Not enough as far as I am concerned but way too many says my wife. That said......
A fair balance of dress and sport and various metals. In total a collection that is somewhat commensurate for my lifestyle.
If you don't have a Lange (Chrono) I would say: go for the 1815!
The watch and it's finishing are simply sublime and out of this world (especially for a 'factory' watch).
Easy for me, the 1st one 1815 Boutique Chrono.
The quality and movement is one of the best if there and it really works with jeans or formal. Rgds Raymond ...
The 5230 is a very nice watch my friend
But the 1815 chronograph is on another horological planet. That movement. Those pushers. The heft. For me top ten of all watches of all times. Sorry for being selfish and subjective. ...
Can't really say.
If you want a chronograph, buy Lange and if you want to get a WT. buy Patek. It's difficult to compare apples with oranges. Best, Kari
I would go with A. Lange...
...but with a twist: even though I haven't seen the boutique edition in person, in photos there just seems to be a sameness or flatness because of so much blue. So perhaps I'd go with a different metal...subject to change of course until/if I get the chan...
Without doubt
I think you should go for the Lange. The movement is sublime. The Patek has a gorgeous dial but the movement cannot compare to the Lange's superior finishing. The FP Journe would only compete in terms or rarity but the servicing cost of a FPJ is a lot hig...
I would go for the Patek WT. It is an icon. The 1815 Chrono is very nice but always living under the shadow of the Dato.
Put the Datrograph first generation, and I would tell you Dato.
Tough to recommend not knowing your lifestyle and collection...
But personally I would choose the ruthenium calendrier first, then the 1815 followed by the 5230G. Now this is somewhat a reflection of what would add the most to my little box of watches and what I would prefer to wear in my daily life. These are all spe...
Without reading all the other posts, I say go for the first one!
After reading all the other opinions, I repeat "Go for the Lange" Cazalea
Have you had a chance to interact with those watches?
I know there is a lot of love here for the PP worldimers and aesthetically it is hard to argue; but the wt module is a total antique and pressing the pusher feels like one is operating and old tractor. Totally unacceptable in my opinion even for a watch a...
+1 for the 1815 chrono
But with a twist, I'd prefer the 1st gen. This edition is aesthetically pleasing but leaves me a bit cold. The first gen however has more warmth and charm, IMHO
ALS or FPJ
I don't like the new case on the 5230, I think it's become more formal. The ALS without doubt would be my choice for the most versatile of the three. And the ALS Chrono is after all one of THE chronos. Like others have suggested perhaps the newer black di...
Contrarian Choices
SPSEMOLA, As you asked for a personal opinion... I would get the A.Lange & Soehn chronograph (so pretty) and this L.U.C world timer watch with a date display (so pretty). What is the point of a world travel watch without a date across International Da...
Hmm.. You are changing the price bracket.
In that case I would opt for 5170P personally
Of those three Lange, but..
There are other Journes and Pateks that would be more of a comparison. If you were to put a centigraph and 5170 and maybe a vc chrono, my choiice would be different.
Definitely the 1815 Chrono.
I was facing a similar situation (for a 1st gen 1815), and went as per my advice. No regrets at all! ...
The most spectacular movement by far is the 1815 chroongraph one
I would choose this watch in this selection. Then the WT, then the Journe. But you can't be wrong with any. Think about the answers to these questions: which complication speaks the most to you? which type of movement do you prefer? Handwind or automatic?...
For me...
It would be the Lange, then the FPJ and last the PP. Why, the Lange movement is stunning, the FPJ is also beautiful and love the small details and finish... finally the Patek, nothing against it but not a rare watch. But it depends which one makes you hea...
What a dilemma!...
... between the FPJ and the Lange! I dislike the Patek, so that'd be a distant third for me. I have the Octa Calendrier Ruthenium and really, really love it. I wore it today, in fact (below). It's a beautiful watch to look at. Most people haven't had mech...
Another vote here for the Lange.........
The 1815 chrono is an awesome watch, you won't regret that choice. I happen to own both the original Datograph and 1815 Chrono and have to say that i prefer the 1815 Chrono over the Dato. It's much more comfortable to wear so you shouldn't ever feel like ...
