If the 214270 said Patek on the dial it would cost 25k.

So, I've been tempted to get into the world of "better" watches.
I can truly appreciate the movements, the finishing, the history of the
Geneva seal, etc.

However, if I look around, I can't find a watch that seems to be as infinitely
wearable as my 214270 Explorer 1.

You can say the Calatrava with the screw down crown, but here is a WG
piece that's on a strap. It certainly comes closest, but is no where near
a "do everything" watch.

You can look at a Royal Oak, but again, more delicate and outrageous pricing.

I want to get a different brand and experience the high end, but the experience
seems to be very limited to black tie dinners.

Is it just me? Does anyone else have this problem?

HELP!
