A. Lange & Söhne

A new Lange or ... => I had a call from my dealer...

 

(PP, Lange, Breguet, IWC, BP, ...) and he told me that he was immediately thinking of me when he saw the new Breguet Tradition the other week.

They (dealer) ordered one Tradition, and I politely asked him to 'hold on to it' at least until I had got a chance to look at it

Oh boy.

What do you, the Lange addicts prefer:

Lange-1 Moonphase in RG
Langematik Anniversarry in PT
Breguet Tradition in YG

Or perhaps the new FP Journe Chronom?tre Souverain in RG or PT ?

All 4 very different animals, yes, but there is something in them all I like. I prefer manual winds, but the Langematik has such a nice engraved bi-metalic rotor... And the enamel dial is stunning. The Zero-reset function is nice although not absolutely a must on a hacking movement. And, although not THAT important to me, it is a LE.
I prefer white metals in general, but think that I am ready (and finally brave enough) for a RG watch to become a member of my small watch family, hence the RG Lange-1 which I think is very very beautiful.
The Journe is manual, has a fantastic a-symmetrical dial and a magic view at the back but I hate those crowns mister Journe uses. Please dont be offended since it is just my oppinion but ugly is the only qualification I have for it.

And now there is Breguet with the Tradition! I like its historic, but also 'daring' and new, design, but I am not sure about myself wearing a YG watch... but that darn thing has me thinking about it day and night.
I have to admit that I have printed it on A3 size paper (on a HP Color Laserjet 5500 btw, very nice and fast printer) and that it is taped to my study's door. OK OK, and I have another print (A4) glued to the side of my (new) computer (which, btw, is giving me headaches)

Any input highly appreciated (re the watches, the computer I'll manage).
