Purchasing Quizz

Calling all purist, please help me solve this quiz of mine regarding which to choose among these 3 watch brand and model. I will state all the advantages (according to me) of all the choices and those advantages are features which is not available on my current collection. I have no tendancy to any of the three and have no regards on the resell value whatsoever. All the advantages are purely objective and I am willing to listen to new advantages but not on financial perpectives. These 3 items are all about the same range of price which means chosing either one of them has made no difference on my financial outcome.

1. BREQUET Marine Tourbilon--Tourbilon movement, manual wind, silicon balance spring, standard rubber strap

2. LANGE & SOHNE Double Split-- Double split chrono, manual wind, platinum, German Made

3. ULYSSE NARDIN Sonata Silicium-- Limited to 300 pc, alarm

Please answer this quiz of mine.

Either No. 1 or 2

I checked out the Breguet Marine Tourbillon in the metal a couple of weeks ago. It is a sharp looking watch. The Lange Double Split is a benchmark, superlative watch . . . generally regarded as one of the two or three finest chronos made today. That is a ...

I have none of them..

Neither I have Tourbillon nor Double Split. I dont mind of the thickness at all.

What are your thoughts on thickness/weight

By: aaronm : September 30th, 2009-11:52

My one comment is that the Lange is pretty massive and quite heavy... just something to consider a

Double Split!

If you don't mind the thickness of the Lange, you should definitely go for the Double Split. I think Breguet makes great tourbillon watches. However, I am not sure I would like a tourbillon movement in the Marine watch. A more traditional Breguet tourbill...

on which to buy but the 1st choice is out as you would be buying a toubillon from the house of Breguet, the house of tourbillons of which this would not be its best representative. Its a tossup between the Lange DS and the UN Sonata Silicium. Having seen ...

Easy for me....

Sonata it has to be, here are the reasons:I don t like the Breguet even in metal so the choice would be between the DS and the UN.I ve seen them both in metal so I can have an impartial judgement:the DS is a marvel of a watch,no doubt about it,it's the ul...

hi Sonny being a big fan of Geman watches and LS in particular and actually favorising Pt as metal (So was my wedding ring as well) I would actually go for the: ULYSSE NARDIN Sonata Silicium, because: 1 It is limited 2 It is limited, and might be difficul...

Make the choice of the originality

Choose the U.N Sonata! No matter of LE Silicium or not, the Sonata is a wonderful watch, the meeting of Poetry and Horology. Plus, it is a friendly watch for the traveller, with its Alarm and its GMT which can be set foraward or backward, coupled to the D...

It's an easy question for me...

By: dxboon : October 2nd, 2009-01:09

...because one of the watches on this list, the Sonata, is my favorite model from Ulysse Nardin. I like the watch aesthetically, because of the unique dial and beautiful hands. Add to that a GMT function, alarm, and big date, and I'm in heaven! I'm a huge...
