Opinions Wanted

I started looking into timepieces outside of the Rolex realm. I'm interested in some sort of calendar. I was wondering what others considered as a good option for a calendar (doesn't have to be perpetual).

These two are intriguing.





Which of these two would you consider?

Thanks...

From design alone I would go with BP, looks great. But as a brand I prefer JLC. They have some stunning Master Control's in their line-up, but I think that one is all over the place. I don't get PR indicator on an automatic watch.

This one is great though, such a clean dial, but unfortunatley discontinued.



And here is the calendar to end all caledars



The PR indicator is forgiven this time

Of the two I'd prefer the JLC, however this watch crept onto my radar screen
a while back and doesn't seem to want to leave. Relatively affordable, too,
so check it out...

Zenith Captain Winsor:
Good luck...

The JLC would be my choice but the Zeniths look interesting.
