Of the three, Breguet definitely. The perfect proportions of the watch, a brilliant dial, I do not see any flaws in it apart from the price ;)
This Lange is minimally thick for a suit watch. Casual - by all means, but I see Breguet with a suit. Blancpain is too big ...

Price +- same, Breguet comfortable to wear?
Lange - what do You mean thick? They are about 9,5 mm, Breguet 8,7 mm so +- same
Blancpain - big You mean that they are 40 mm? They have 100 hours power vs 40 Breguet.

40mm is a lot for a thoroughbred suit. My Lange is 39mm and 8.7mm thick and in my opinion it could be 1mm thinner. For a suit strictly, I use Montblanc which is 38mm and under 6mm thick. My wrist mues 18.5 cm.

Oh and one more thing, there should be a bright shield!

Lange out of them for daily suit
It is the most balanced one
BP green will not work in every day use
BG is too dressy

Thanks! And if BP with white dial?

I prefer the Lange based on appearance and brand quality.

JR16 · 8 January 2021, 10:48 PM

For me it would be Lange without question- great proportions, top notch finishing , classic aesthetic . I’ve always admired the breguet classique but the straight lugs kill it for me- not comfortable at all on my wrist. Felt awkward. The Blancpain is ok, just not excited by the dial and those Romans.

Lange often leaves me cold. Breguets are charming and I always smile when I look down at one on my wrist. That feeling is ultimately the most important factor in buying a watch.

_speedmaster_ · 9 January 2021, 12:57 AM

Of the three models posted, my vote is the Lange saxonia date; the 5177 in the link is too ornate for my taste and I’m not a huge fan of the date placement. If I could substitute with the 7787 or 7147 with grand feu dial, then Breguet over the Saxonia by a wide margin.

I will agree with Kunlun too, Breguet watches put a smile on your face.

Justindo · 9 January 2021, 12:28 PM

I voted for the Lange without hesitation. The quality among the three is, by far, the best, and I like the looks of it among the three the best too.

GB-man · 9 January 2021, 12:58 PM

Of the three I prefer the Lange as I’m just not fond of the blancpain and the Breguet while very nice is killing me with that date window.

With that said in this category I really like something with a bit more warmth and character like a Journe CS or Vacheron 1921.

For a more straightforward option a patrimony traditional small seconds.

gnuyork · 9 January 2021, 02:31 PM

Of those three choice, I vote Breguet. I feel it's the most classic looking of the choices. I like Lange, but not the big date. I wish the Breguet didn't have the date at all, but it's not terrible.

The Blancpain is interesting, but 40mm is too large (for the style) for me.

jed11 · 9 January 2021, 08:11 PM

Lange...because...well, it’s a Lange.

I've always like the Lange better than the other brands but looking at the photos the Breguet dial is stunning. Tough choice but I will have to select the Breguet.

liu_watch · 11 January 2021, 05:59 AM

Breguet for the look. Lange for the overall package; so voted for Lange.

Für mich ist Breguet der Sieger.

Yobrooks · 12 June 2023, 07:14 AM

Love the Blancpain but that tiny date window- uggh. I'd have to go Lange.
