This might be the ticket
I could afford both, but I'm not convinced I'd wear both. I think I'll start with the Dato at a price I can flip without getting killed, then decide later to add or substitute the AC.
Now to decide platinum or rose gold Dato. Leaning toward the RG with black dial...

Datograph or 1815 Annual Calendar
This should be an easy decision, do I want a chrono or do I want an AC? Never the less, I find myself waffling. I like the big date and overall aesthetics of the Dato. The movement is iconic and gorgeous. It is "the" ALS watch. But I have zero use for a c...
If finally capable, I would buy both. Their styles are quite different and I am very sure you will enjoy both very much.
If really have to pick one, I will choose the datograph. It is just the beauty of the beauty. Having said, always get one you like most.
buy what you like dude :-)
I too was swayed in the early days on what's iconic. So I ended up buying the Lange 1 and Dato, all iconic pieces. But I felt I missed out on pieces that I really liked too.
I had the original dato.
i did nit like the top heaviness of it and traded for a grand Lange 1 moonphase. I love the watch. Go with what your hear likes.
I have the same thoughts..
despite the more intricate movement, the chrono function is pretty moot to me.. I guess I prefer the complication to be more practical and function, something that I would actually use.. having said that, the key is still the dial side ie how you find the...
Easy choice!
I noticed that you mentioned that the annual calendar is a more comfortable wearing watch. This is obviously important to you as it is to me. The annual calendar is not only thinner but also a lot lighter than the datograph. This you will appreciate after...
If you're mind is not made up and you like both
and you can't afford both, the perfect strategy is to get the one that hurts less at the time of buyer's remorse. Then you'll have more to spend on your true love. This, gents, is not a good strategy with women. It only works with watches. Or you can take...
You answered alone to your question. Your heart talked so you don't need our thoughts. Just follow your heart and you will be really happy soon 😉
Of course, we want to see few pictures 😊 Best wishes Alkiro
Agree
With all who have said to follow your heart. It's a cliche, but it's true, and often has to be experienced once before learning. I too followed the temptation to chase the icons, getting a Lange 1 mp and a first generation Datograph. I eventually sold bot...
Easy choice if I were in your shoes...
- "I have zero use for a chronograph" : I don't say, YOU say it ! You already have a part of your answer... - When I hear you qualify the 1815 AC, I hear only positive points : beautiful, useful, awesome mechanism of date setting, comfortable and there is...
Really easy choice for me.
I'll go for Datograph any way, although the 1815 AC is nice too. Yesterday I put on AC, I'd say it's a nice watch to have. ...
You already made your choice..
But mine would be the Datograph because... well, you know the reasons. Be sure that you can't be wrong with the 1815 AC. It is a gorgeous piece. Fx
Not an easy decision at all! Two thoughts...
(1) Both the Dato and the 1815 AC have features with no practical utility for many of us. As you said about the Dato, "I have zero use for a chronograph." Presumably you'd also have little or no use for the moonphase and month features of the AC. If you f...

Both are good choices and can't go wrong with either.
Buy whatever speaks to you. It's definitely Dato for me though. The front and back bring big smiles on my face each time I see them.
I would go with the Datograph
Though I have to admit, in general I think an annual calendar is more useful than a chronograph. The Datograph, especially in rose gold with a black dial, have such an amazing look. And the 1815 Calendar doesn't grab me. It sacrifices the big date functio...
