As my AD is 80 miles away, I currently can´t test the look and feel with regard to the different weights. Reading your posts I "see" that the weight is not to underestimated. I saw that PT has a specific weight of 20, RG of 15 which is quit a big difference. My RG Timezone has a weight of 140 g which is okay for me to wear. Does anyone know the weight of the PT version?
From an optical pov the PT makes not such a "noise" because it is only black and white. As colored Gold is in my eyes more for elegant watches, RG is not my first choice for the Datograph. Looking at the second hand and auctions prices the RG with black dial is sometimes quiet expensive as offered PT Datos. In all the years I hoped that Lange will bring the Dato in WG with grey dial but still no plan to do this.
Cheers, Mike

Which one should I buy and why?

Hello guys, my AD offert me 2 NOS datographs. Number one is the reference 403.035, the platinium version, and the second is the pink gold version with black dial, the so called Dufourograph, reference 403.031, which was only producd a few years. Both are ...
I hope you like to feel the weight of your watches

because both are heavy especially the platinum model. You may not notice it when trying it at your AD but try putting it on 8 hours daily, and you might understand my qualm with the datograph.
My vote would be for the pink gold/black dial

Personally, I like the look of pink gold with the black dial. I would of course take either if I could afford it. Let us know which one you choose and post some wrist shots!
Platinum

I don't think yg is very wearable. It can't be dressed down nearly as easily as something like platinum/wg/ss

Just to keep you informed...

..today my AD told me, that in the meanwhile he has sold both watches to another collector. Since both watches would only have been a compromise anyway, (PT probably too heavy, PG too colored) it is not a problem for me. Thanks to all of you for your thou...
Thanks for posting the follow-up...

If you revisit these models later, please do reconsider the platinum. Many, many people actually prefer the weight and don't find it uncomfortable at all. You may find that after 2 minutes on your wrist, you don't notice the weight. Best of luck when you ...
Yes, so it was told to me by my AD

He first buyed the Dufourograph and hours later he called my AD and told him, that he also takes the PT. A lucky guy. Cheers, Mike
