The fascinating part of it is not the comparison between the 3 chronographs, IMO, but the brief history about the high end brands and their view on the way to make watches, that you could find the same base caliber in a 1500$ Speedster as in a high end Patek, of course the movement of the two after being redesigned and decorated had nothing in common.

So maybe Patek doesn't have the same finishing it once had, personally I have no idea, as I never looked at a 20 year old Patek movement under times 4 magnification, and at a modern movement of the same complications and price.

Many want in-house movements over outsourced, but the models going for the highest prices at auction, whether Patek or Panerai, were outsourced...

Anyways hope you find the article interesting...

That 5170G is drop dead gorgeous and thinner which is a huge attraction to me versus the hockey puck with the useful extra complications (date / PR) and beautiful reverse. Easy solution is to by both

I think the easiest to wear is by far the Patek, like is said in the article, if you buy the Lange it's because of the movement
