What is your "white whale"?

For me it would be the Midnight Planétarium by Van Cleef & Arpels the fact that I can have a miniature solar system on my wrist blows me away. Only €220K

Only €220k... Then it's just one for each wrist then...

Beautiful watch. Glad I started this thread, it's opening my eyes to some seriously beautiful watches.

You would think the Speedmaster would sell enough for a factory to do a super clone of it ala the 4130 of the Daytona. That movement is perfect on one of my Daytona's not withstanding longevity. Time will tell.

Well, it's probably the most iconic watch ever. Even more than the Submariner or the Daytona (and that's coming from a Rolex fan). My bet? They would be selling like hotcakes. Hell, I would take two, one for me and one for my dad's birthday.

I’d have to go with a moonwatch. I ended up getting a gen of the standard speedmaster professional. My “white whale” would have to be this blue one.

For me, the F. P. Journe Octa Automatique Platinum. Only $30K+ but I love the simple look:

Well that’s a gorgeous watch I’ve never seen before.

For me is the Zenith El Primero

The A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia Moonphase. I love this watch and consider to buy the gen, but that would be a real pain in the ass

Ball Engineering Hydrocarbon Submarine Warfare edition GEN is about $2700 but I don't have that kind of spare dough. I want it because it is a tribute to Submariners,​

The Monaco is iconic! Revolutionary for being the first automatic as well as the first square cased chronograph, and for looking extremely awesome on Steve McQueen's wrist in Le Mans. I believe the issue is the movement. The subdial spacing would be off with the A7750 movement. The gen uses a ETA 2892 (and I know there is the clone A2892), the problem is the Dubois Depraz chronograph module that is added onto the 2892.

Yes I did Google all this

I need your help about that.

Heuer Monaco and Tag Heuer Monaco may share the same movement rotated. Small dials' features are the same, something that could be just their gear.

I learn about Dubois Depraz module when i was searching on how could i have full 24h subdial with both hour and minute hands at 3.
Like the 3h subdial on new Omegas.

My point is that may be a lot easier to built a Monaco than my need to have a full 24h small dial.
Also i need to know if ETA 2892 can support 24h subdial instead of 12h with just a different gear.
