If I was a flipper, obviously I'd go with the CB, it goes for 2x the 1815 Chrono, and it's a raffle, so it's not like I'm betraying an AD relationship.

You are making lanteanflux's point for him; even though it's an obvious choice from an horological sense, it's not an easy one from an economic POV. One retails for twice the other, and one sells in the grey market for twice the other and it's not the same one.
One of the problems is that there are many buyers who place zero value on complications, in fact it can be a negative from the perspective of delicacy and service cost and, from a rarity perspective, three hand watches from Patek and Journe are it, particularly in non-precious metal.
