the jazzmaster auto chrono w/ it's valjoux 7750 movement priced around a little over $1k is one of the best bang for bucks imo.. similar watches with the same movement is sold for thousands more
....i do appreciate them for the bolded comments above. While my current styles are not in line with their offerings, I would never look down on them. I have a heirloom Hamilton from '64, its gold and square and tiny, but invaluable to me. I only wear it once a year max, but it would never leave my collection.

And funny enough, one of my Panerai uses the OP III calibre, which is a slight variation on the 7750 (P1). Id say you can save nearly 10K on the movement if you went with the hamilton!
