If only I actually liked the Lange 1...
I think the date on the Breguet is a crime. But I also think the execution of the big date on the L1 is a crime; it is stepped instead of uniform. GO does not have this problem. I also never liked the way the seconds subdials cuts off the hours/minutes one, nor the placement of Doppelfederhaus and Made in Germany. I think for me it is the Breguet, but only narrowly. The L1 has the better-looking movement unobstructed by a rotor, and has more colour. But in the overall sense of actually wearing and trying to enjoy a watch, I think the Breguet would do it for me.
Of course, the best Lange ever produced, in my opinion, is the Saxonia Thin with aventurine dial. It so happens it exists in blue and black. Now that's a winner.

In my younger years I would go with Lange any day, however at this point I value an enamel dial and simple three hands more.
Dates never bothered me, specially if it’s tone on tone as it is here…
Without the date
the Breguet would have been the perfect time only watch. I am surprised after all these years of criticism of the date on the 5177 that Breguet has chosen to keep the date on this watch. I don't like dates on watch including the big date on the Lange 1 bu...

The 5177 for me.
Although I actually prefer the blue dial / white gold version. The date doesn’t really bother me, though I can understand why people would prefer the balance of a non date version like the Ginza limited edition. But as far as dates are concerned, I find t...
Lange all day
More versatile, and the date window in the breguet ruins it whereas in the lange it enhances.
