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

Hello Purists. I would like your opinion. All things considered I would like to hear opinions as to which of the three watches you would get if you could only get one. Thank you in advance for your feedback! ALS 1815 Chrono (boutique version) FP Journe Ca...
The 5230 is a very nice watch my friend
By: Thomahof : November 13th, 2017-13:23
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. ...

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...
Great selection
By: Blourenco : November 13th, 2017-13:54
Not my favourite Journe so it would have to be the Lange ...
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...
Have you had a chance to interact with those watches?
By: als1678 : November 13th, 2017-15:10
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
By: NT931 : November 13th, 2017-15:38
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
By: Jay (Eire) : November 13th, 2017-17:51
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
By: MTF : November 13th, 2017-18:25
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...
Lange
By: patrickmaniac : November 14th, 2017-01:15
Just look at the dial...... Cheers PAt
Of those three Lange, but..
By: shafran : November 14th, 2017-02:05
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.
By: Rhyzen : November 14th, 2017-06:08
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
By: foversta : November 19th, 2017-14:34
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...
By: andrewluff : November 19th, 2017-14:53
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!...
By: CR : November 19th, 2017-17:51
... 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.........
By: TonyR : November 21st, 2017-17:21
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 ...
