The struggle is real, ha!

I see the dilemma, they both have something in common that appeals to you. Neither move will disappoint. However, the Lange may offer more utility. Thrown on a canvas strap, the Lange can be quite dressed down. But that Concept is so cool.

I tempted for a trade - I know this is an AP group...but it’s a triple split chrono...

I have a interesting choice ... I’m moving away from AP after 10 years and looking to move from my AP concept to a Lange triple.. help please... at 45 the concept seems to pretentious and immature to me now... ??? ...  

That is a great dilemma to have my friend! One which is also subjective based on personal preference...

These are two amazing pieces. For me I would pick/choose the Lange based on my preference for such peice over the AP.

The Concepts look huge on most wrists.

Love or hate the new Black Panther, it is a beautiful 42mm Concept case in titanium. Obviously, more of these will come in other versions, and they will fit most people better. Yes, get out of AP and get the Lange. That is my advice to you.

Well, not sure about that, but I'm always objective.

In this case, per your question, and reading your recent feelings about this brand, I would jump. There is nothing wrong with that. Even if you don't trade or move into the AL&S (which BTW, hard to do better than the one you showed, amazing timepiece!), I... 

If I may add...

One watch collaboration does not take, at least in my view, the value away from a watch manufacturer. I more more bothered about limited editions that resurface (I have in mind a different brand) If we give it some time to let it sink in opinions would ev...

Mechanically, I would go Triple Split every time--a monument to watchmaking--but it's a massive, heavy watch.

At this price, try before you buy. The weight, rather than the size, might be the biggest difference in wearing comfort, and I suspect the difference is quite large. Cheers, John

Personally I would not do it...

However, there is no right or wrong. Listen to you4 heart. Just to add a point though. All watch collectors/maniacs have made our shares of mistakes trading watches that cannot be easily replaced. So do keep that in mind... Good luck

Polar opposite choices so depends completely on personal preference/priorities and lifestyle suitability.

I prioritize pieces that match my lifestyle, one of the reasons I'm so ecstatic with my new ROO 44. Perhaps the most satisfying, value for money piece I've owned. If the Lange resonates with you more than the AP I would not suggest it a poor choice. To do... 

Well said and

Both amazing watches

Thats a tough choice. One rare sports watch from AP and one elegant and rare ALS . 🤔.

Done
