VC Overseas vs PF Tonda vs Moser Streamliner vs Czapek: Rank them?

The 15202 and the Nautilus are out of reach. Yet the need for an integrated bracelet watch is strong. Narrowed it down to the following 4 options. How would you rank them? My pros and cons of each (I would buy any one on the secondary)

1. VC Overseas 4520 Blue

+ I would finally enter the Holy Trinity of watchmaking (currently all Rolex)
+ That blue is the best in the game
+ Geneva Seal

- Prices of the 4520 blue are still elevated. Could go for the 4500 but the taper of the new bracelet is very important to me
- The bracelet doesn’t appear as impressive I.e the AP bracelet shines like a “disco ball” on the wrist. It truly is a thing of beauty. The finishing on the VC is obviously top tier but perhaps a bit too subtle for my liking

2. PF Tonda Microrotor Salmon No-Date

+ The thinness is exquisite. Closest feeling watch to a Nautilus basis the thinness alone
+ The micro rotor movement is amazing and perhaps a bit more advanced than the others
+ Platinum Bezel

- Brand cachet not as strong as the VC
- Bracelet also not as nice as the AP

3. Moser Streamliner Salmon

+ The sexiest watch on this list basis looks alone. Looks like Dragon Scales
+ Very nice movement finishing as well
+ Nobody does a Fume dial quite like Moser
+ The Bracelet glimmers akin to the AP

- Brand cachet not VC level
- A bit thick

4. Czapek Antarctique Salmon

+ Very nice feeling on the wrist
+ Bracelet Glimmers

- People smarter than me have mentioned that the finishing on Czapek bracelets and movements aren’t worth of the price. I can’t opine here but would love thoughts
- Don’t like the typography
- Too similar to the Christopher Ward Twelve (given they shared the same designer)
