Good problem to have! :)
I love Langes and am a fan of the brand.
On the contrary, to be completely honest, I am not a fan of Zenith but that's mostly because I am not familiar with the brand.
However, for Langes, the Zeitwerk is the least appealing to me from a looks standpoint. I appreciate its innovative functions but not its looks. I know of many Lange friends who love it but not me.
the Zenith you are considering is a beautiful piece of traditional haute horology on the other hand. I saw it once in the Singapore boutique and it's lovely to admire.
I will pick the Zenith between the 2 
and this is coming from a Lange lover!

This or That ?

Using a very strict definition, a complication is a mechanism which is added to the base timekeeping mechanism, but has nothing to with it or its performance per se. In this sense, the constant force mechanism of the Zenith Academy George Favre Jacot is n...
I've seen the Zenith here in Hong Kong...

Now that is a tough one....
They are 2 totally different watches and to be honest I have for a long time been a fan of the Zeitwerk and recently of the Zeitwerk Striking.... BUT.... If I had to chose just one which would it be... Why? I love the fusee, the multi depth dial, stunning...
If I were in your position.... (which I am NOT!)....
.. I would go for Zenith. I used to like Lange watches, but Zeitwerk is not what Lange is about, IMVHO. From that point on, Lange has changed to the worse, again, IMHO. Zeitwerk specifically, looks like a toy. A very heavy and thick toy on your wrist. I a...

For me the choice is very clear
I agree with the comments above. I think that Zenith has significantly upped thier game with the Academy line of watches. I have seen the George Favre Jacot and am very taken by it. The fusee chain is fascinating and carries with it a historically signifi...
