But I know what you mean. Hype beasts don’t care about comps lol they wouldn’t be able to set the damn thing anyways.

My personal favorite Journe is the Centigraphe Type F with the red dial in platinum on bracelet. When it was produced MSRP was about $115K, 4.5X the MSRP of a CB. Unfortunately, I couldn't afford it and had to settle for a CB.
I love chronographs and understand the preference true aficionados have for complications as examples of the watchmakers art
At the same time I scratch my head when I read comments condemning the seeming ignorance of hoards of buyers willing to pay more for simple design than for complications. It's their money and a lot of us benefit from it.
