Think of reversibility, stress test your unvoiced choice and follow your heart

Congrats on the dilemma as it is a nice problem to have; all are nice watches in their own right.
Trying to put myself in your shoes, herewith some thoughts I have sometimes been through of late:
(1) is the choice reversible or irreversible: buying another PP5130G-1 will likely be doable, finding another similar VC not. It is not to say that you should take the VC, but rather that by not taking it, it’s a irreversible choice (similar to selling a Nautilus now)
(2) I like the idea of throwing a coin mentioned above. I do something similar which I call stress testing my unvoiced choice: i speak about my dilemma with a friend or my wife; they propose something (say take the Patek), and at that moment I realize that actually when somebody else says it, I’m either relieved or start arguing against it. And then I know more what my unformulated deep opinion is.
(3) follow your heart - at the end, this hobby is less rational than emotional. There are no bad choice!
Finally, my personal take is as follow:
I like more and more VC as brand but somehow find this WT dial busy. I like the brand of Lange and Patek equally, for their respective différence. Would tend un this case for the Lange because of the option value towards Odysseus …
Or was it the VC … or the PP? All good choice as I said. Good luck and let us know what you decide!
