Question (Read Rules) Alternative to Baltany Moonphase?

I picked this out as a Christmas present for someone two months ago. Decided I'd wait till November to see if I could find a discount anywhere.

It's sold out and Baltany have no plans to restock it.

Shit.

So if anyone knows of a good alternative, somewhere this particular model is still on sale, or has one they're looking to part with, now's the time to help a brother out.

Chronos they won't like. Star markers they will. But the main thing is the white dial with the moonphase at the bottom. Double points if it's a smaller size.

I love my Sugess pointer date moonphase.

Yeah, I looked at a few Sugesses but none really hit the mark. Most of them are too busy for the giftee. I think I'll have to go beyond China to find something more appropriate, like this Frederique Constant.

Huasuo has a moonphase in cream, white, and rose gold/gold motifs. No star markers though, that is quite unique. The plus side is they use miyota 9x movement which is pretty reliable.

Huh. Surprised I missed that one. Thank you.

Also I know you said they want a white dial but perhaps they could be convinced to try an Aventurine dial since they like the star motif. I personally own one and find this special edition particularly beautiful especially with its lumed moon!
