This was not an easy decision
By: ianny : December 27th, 2012-09:06
It was between these two: Being a fan of Lange, I was naturally leaning towards the Lange. It came down to the wire.... And in the end, I picked the Patek 5205. Second Patek in a space of two months... May be I am a closet Patek fan? Regards, iAn ...
I am a big fan of both.

But I would have chosen the same thing. Wear it healthy! R
Thanks Radone

Messed up with the pics earlier. Managed to upload them now. Regards, iAn
And Nico.

But we love you too much to wanna kill you though. Regards, iAn
You made the right choice...

Even if I'm a Lange lover (and I'm not a Patek addict), I finally chose the 5205... BUT I much prefer the black version! ;) Fx ...
It takes a tough man to make a tough decision!
By: Zhege : December 27th, 2012-11:22
Your 5205 is beautiful. I think the outstanding difference between the two is the case design - the Patek has just a gracefully flowing design, while the Lange seems a bit too stiff. Enjoy the watch, and let's see if the new PP a month trend continues for...
Thanks Zhege

Both dials spoke to me. But when placed side by side, the 5205 has something about it that I can't explain in words. "X" factor? Regards, iAn
Congrats!
By: mauiguy : December 27th, 2012-11:56
That's one extraordinarily sexy timepiece! Wear it in great health!
iAn, what was the final deciding factor for you?
By: Topcat30093 : December 27th, 2012-13:29
Like Nicholas mentioned, though I very much respect Lange & Sohne pieces, their AC was never one of my favourites. You have made, imo, totally the right choice. And soon my 5205, will be haring the same coloured dial. :) Regards Tony
A few things...
By: ianny : December 28th, 2012-20:16
1. A wise collector with a collection so huge he can't remember what he had bought told me that if I wanted an Annual Cal., go for the PP 5205 as it is the best of the lot. 2. Patek came out with the first Annual Cal. 3. A Patek would enhance my collectio...
new dial ?
By: cmclee : December 29th, 2012-02:01
Hey Tony, let me know once you get yours and share your experience please. Looking forward to it man !
very nice!!!

congrats!!
Well, I would say you are definitely...
By: AndrewD : December 27th, 2012-13:52
.... out of the closet, iAN. Great choice. The calendar display on the PP 5205 is just perfect - exactly how I read off dates, and much easier than the little pointy things on the Lange. And that concave bezel on the Patek is sublime, along with the moder...
Great Choice
By: Threpeater : December 27th, 2012-14:40
You made the right choice!
Congrats iAn!
By: fernando : December 27th, 2012-17:59
A good choice. I would have done the same! :) cheers fernando
Its gorgeous
By: daytonaman799 : December 27th, 2012-19:23
i love both your choices they are amazing. Thats a great two months. Enjoy them both and well!
Good choice
By: Ed. W : December 27th, 2012-21:55
I love the simple aperture calendar display. Congratulations
Congrats and welcome to the 5205 club!
By: Greenwatch : December 28th, 2012-05:29
The silvery grey dial is perfect IMHO for a dress watch. We travelled the same path - an AC and a Nauti. On your third month, do I sense an Aquanuat 5164 or 5167? :D Happy holidays !
Haha thanks, and glad to join the club
By: ianny : December 28th, 2012-20:28
I will admit that a 5167 sounds tempting. But my wallet is in dire need of refilling. Have a great New Year! Regards, iAn
Congrats on your lovely new PP AC!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 28th, 2012-20:54
Congrats Ianny! You made a great choice. The Lange AC is also beautiful esp the moonphase but like you, I also think PP ACs are more special. Have a blessed new year! Robin
Hey Robin
By: ianny : December 28th, 2012-21:23
How are you? Enjoying your horological journey? You have a great New Year too. Regards, iAn
good choice
By: cmclee : December 29th, 2012-02:04
I have not seen the Lange AC in person but imho, the face is not as appealing as Patek. I think the marketing for Lange was very good stressing on craftsmanship and engineering precision, but I somehow felt Lange pieces generally leaves me a bit cold. Any...
Wise choice excellent watches.
By: Grisar : December 30th, 2012-05:40
Congratulations on your two really attractive and elegant watches. I have been always asking my friends to slow down purchase pace when they are buying too quickly. For your two Pateks, I have nothing to say, they are excellent choices. Regarding the annu...
Thanks for the nice comments, Grisar.
By: ianny : December 31st, 2012-05:07
Well, I would definitely need to slow down for a bit after the shopping spree this year. Best wishes for the New Year. Regards, iAn
I agree - great decision!
By: mauiguy : January 2nd, 2013-09:50
The 5205 is a watch design that has really grown on me in recent weeks after seeing so many great pictures of it online posted by so many satisfied owners. Congratulations and Happy New Year!
Everybody can take ...

easy decisions, but you took a very good one. Love it! Oliver
