These hit so much above their league for the price you can pick them up. I am doing an overhaul of my collection and was just in the situation of being able to pick up:
Option 1: $15k- New Omega 3861 + New GP Laureato Vs Option 2: $75k- New Daytona + New RO FIVE TIMES as much for option 2, yet I think the Omega looks better, GP has better WR and more comfortable bracelet, and multiple other factors. I obviously chose option 1 (granted I did get a bit of a good deal). Rolex/AP/PP hype is opening the door on some amazing bargains for other brands. |

If one wants the integrated style w/o the thickness, there are still Defy Classics floating around out there in dealer cases, but I think they came primarily in titanium (there may have been PM versions) They have the Elite, though. |

Guess it depends if you choose to be a follower or a leader.
Obviously AP / PP for followers. H. Moser if you're a leader. MB&F if your an adventurer. Jmho

What about a A. Lange & Söhne or Glashütte with perpetual calendar?

Update- I tried on the Laureato after buying, man the 42 felt a smidge too big for the plain design and bezel. I ended up selling it because of this. Highly suggest anybody reading this thread to try one on in store, as I felt it was more dinner plate than a sub for example.
