Hey folks!

Between the Lange 1815(sub dial at 6 o'clock position model) and Patek Aquanaut, which would you choose?

1815 no doubt

[GadgetGuy]

Personal choice. Prefer some models of Lange or PP, but for the 2 you listed, would go for Aquanaut.

[Explorer8813]

My choice is Lange

[satch]

Both are different beasts... why not consider pp calatrava?

[turboducky]

I have always a soft spot for Lange cos it's not mainstream like PP or AP. And most Ah Bengs dont know this brand!

[ac_wong75]

Personal choice will be the PP 5167A as I like watches which has more versatility. ( ie sports and dress watch type)

[Xenon2]

between this two, will have to be the Lange.

[stektan]

Lange 1815 more dressy, aquanaut more sporty. I would go for 1815

Totally agreed, especially the last part of your quote ................

As for me, Lange isn't a watch, it's a piece of art.

wristshots to help u decide too......

If u have not owned a Patek yet, maybe u should get it first...
but definitely the 1815 has more of the "classic" gentlemen's watch feel as compared to the Aquanaut.

[Christo]

Both swee... But i will go for the Patek first then the Art piece...

Swiss vs German !
Sports vs Dress !
18k solid white surgical steel vs 18k solid precious metal !
Auto vs handwind !
Not a fair comparison at all !

Thanks folks,

I am only looking at watches with arabic numerals so the Calatrava is out. Reason why I like the 1815 is because the dial has more details than conventional dress watches. That to me, looks more sporty than dress. Have not seen it in person though. At the moment, it seems like the Aquanaut suits my life style better.

Haha yes, Lange is really a work of art n it's not the best known but known by the best.
