Chopard: I love the octagonal case so have to vote for FB1. The sapphire bridges are very cool though ...

Curious what they come up with for their 10th anniversary next year.

Girard Perregaux: Girard-Perregaux 1957 tribute to Gyromatic

This was a 2016 limited edition that didn't really have much of a connection to the original. But it is thin and elegant and especially in person both the champagne dial and the mirror polished / brushed case are gorgeous. I don't know if it is really a tribute, but I love the vintage look.

Cartier: Switched the default gray alligator to a vintage CB bracelet.

The watch went from disco to art deco, I think ...

Girard Perregaux: I completely agree with you, make watches that people would want to buy.

You have laureato, truly iconic. But the current models feel dated. Refine the design, improve the finishing - the bracelet especially needs a lot of work. I am talking about refinements, not radical change. Then you will have a winner. Yes, the secondary market matters but not so much. As Lange has

Audemars Piguet: Thank you for the great photos and for sharing your impressions!

Unfortunately I think at this point we have seen way too many royal oak perpetuals .... The dial is nice but not especially original. It is blue, it sparkles, fine. I am sure the weight of the white gold feels great. It would have been a killer watch 10 years ago, now - I couldn't care less.
