Huge congrats Jeff!
And you got my fav version, with this amazing slate dial!
I'm not a huge an of the Datograph Perpetual because I find its power reserve too short for a PC watch, especially a handwind one. And the readbility of its dial is not, for me, the best in class. But who really cares?
It is a great timepiece with an impressive movement.
Enjoy it!

A Two For One Switch......And The Result.
Sometimes a person has to be reasonable. Adding, adding, adding to a collection when a new watch catches one's fancy can only go so far. So there are times when reasonableness, better said, sanity, demands that something goes to allow something else in. A...
Glad you gave those 2 up
For a timepiece from the absolute best manufacture in the world. Enjoy Tschuss Stephen
A much better option..
to get something that you actually wear than to have those that just sit in the safe. But I do hope that it wasn't one of the three PPs that you mentioned in your post. This grey dial Dato Perp. is also my favorite - congrats! F
Congratulations! White metal is always the wise choice...
My one concern with a piece of this nature is the legbility of the subsidary dials, especially in low light conditions. Enjoy your super new Lange! -- Richard.
Congrats Jeff!
Hard to beat this chrono/perpetual. it is ironic that some call this Dato poorly legible. I find it the easiest to read the important data of all chrono/perpetuals with the big date window. And you know I love this WG/gray dial combo.
Could not agree more
How can there be a legibility issue with this watch? What counts with a perpetual calendar is the date and that is super legible. Honestly the only perpetual that I know of that is more legible (apart from the regular Lange perpetual) is the Moser 1, whic...
One big detail and one small detail ...
make this one win the pp chrono race by miles: first of all the movement and secondly the neat, lovely day and night indicator of Lange. I find the additional 24 h dial on QP and QA watches sooo annoying, as practical it is. Funny, that PP changed both th...
A very wise choice indeed
This is a far better machine, and a true masterpiece of horological art. Have you considered the PT DatoPerpetual? I only wish they made a grey or black dial for the platinum case... Both versions, PT and WG, that exist at the moment, are superb. Huge con...
Impressive!
And I tend to agree, swapping 2 for 1 or even 3 for 1 is worthwhile if the end result is an amazing piece that you wear! Congratulations on your new watch. Truly stunning. OpC
Well, I slightly differ, here.
But I am a big fan of the Langematik Perpetual and of the Datograph, which explains why I differ. In my opinion, nothing can't beat these 2 pieces, which I much prefer than the " two in one " offered by the Lange Perpetual. I have a very strong weakness f...
What a superb wrist shot.
It's indeed a stupendous looking watch. Congrats to the OP.

Power Reserve and Legibility--another watch to consider
Hi Francois: Actually the power reserve is not an issue for me. This is because re-setting is so easy if the watch runs down. Just one push to advance everything by one day, so if stopped for 30 days it will be reset in but a few seconds. I have more diff...
Stunning, Jeff!
That is one gorgeous piece! Can't wait to see it in person. And, if you were able to swap two pieces you never wore, all the better! Great to see you posting here more regularly -- a real benefit to the community. Best, Gary
