a decade ago, I had a similar dilemma but with the 1815 up down and VC traditionelle small sec - both in wg.

I couldn’t make up my mind as I liked both, but I was always seeing them apart at different AD’s.
Until one time an AD had both pieces and it was a no-brainer for me at that time. The 1815 up down I liked more as I felt much more was happening on the dial (also more color) so that decision was made.
Never ended up with the up down also, haha, due to a new 1815 release from Lange which I bought.

If it’s possible see them side by side. I think that will also help a lot.
At the end …. Both are very nice brands and watches.

Good luck!

Ps - sorry for bad quality pics

I will heed your advise and try to see them both side-by-side. May not be possible though now a days since both brands are boutiques only where I am.

Have a similar pleasant dilemma

But it's between two Langes. The watch you mentioned 380.027 is a gorgeous piece in my opinion. You really can't go wrong with either. 38.5mm is a very nice size.

Is there really a WG version coming? What's the dial?

At this point

I am just hoping and waiting for the Vacheron WG. I have no other information.

I have the Saxonia Automatic 380.026

For about 12 years. It’s an awesome watch, understated but oozes quality like all Lange watches do. I have no regrets. Many in the community would say that it isn’t the first choice for an entry level Lange given it is too austere/simple. Also many people...  

Thanks for the detail info
