Which one do you think?

Very simple poll - which do you prefer, the glorious ROO Platinum Tourbillon Chrono or the equally glorious Datograph Perpetual Tourbillon??

Dato but if memory serves me correctly you've owned one of the versions of the Lange but not a PT turb AP.

I love the datograph, hopefully the up/down model will be my next watch. Although I love AP I've never really liked this version with the open dial.

I'd go for the ROO just because the calendar function on the lange seems obsolete with that small font. Other than that they are both amazing timepieces.

I am usually pro-AP but in this case, the Lange.

You can get wrist hernia wearing that AP which weights a ton.

As much as I love AP, nothing will ever be more perfect than a Dato.

Have to go for ROO even though ambivalent to both. ALS subdials impossible to read

Your last ALS didn't last long (as I recall) and you have plenty of round dress watches currently.

Need more sports watches in the rotation, huge thumbs up for AP Tourb.

Out of the two I'd get the AP. Like Karl said the font on the Lange is so small and the dial is a bit busy for me. I prefer your Pateks and RMs to both of these so I could not see either piece getting much wrist time with the beauties you already have.

i am a fan of both brands.. Own two AP and one ALS. I also like both choices here but I voted for the ALS. I just think this is such a spectacular piece with all those functions. However with middle aged eyes-- I am not sure I could read the dial well enough. I love the way the PR indicator is set off to the side.. I think both are great choices but still slight slight edge to the ALS.

The AP is awesome, saw it in Paris, but they told me they were very hard to sell as they weigh a ton, but it is stunning, and I don't care for tourbillons, but the Lange is also amazing... so both

Yup I prefer the basic Dato and AP 44, but if pressed I'd take the AP.

I voted for the AP...
for symmetry and esthetic design the
Lange hands down ... but for variety
if that's what you are leaning towards then
the AP...
