the JLC for me...
not sure how much the VC mentioned is going for but that would be my choice if its in your budget range... no to the GP, Moser, piaget, chopard for me...
lastly, if the patek is the one you want, i'd recommend saving a bit more to get the calatrava, which is just a bit above what you're willing to pay right now anyways.
