I'm considering swapping a couple of nice but rarely used watches in my collection for a Lange 1 moonphase PT. Only problem is that I've seen an Fp Journe Chronometre a Resonance in RG at roughly same money. Disregarding the economics of it, for the life ...

Thanks vandyke, that's good advice as well but in the end I decided to wait... The guy with the FPJ is struggling a bit to sell and the ALS had some nasty dents next to the crown which I'm not convinced could be repaired, So, I sold the two watches and de...
