List in Canada is $104,500 CAD while US list is $90,400 USD (about $113,400 CAD) if I'm not mistaken. Even the best AD price I could work out would still be almost 12K USD higher than 2nd hand.

I've debated long and hard between the Dato and 5170. I like the slimmer profile of the 5170 and the fact that well, it's a Patek - even though it seems to get killed on the secondary market. The Lange has much more that gets me excited - including the Big Date, the dial and the movement. The only con to the Datograph is it may be hard to move when I need to, though the 5170 isn't arguably easier to move.
Have you written this out before Tom? I feel a sense of deja vu. Anyway I would go for the Dato, its small size and thickness is my issue with it but think you will be alright unless you mean the Up/D. The Zeitwerk is more my speed now.
