Advice Needed

[rw2008]

Hi everyone,

First of all that's for reading and also thanks for being part of the community. I've only been into watches for a year or so and this place has been a great help in educating me.

Basically, what should I add next?

Current collection:

SD4000
BLNR
TT DJ 36 (grandfathers watch)
JLC MUT Moon (steel, silver dial, black strap)

Candidates:

DaytonaC White (16-18k)
Lange 1815 RG 40mm (15-20k)
WG DaytonaC Oysterflex (<23k)

The Lange is the only thing I've actually tried on (and I loved it). I'd love to hear other options as well. Didn't love the AP 15400 (white) when I tried it on, maybe I'd like the black or blue better. Not a YG guy unless it's a YG DD, but I feel like I'm too young for that. Grail is a 5712, but I want to fill out a "base" collection first that covers all the bases.

I think I would go for the Daytona 116500 LN 001 among these watches. A Lange Sohne is great but that watch isn't as special as Datograph or Double Split

I would go with the Daytona-C.

But how much over retail would you pay for it?

Wait to get the 116500 at retail price. IMO, a $5K premium to get it sooner from the secondary market is not worth it.

Daytona but not at that price, get on a list and be patient, not worth 16-18k IMHO, my wife has it, and for a few k more you get an AP 15202, which is a whole other level of horology IMO

I like that Lange, or the Lange 1 Moonphase as on Ansharma's superb thread here.
