Horological Meandering

Let me confuse you a bit more

 

I'd suggest adding to the list:
Chopard XP, either the older model with 2 hands, or the newer with a subsecond dial. 
New JLC Ultra-thin (there's a larger manual wind and an auto)

If you're sticking to the original three...to me the design of the Lange is more 1890, to the VC's 1950 and the GO's entirely contemporary look.  They all have excellent, beautiful in-house movements, althought the Lange is manual-wind.  I think an important thing to consider is features and how often you intend to wear the watch.  The Lange has sweep-seconds, the VC as well, and the GO has none.  The VC is also the only of the three with a date.  If I were going to wear the watch frequently that might sway me away from the GO, I just really like having a second hand of some sort.  On the other hand, I find the date hole destracts from the purity of the dial, and the GO has the most pure dial.  The issue of how often you wear it might also have bearing on cost.  I'd guess the Lange to be the most expensive of the three, which might sway me away if I wasn't going to wear the watch that much...

So now I've been entirely unhelpful, but hopefully given at least a few points to consider
