The Dato size...
would be my only concern. It's a bit small for my taste. I'm hoping a larger Dato comes out.
What to buy???
Hello everyone. I am hoping some of may be able to help me decide. I am currently a proud owner of a Lange MP PT. I also have a Patek 5146P that does not get much wrist time. I am in the market for either the Datograph PT or the double spit. Unfortunately...
It is always hard (for me) to separate ...
with a watch. Keep the PP and go for one of the most interesting watches - the Datograph. I am also a big fan of the Doublesplitt, especially the movement, but in your position I would go for the Dato. Maybe a Doublesplitt comes next .... LOL Cheers olive...

If usefulness of complications are a criteria ...
then I pity the watch manufacturers! I cant see much use, in daily life, for a Minute Repeater, a carillion, sonnerie (grand nor petite) or a tourbillon. Perpetuals? Who needs them; I can remember the current month and know the numbers of days in it. Foud...
Disappointed to have to defend my opinion Edwin
Edwin, My apologies if my comments on the DS offended your sensibilities. I agree with much of what you said (happen to think a tourbillion is an example of a useless complication that is gorgeous to watch, and therefore worth purchasing as a complication...
You dont have to defend your opinion Adam ...
But you wrote ""Keep the Patek and don't buy the DS. I had one and was lucky to sell it at not too bad a loss.. The complication is useless and it's too easy a watch to ding and cut $20K in value. Keep the Patek. Two things arent true JUST for a Lange wat...
