Hi, I’m new to the watch world. I am in love with this watch, what are your thoughts about it and is it a good brand? I appreciate it so much! I’m 45 and the only watch I’ve ever had is the Apple Watch, but I’ve been getting a lot of interest in real watches. This watch is $3800 a little too much for me, are there any other similar brands that look like this one maybe? I appreciate your input.

I think this may be the cheapest annual calendar chrono that I know of. You may be able to negotiate with the ADs rather than going straight to boutiques.

The Longines isn't an annual calendar. That's a more sophisticated complication which only requires date correction between Feb - March.

This is month, day, date, moonphase, chronograph based on the Valjoux 7751, a common movement used by multiple swiss and German manufacturers.
