Unlike you, I started with super under radar, young, contemporary watchmakers with reasonable price range of 20k. Hope to hear good news on your RG very soon.

Glad we are on the same path
As I get older I tend to appreciate the hand-work and the number of dedicated hours these artisans put in. Maybe my mind starts to associate luxury with hours and hard work subconsciously.
I still buy Patek though and still hope to collect a MR one day. Their MR are also finished superbly by hand. So many temptations out there.
I will update again when I get the Insight Micro-Rotor
