Again, not an owner, but my impressions...
Fred, I know one individual (and many individuals who wear the Patek Philippe equivalent model 3970 and 5970 daily) who wears this watch as his daily watch and he wears it every day and finds it very practical, useful, and enjoyable.
The Gentleman enjoys winding the watch daily; almost never uses the chronograph, but doesn't leave the chronograph in the reset position all the time either; he has gotten a very few compliments on the watch from individuals who have no idea what it is in the past few four or so years of ownership.
The Gentleman wears barrel cuffed shirts every week-day and doesn't have any problem with the thickness nor weight of the watch. He does have another thinner and simpler watch for more formal occasions and never wears the Datograph Perpetual for any occasion more formal than business formal. The watch is sometimes worn in extremely casual settings as well; such as traveling, in jeans, at the race track, etc.
The Gentleman finds the watch easy to use and uses it daily, and has never put the watch down for more than three days. He finds the accuracy to be "good" and finds the display to be "legible enough" for practical purposes. While he has other watches in his collection (including other choice Langes) he affirms that the Datograph Perpetual is usually worn five days a week and is considered to be his daily watch.
Hope this helps Fred. Enjoy your new watch when you get it!

Questions for Datograph Perpetual owners:
Hello all, Now that a new year has started, it is an appropriate time to look at a wonderful Lange: the DATOGRAPH PERPETUAL. How many of you owners of that fascinating timepiece: 1- keep it in a cold and dark safe (WHY?)? 2- wear it occasionally (WHEN?)? ...
Not an owner but the answers are easy I believe...
Any Lange watch is created to be worn on a daily basis, even the most complicated ones. Moreover, the interest of a Perpetual Calendar watch is to wear it everyday... without having the need to adjust something. And winding it every morning is a wonderful...
Answer is never hard
for you dear Francois-Xavier because you had each and ever one on wrist ..... "small" idea and request... what about mega-giga-tera post with all WS shots you had... That one would be a keeper!!! Best Damjan
The size of the moon display is an issue for me too
Apparently there's room for a larger “presentation” of it. So, it would be really a design option, not a “trade-off”. Right?
I have the white gold version
but must confess that though it is one of my favorite Langes, I don't wear it as often as I would like (I've worn it about 20 times in two years) because: - IMHO, it is more of a dress watch (than a casual watch). I am a retired person and don't get many ...
Beautiful pictures and watch Sam.
The white gold model with the grey dial is gorgeous . May I ask if you find the watch comfortable? I see that the case is raised at the back around the movement like the datograph, which is my only complaint about the watch... the way it rests on my wrist...
Thanks
The watch with the deployant buckle is certainly comfortable. It is a bit heavier than most other watches but that is fine with me, as I like to feel a bit of substance on my wrist. Best Sam
Thoughts...
Hi Fred, Happy New Year! I briefly considered the Dato Perp but opted to keep the regular Langematik Perp because I thought the subdials on the Dato Perp were too small (not a little too small -- they were very much too small for my liking). To do just ab...
Thank you, CR
Personally, i find the Dato Perp more interesting and elegant than the Langematik Perp. And i love the functionality of the 10 o'clock pusher. I don't mind having to look closely to find out the day and month. I'll probably opt for the Dato Perp in PT. Bu...
I agree with some other comments here
that the Dato/perp is at a watch-making pinnacle. Not so bad to combine the best chrono movement with a perpetual calendar. Some thoughts to add in no particular order: Frankly this is the most useful chrono/perpetual that I am aware of. Whether or not th...
A Great Watch!
Not sure I can add much to the discussion. This is a magnificent timepiece. Yes the day of week and month displays are a bit small, but frankly all that counts is the date, and that is easy to read with the traditional form of Lange outsize date. Setting ...

Thank you! Although the real classic is the Datograph...
...the Datograph Perpetual is an amazing machine where complication is entirely to the service of practicality. Its "under the radar" discretion is not the least of its charms, IMO.
