Thanks to all

for your informative and helpful comments.  I went back to the Journe shop here in Paris today to take a second look at the CS, then on the way back home stopped by another jeweller's to look at the Lange.  Increasingly I'm tending toward the CS, in its 38mm version.  It sits really well on my wrist, and is very, very appealing.  The Lange is a magnificent watch too, but just a little too bulky for my taste.  As for the Patek, the model that I really liked initially was the clous-de-Paris Calatrava with plain white dial face and Roman numerals.  The problem was the small size, it looked a bit too fey when I tried it on, so I ruled it out in favour of the 5130, the only other Patek watch in my price range that I found pleasing (that statement probably betrays crass ignorance on my part).  But the more I think about it, the more I realise that my preference is for simple, uncluttered designs.  Anyway, as soon as I've come to a decision you'll be the first to know.  Thanks again,
