Like NuclearFart, I really dig the moonphase complication and I've always liked the triple date (month, day, date) moonphase variation but the fact that the month and day registers are pretty tiny and my eyes are old, I've opted for a simple moonphase and date watch in my collection.
Also you should be aware that the B&M with it's 43 mm case is fairly large for a dress watch.
You may want to consider a couple other similar options in the marketplace in your price range (or possibly cheaper).
Frederique Constant isn't a large brand but they offer in house movements in many of their watches. They offer this 42 mm moonphase with date which is clearly inspired by the JLC version of this complication.
Montblanc, which is also part of the Richemont group offer a similar moonphase and date model at a more traditional 39 mm size.
I hope this helps a bit.
Good luck with your purchase!
