It seems independent brands are the endpoints of watch collecting journey. I didn't believe it before, but now I do. I am in the same similar situation as yours, where I started collecting Rolex, then AP, and finally PP only. Recently I am more interested in the independent brands, where I am totally in love with beveling, dial treatment effect of grenage, tremblage, sharp inward angles, or whatever related to manual work. 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.
