Regulator Watches
I have been thinking that type would be an interesting architecture to add to the collection. I am going to say I never see these discussed, or if they have I have missed such. I see that Chronoswiss has a several configs, but I’m not sold on the brand(yet). For the most part I’m a traditionalist with my watches, so not looking for anything crazy. Anyone have a recommendation?

Check out Alpina watches. There are two different models in the Alpiner Collection. For a long time I have considered looking for the original Alpina Avalanche Regulator from the mid-2000s. They're big and bold, and they're an Alpina mainstay, I think.

I wanted a Regulator for sometime but never pulled the trigger just because all of the one I like are on straps and as much as I love how how some watches look on straps, I just never like wearing straps.
The two I was really considering were the IWC Portuguese Regulator and the Dornbluth Regulator. I was really leaning towards the Dornbluth

This just recently posted at EWC. It is pretty close to exactly what I was looking for except it's a bit old, I don't do black leather (easy enough to resolve that), but most of all when I look at this piece all I see is WEMPE.

I have a Dornblüth where I have configured the dial as I want it. Those are great watches.

Had a great chat with Dornbueth product rep from watchbuys today(I think he is the owner). Learned a fair bit about Dornblueth. No CNC, only makes 10-16 watches a month, built to order, very cool stuff. 50%, non-refundable deposit required, 12-16 month lead time. Seriously considering one.
