    First Dress watch

    Hi everyone - first time poster.
    I am looking into getting my first dress watch. I own a submariner already, so the sportier side is covered.

    I am looking in the $8,000 - $16,000 range.

    I love the Blancpain Villeret Moonphase 6654-1127-55b... I cant find much in the way of pricing but it seems to be coming in around $10,000.
    Anyone have any other options for me? I understand the quality and reputation is Blancpain is quite good. I am not willing to sacrifice much in the way of that. I also find myself really liking the moonphase (for looks). My knowledge of the higher end brands is slightly limited as I am just beginning to take an interest.

    That's a beautiful Blancpain watch. But of course if you are good at haggling, you might be able to get away with GO Senator Perpetual Calendar at the 16k price mark.

    If you are looking at lower, you can try JLC master control or GP as portauto suggested.

    the GO is a great suggestion, and if you can find a senator perpetual, do strongly consider that..your Blancpain is one of my grails so I would strongly say that you go for this very classy moonphase villeret if you like the style..it is a very gorgeous watch in my opinion, I would even rank it to be one of the most beautiful watches of all time :) you can also find used -breguet classique moonphases around 16k if you like the classic look and moonphase, also consider that..happy hunting ;)
