Help, I have no power reserve!
It's the one complication that I've never had, and really want to and am having a bit of a hard time nailing down a suitable piece to add to my collection. Small seconds and power reserve would be absolutely perfect. Anyone have some ideas to throw at my id much appreciate it.
Style wise something nice and clean. Perhaps in the same vein as a Schauer Kulisse. I don't mean it has to have screws all around the bezel, just the style in gerpneral terms. Fixed or rotating bezel no matter either way.
41-43mm, lug to lug no more than 50mm
Ttypically go for black, grey or white dials
Swiss mov't, auto only. No hand crankers
Spend 3-4k ish
Picture of the Kulisse 14 for reference

Is this too dressy?

I have always liked the Orient Star retrograde (yak yak yak, i know it ain't "Swiss", i never understood the "Swiss"-fixation some people have....). When you get one of these you won't even come near the budget you mentioned.....

I don't have any PR watches, and it's the autos I wish had them, at least on the back. The manuals I know how much reserve they've got left, as I know when I wound them. The autos after 24 hours off the wrist I'm wondering: how much reserve did you have when I took you off....?

Yes I like to confirm from time to time (when I'm wearing it) that I'm still alive by glancing at the reserve pointer
