Only limited budget to choose from DS PT, or a RL PLM RG. What will be your decision?

I love mine ....

They are very different watches and the RL is more comfortable than the DS due to its more reasonable case.

The DS weights a lot, has a large case (43mm) but what a watch, what a movement!

If you wish to have an ultimate 3 hands watch which is at the same time very erlegant, go to the RL PLM and take advantage of its enamel dial.

If you wish to enjoy a fantastic movement with a powerful case, go to the DS.

But try them before if you are able to do it.

Keep us informed!

I love my DS PT

But as you said the version that you can get is the RG, and that is a no no for me.

Given your choice i would take the DS, but movement for movement, as i emphasize on accurate time measurement, the RL PLM is the one to go for!

While i dont have the RG version, here's a shot of mine to maybe convince you a little bit more towards the RL PLM

I recently saw a RL PLM RG in an AD's shop window. I couldn't help but stop to admire its beauty and elegant stature.

If I posed a hypothetical question to myself: would I swap it for my DS PT? The answer would be: probably not.

However, if it was in Pt. -------------- in a flash.

I was given a similar choice, twice!! ZW Handwhateverxxxxx versus PLM RL and DS versus PLM RL...I choose the ZW Handwhateverxxxx and the DS, never regretted it, and never will. IMHO, there are better PLMs for you to choose from...that addas another dimension to the thought process.

Hello there!

Nice to hear that you are in the position to choose between these two Langes.

To answer your questions:

The DS is muuuuch, much more complex than the PLM.

The PLM has technically speaking no complication as it shows only time and second.

So, that is one reason to get the DS.

However, if you want something discreet (if 41 mm can be), something with the charm of days gone by, something beautiful simply saying: it would be the PLM.

As you are already mentioning: the symbiosis of both watches is the T-PLM as it comes with the complication of a tourbillion.

But: for the T-PLM you can get almost both, the DS and the PLM, which makes it a quite "tough" decision.

 

My advise: if you want to stick to your budget get the DS.

It has got a UNIQUE complication no one else is able to offer.

If you want to push yourself hard: the T-PLM.

 

So, count your money and let us know what you went for, please.

 

Best

Moritz
