raise your interest. I am kindly asking you to suggest a watch to fill in the empty spot in the box considering what is already in and having a budget of 20.000 €. (21.000 USD). Please specify your...
Dear Radu
I would say a three hands (all your other watches have at least one complication), dressed, with a dial colour that you don\'t own already... I\'m thinking about the FP Journe Chronometre Bleu. This watch would be a great addition among your today collect...
Thank you very much, Alkiro!
It was always one of my options. Classic lines with a contemporary face. Lovely suggestion! Thanks!
Sorry for the bad shot but it was few days ago at the FP Journe Geneva shop ;-)
Best wishes Alkiro ...
A Three hand time only watch is also what came to my mind.
But I would go for a silver/white dial one for a dressier look.
Sonata would be nice.
Not to mention the out of budget Freak. Thank you for your suggestions, Nicolas!
I don't think it'll cost USD$20k...
But the upcoming PuristSPro watch would fit right in=) J
That's strange question dear Radone
since you are selling more than one watch from that box right now on our collectors market. Please excuse me but this look like shilling which is not allowed Cheers D
It is only one
and that place is reserved to a Lange 1 Time Zone, also in honey gold.
So you decided not to sell Roger Dubuis?
Good decision but I would also keep the Lange you have I find it very appealing Cheers D
True
I wanted to raise money for a UN Freak (a good opportunity for which I had a time frame) and set a price in my mind for which I would part with the RD. It did not sell for my minimum price therefore I decided to keep it.
A world timer with leather bracelet
5130, 5110, Geophysic would be my suggestions. I know tue 5130 might be tight budget wise, but probably possible still.
That's a very, very interesting suggestion!
I forgot about this nice piece of horology.
Roger Dubuis Sympathie Bi-Retro Perpetual

Jaeger Perpetual Calender
Hello! I´m missing the Peprpetual Calender in your collection. The Q1618420 8 Days in steel (40mm) would be fine. ...
Your current collection is pretty masculine...
How about a JLC Master Ultra Thin or a PP Calatrava Let us know what you get in the end. Cheers! SF
In my humble opinion, I would wish for a more appropriate dress watch than the Lange...
I have never been a fan of the Lange Big Date with the "empty" first row for all days 9 and below; akin to fingers on a chalkboard in my sensibilities; but, to each their own, to which I heartily ascribe. Alternatively, I own the white gold black dial Sax...
Ok so you have three metal bracelets and two leather strap watches. This calls for a leather strap watch.
- FP Journe Chronometre Bleu - H Moser & Cie Venturer Maybe something more out of the ordinary like a - Sarpaneva - Speake Marin - Christiaan van der Klaauw ?
That's also my rationale
And you're the third that comes up with a Chronometre Bleu. I will start to look for one.
CB
Undoubtedly I\'d put a Chronometre Blue from FPJ. It\'s a time only instrument but very different than any other. The rose gold movement is beautiful, the blue dial is mesmerizing and that tantalum case complete its uniqueness! Besides, you need some blue...
Have you considered a couple of vintage ones Radone?
....it takes some bravery, as stated by fellow PuristS in the past Best Regards Edward
It indeed does take some bravery
After 20 years of being a watch lover, I learned to like watches without date or manual mechanical but accuracy and perfect service are things that I am obsessed with. That is why I never really considered vintage watches or cars. I like the vintage look ...
Another Lange perhaps?
With that budget, could stretch to a Lange 1 or perhaps a pure time only piece in the Saxonia 37mm (which will come in quite a bit under budget!)
A few ideas, which may need a bit of a re-jig via the VC and/or BLNR...
Lang & Heyne Friedrich III – bit of reading #1 and #2 Arnold & Son HMS 1 – RG Blue guilloché or SS Silver frosted(?) Chopard LUC Quattro WG Blue , Mark III WG , Lunar One Perp RG , Lunar One Perp Pt Moritz Grossmann SS Minerva Villeret 41 or RG Minerva Vi...
Thank you for the detailed input, P J!
You killed me with the link to that LF Galet. Price is good but out of my current reach. Minerva is a very good option as well. I will look into it. Many thanks once again!
Not if you swap out another piece to release the funds for it.
I can’t stand the look of that Overseas DT (nor the identical AP RO – both are woeful compared to what JLC managed to come up with, using the same caliber!), and as the complication is effectively replicated by the BLNR, then I’d happily ditch it and get ...
+1 for the Chronometer Bleu!
Remarkably versatile, and looks different enough from your other watches. I too think a simple time-only watch would be a good 6th watch. Perhaps, besides the CB, I'd sugggest a TTR1931 Reverso? Or if you'd like a different shaped watch, perhaps a PP 5711...
Thank you, NT!
The CB is so loved here that I started to look for one. Many thanks, R
wonderful...you've almost covered all big collection...
may the next one IMHO would be JLC Duometre or an independent manufacture... Best, mahesh.,
Thank you, Mahesh!
The independents I like are out of my reach: Laurent Ferrier and Kari Voutilainen
2 suggestions!
1) Patek Philippe 5167A 2) A. Lange & Sohne Richard Lange Both time only (ok, the Patek has a date also), 1 more dress, 1 more sport. But hey! You are missing a Patek from your box! So...
There's a reason why I'm missing the brand I like so much and had 4 watches at a time
But this is a thread for watch lovers and personal disappointments are out of place here.
Traditional 2 pusher chrono
The RD monopusher is amazing. But I think a traditional two register chronograph would be a wonderful addition. To be honest I think at half your budget, adding a sector dial two register chronograph would be perfect. the new JLC chronograph introduced at...
Thanks for the tip!
I did not have time to review the new releases in detail. Best, R
5 awesome watches
I am def thinking outside the box on this one. Your looking for a watch like the other 5. I\'m thinking a Richard Mille blue rm10 . Blow the other 5 out of the water.
JLC Master Ultra Thin Perpetual Calendar in Steel.
Every serious collector should have a JLC. Or A good indie: FP Journe Blue or Paul Gerber
