Dilemma ...
Dear all forum participants:
I will have a chance to purchase a Lange Dato RG/Black Dial or a PP 5110p at a nice price. I can't buy both because I can't afford both at the same time. I like the Dato because it is an icon from the House of A Lange. I also like the RG/Black Dial combo because it is rarer. I havent' seen one in flesh but I will get a chance to try it on before I decide. I like the 5110p because it is a watch that I can use when I travel around the globe. My work brings me to Europe, Asia, and across the US. It is also the most powerful world timer in the market. I prefer the platinum version because it is a white metal watch with a blue center dial (looks pretty and better than the WG, which to me is too bland). I will also have a chance to try it on before I buy. Right now, I am torn between the 2.
I want to hear your thoughts. I know I am the one who will ultmately make the decision but I still want to hear others think.
BTW, can anyone educate me why there is a premium of the 5130p over the 5110p? They are essentially the same watch. Thanks.

Very difficult question.

First, but you already know it, both are great watch. I would suggest to choose: the fav complication (chronograph or WT ?) the size (37 or 39) the type of caliber (hw or automatic). Make your choice with the use of the watch you think you will get. About...

I meant why the 5130p is more expensive than the 5110p even though they are essentially the same with minor design differences. Do the design differences justify the price differences? Or is it something else? Thanks.
Finally, It's a very simple question... Is not about the complication, the size, even

the price, It's about love at first sight, and for my taste, Datograph is a must have. You don't buy a good product, you buy a madness. If you travel often, it's obvious that you need a world time... Because a Chronograph, except you cook pasta, is not ve...

I'm after the 5110P personally, it is one of my favorite watches and I am so enamored with this watch that was originally started by Louis Cottier. The Lange & Soehne Datograph is a great choice as well, but there's something world-wide amazing about ...
