I hear you on the dato. I found that to be the issue with the gen 2.
As for the DB’s, the other lines wear broad, so I agree. But these DB25’s actually wear small (especially with the short lugs)
Let’s assume that you’d bought NVIDIA at $5, and it’s time to cash out…
what would you buy to reward yourself for “timing the market’? A. B. or C. My neighbor is in this predicament and, while I don’t envy him, I find myself in a debate about what one should choose. What would you go for, if you didn’t already have any of the...
Of these 3, the mighty Datograph is the easy winner for me.
If not 1 of these 3, then a Patek 5970.
Now now…let’s stick to the rules. 😆😆😆
But I could have guessed your choice before you even clicked on the thread 😆😆
Lol sorry.
B for me then Can’t go wrong with an icon. And what’s not to love with a manual wind chronograph with a sexy back? Best Gatsby
Well since I’m not following rules anyway…
I would also look at resonance platinum with salmon dial. Idk if it gets better than that…
😆😆😆.
At that price point, the world is your oyster….he’s trying to keep it “reasonable”
...or you were super smart... $1 BTC..... :)
If cashed out nowadays, here's my choice.
B, the Datograph.
This is a clear winner for me assuming all three are the same price. Market values don’t always have to make sense, be it watches or equities ! 😂
I know less than most when it comes to equities. And, like you, my acquisitions are largely emotion based.
Dato, huh? I’m actually surprised that you didn’t go DB
I think Fastwong’s point is a good one.
The DB is perhaps more celebratory, more of a splurge maybe. “Style wise”, the DB would actually be more to my liking, but it’s hard to ignore the Dato here. The CB I’m running out purely on the basis of the disconnect between intrinsic and market value. ...
C.
You dun even need to Nvidia as example. Just image you bought a RO or Nautilus ~20years ago where it still available in AD and you sell it now. You will reap how many time the original msrp even though the recent msrp is more than double compared to last ...
Investment perspective since yr thread started with shares. 😇
I hardly see Lange in auction news but FPJ is the darling in recent years.😅
The DB if you can get it new, custom ordered with the star pattern of your choice. If not, then the datograph.
I like the CB too, but I'm generally unwilling to accept huge premiums for hot pieces. It would be my choice of the three if you could get it at retail, though I'm assuming that's not an option.
DB25 starry varius’ are now order able with star pattern of one's choice (small premium for the latter) direct from DB.
The fact that Dato can be had at a discount (compared to retail) while the CB commands a huge premium…will affect some people’s decision making and not affect others. 🤷🏾♂️ Thanks for voting
The DB
Although, if it was me, I would be looking at the Invention Piece 1 by Greubel greubelforsey.com
I believe that the cap is 90k USD, so he can re-invest the larger part of the returns.
Personally, I’m a Ferdinand Berthoudt and GF fan
I’d go with the Dato here.
For the CB you need to pay more than the MSRP but who knows what will happen in 10 years. It’s already in too high a price and people might find a new darling and forget about this one, financially speaking doesn’t make sense to me, and as a watch Dato is...
I have one and siblings of the other two.
If I had to choose only one I’d go for the Datograph. These days everyone want to talk about icons - but the term should really be reserved for those pieces that deserve it - and the 1st generation Datograph certainly does. I ...
Something other than those two.
I’ve owned the Dato and ultimately I found I didn’t like its height. And DeBethunes are just too big for my liking. Size does matter. In different ways 😎
I hear you on the dato. I found that to be the issue with the gen 2.

Cant go wrong with any of them. All gorgeous watches.
My choice would be the FPJ or DB 🤔
I like the dato but from this lineup the ALS is my least favorite tbh .
Like you said its a bigger and bulkier watch on the wrist . On the other hand That movement is incredible
It wasn’t long ago that one has to sleep with the DB distributors to get ANY piece
. Fortunately, those days are behind us
Great responses and reasons.
Not an easy choice between the De Bethune and the Dato. I dislike the CB reflections, which is the only reason I wouldn't pick the Journe. In the spirit of NVIDIA, I asked our resident AI sandbox. The initial response was funny because it was based entire...
