Complications: where do they rank?
Having lurked for a long while(with only the smallest break in the lurking), I had a question I'd wondered about. Having been looking back in time to page 100+ in the forums, I feel there's less wider-ranging horological discussion than there is individual watch discussion, with mostly "Look at what I bought" and "What should I buy" threads tending to be most common(as much as I know we all like to look at shiny things).So, tiny comment aside, the real question is this: What seems the be the general "ranking" of complications in terms of most difficult to implement? I know there are almost innumerable complications, ranging from the esteemed (gyro)tourbillon to an automatic winding system, which is so common as to barely be considered a complication at all, but what would you guys consider the general difficulty levels to be?PS: Feel free to add any strange ones as well that you consider interesting or unique as well, like the rotor power reserve on the Blancpain L-Evolution Tourby.

What would you do? 5712 vs 5712R
Here is my situation. I have a deposit with my AD for a 5712 in SS. He was just informed that they will be getting only 2 (they usually get 4) for all of 2018. I was originally told that I would be getting one in 2018 but with them only getting 2 for the year he thinks that I may not now. He offered me the next 5712R they get with a 10% discount. It would be 39k+ after discounting which would make it the same price as a new SS 5712. I'm not sure I really want the 5712 on a strap but at this price I'm extremely tempted. There is still the chance I would get one of the two SS 5712. What should I do?
