Very interesting bunch. All three are very different but they all give the same vibe for some reason. IMHO, you have quite consistent taste.

Always wondered why Bovet didn't get more traction. Impressive timepieces OP!

My underrated list right now would be

1- Kudoke
2- Louis Moinet
3- 90s Rolex GMTs and subs like the 16710’s that range
4- MB&F MAD watches RED/White/green and the all black titanium
5- Any Konstantin jokers or collabs. When he passes they will rocket to the moon.

Omega Musuem Specialties No3 -An Omega manual wind column wheel chronograph in yellow gold, 39mm case, enamel dial with Breguet Hands & numerals? Yes please



IWC Tribute to Pallweber -Jumping hours and jumping minutes all wrapped in a case that is both thinner and has a longer power reserve then the Zeitwerk, all with a great story considering it's pocketwatch history. Giant movement that fills entire caseback is a treat that took 5 years to develop and was never used again. Also the watch is a ton of fun with the audible clicks once the digits jump



JLC Duomètre Quantieme Lunaire  -An amazing timepiece that can go toe to toe with the big three, a gorgeous movement with such depth and interesting design. Foudroyante is a very rare complication that is most welcome.

My Tank Must XL Auto is turning out to be a really good watch. It's comfy, versatile, and mechanically/technically it works and performs really well

It's a Frederique Constant Perpetual Calendar. This is the Redbar LE of 10. Allegedly the 1st 2 went to the leads at RB so I guess only 8 were for purchase. What drew me to it was the red moon over the regular production model.

Tudor ceramic, even the movement is blacked-out coolness

It's also the company's first METAS-certified timepiece. (so take that MilG :) ).
