Dilemma
Dear all forum participants:
I will have a chance to purchase a Lange Dato RG/Black Dial or a PP 5110p at a nice price. I can't buy both because I can't afford both at the same time. I like the Dato because it is an icon from the House of A Lange. I also like the RG/Black Dial combo because it is rarer. I havent' seen one in flesh but I will get a chance to try it on before I decide. I like the 5110p because it is a watch that I can use when I travel around the globe. My work brings me to Europe, Asia, and across the US. It is also the most powerful world timer in the market. I prefer the platinum version because it is a white metal watch with a blue center dial (looks pretty and better than the WG, which to me is too bland). I will also have a chance to try it on before I buy.
I want to hear your thoughts. I know I am the one who will ultmately make the decision but I still want to hear others think.
BTW, can anyone educate me why there is a premium of the 5130p over the 5110p? They are essentially the same watch. Thanks.

5110P
By: lobo : June 8th, 2010-17:45
5130P DOES NOT have a PREMIUM over 5110P. The only reason there is a different in price is because Patek increases their list price year on year (most years), and when they launched the 5130P after discontinuing the 5110P, the price increased, in line wit...
Thanks Lobo ...

I am not referring to the list. I am referring what is being sold in the market. One has to pay more for a pre-owned 5130p compared to a pre-owned 5110p. I do buy your logic about the list price increase if I am buying brand new from an AD and these ADs a...
Such different watches
By: efftee : June 8th, 2010-19:45
I don't think you are able to choose between them based on others' rationalization -- they are completely different timepieces. You'll probably have to stick them on your wrist and see which one is harder to remove. If it's any consolation, either would b...
Thanks amanico ...

I meant the 5130p commands a premium (more expensive) than the 5110p in the resale market and I can't understand why. They are essentially the same watch with some minor design differences like larger size, different hands, different dial design, etc. The...
5110 v 5130
By: lobo : June 10th, 2010-15:33
i understnd what you are saying now. However, if you think of the resale market, the 'premium' which the 5130 has over the 5110 is purely because the 5130 is a newer model, so, the 2nd hand market would make it seem it is more 'expensive'. But to think it...
