Excluding the brands mentioned (and sticking to the $3-$5k range), I'd say Nomos and microbrands like Dornbluth, Kurono, Ming and Habring.

My problem with Grand Seiko is that ... it makes you question why you would want anything else. The finish for the price will blow your mind and it become harder to justify their "Luxury" brands that you have to pay for and get less ...

$3K - $5K

Since you excluded Omega and Seiko, I'd say Cartier and Grand Seiko (technically a Seiko, but not a Seiko) fit well.

For a little bit more, Panerai and JLC.

IWC tends (I think to price higher than that..... Breitling is hit or miss for me, but, usually a miss.

Pre-owned, lots of GP's, same for ML Masterpieces, Breguet Type XX, BP FF Trilogy and Eberhard. ,

Grand Seiko might be the best bang for buck in that price range. As others mentioned Ball and Nomos are great as well.

Of the watches you listed I would say GS and IWC in the sub $6k category

I'm a fan of GS and Cartier, too.

I would go with a used Panerai in that price range, in fact, I already did, twice.
