Affordable moon phase watches
I've always been enamored with the moon phase complication and while I'm not entirely sure what the function does, I am assuming it's pretty self explanatory. After seeing those beautiful Blancpains my interest was once again aroused. Knowing I'll never get (I know never say never) a high horology piece, I'm now looking to see options on more "affordable" moon phase watches. What can you guys recommend?

My favorite complication!
I have a Tissot #moonphase quartz (because it's hard to set the moon complication on a regular basis), Raymond Weil moonphase automatic (because I was stupid about how much time it takes to set a moon complication).
Teddy Baldessarre has a good YouTube on moonphases.

Christopher Ward has a remarkable, realistic moonphase.
Here's a good article also:

I’d happily recommend the Echo Neutra Averau Moonphase line. I’ve got these two.

That meister is super nice! But ya kinda steep for me. Thanks for sharing those great options!
The latest Christopher Ward C1 is easily the best looking moonphase in its price class.
