The compass on the seiko alpinist has stuck out to me. I'm trying to decide if I should save up for it rather than add more inexpensive pieces.
The Bulova lunar pilot chronograph is something I've almost pulled the trigger on before.

1. It is unique because it runs the precisionist/accutron II technology which is ultra-frequency quartz of 262,000 Hz compared to 32,750 of normal quartz. It's more accurate in time keeping than a Grand Seiko.

but...

2. The problem is most people will see it as a Speedmaster homage and not because a real Astronaut wore his Bulova one time when his Omega broke.

3. It's too damn big
