Progress?

Nicolas,

Thanks for the insight. The Dato is also what got me interested in Lange in the first place as well.

But just trying to put things in perspective, and to verify my theory that if I get the LP now, I can choose Dato or DS down the road. So I went to my AD again and have LP, DatoPerp and DS laid in front of me. A glance at the DS, the movement clearly is in a class of it's own. Dato(Perp) is not in that class, but the DS is practically unwearable for me, due to size. And the dial of the DS is, um, not what the watch deserves, IMHO. The architectural feel of the DS movement, intricate and awe-inspiring as it is, seems a tad too architectural to me..... but I digressed.

So, my gut feeling is that, the LP, as far as PC goes, is at the very highest level. Pretty, practical, wearable, supremely well made, but not as much fun as a chrono. The Dato movement, and the iconic dial, fun and austere at the same time, totally classic, but the movement is not the best Lange has to offer now. The DatoPerp though, is just not very convincing in this company.....

Alas, I haven't made much progress, have I

I still have 2 more days to decide..... why is this soooo hard
