advice needed - referenzuhr v db 15
am tossing up between a referenzuhr (pt) and a debethune db 15 - almost similar price points (at least frm the ADs i know) but am having difficulty making a decision as its like comparing apples to oranges. they each have their own positives and negatives. i already have 2 langes - a limited italian run grand lange 1 and the 1815 homage and i think a referennzuhr wld be a gd addition but dont really get the zero restart function in particular the practicality of it. on the other hand, db is firstly a brand which i am becoming more keen on day by day (but wld question the longetivity plus cohesiveness of the design of the various models) and the db 15 is one of the few perpetuals that i really like (other than the dato perpetual) and wld very much like to branch into perpetuals at this stage of my collecting life. would appreciate any thoughts/ advice as i'm sure many pple would have had the same dilemma before. cheers.

wonderful watch, the only problem for me is that it has no second hands. The Referenzuhr is my least favorite of the RL line, I do not like the subdial. So it would be a straightforward choice for me although I would prefer the Langematik Perpetual to bot...
DB15 for sure

Out of the 2 I would definitely get the DB15. I have the grey dial version and it's one of the prettiest QPs out there. The RefernzUhr is far from being my favourite Lange, and I'm a huge fan of Lange. However, perhaps double check your price points. I ha...
thanks

Thank you all for your kind replies. It gave me something to think about. Re price points - you are correct. the reason for the large discount on the DB is that its the older model (2004 as compared to the 2005), which was one of the negatives for me. As ...
