How this list is built

Each is scored against the Franck Muller Vanguard V 45 SC DT 5N TT (18k rose gold with titanium trim, grey dial, grey strap) on the maker's published figures only: the same movement family (mechanical or quartz) scores highest, then water resistance at or above the Vanguard V 45 SC DT 5N TT (18k rose gold with titanium trim, grey dial, grey strap)'s rating, then a case within two millimetres, then a matching crystal material. We do not test watches, and we do not rate resemblance. Prices are shown as bands, never exact figures, because they change daily.
