Between the 3, I would opt for 4101, brilliant watch from an exotic company!

You're missing an IWC, IMO.

No wrong choice in any of those. The 1815 is a very elegant, but still young looking piece and the Daytona is a classic design. I'm a big fan of AP, but the 4104 is not my style. I prefer the Royal Oak look.

If I was spending your money I would go 1815 or Daytona. Which will you get more use from?

Great collection, btw.

I would probably go with the Lange 1815.

haha thanks for all the wonderful comments =) i really appreciate it!!i think at the moment the timepiece leading the race for that coveted 7th spot has got to be the 4101,with the 1815 coming in a close second..the dial on the 4101 is absolutely amazing thomas!haha but i was just wondering thomas, do u reckon the 4101's design would be a classic, timeless one?say in many many years down the road, would you still love the watch?haha!do you think the dial is something more of a novelty factor that would say,get boring,or worse, ugly, to the wearer?i really hope not, as i love the dial at the moment!just have this thought in my head, as the millenary design hasn't been that sought after since its creation..plus it the dial,shape etc is not 'classic' like the round case of the 1815!keep those opinions coming everyone! other watch suggestions are greatly welcome as well!=)

Very nice collection! But if you just buy one watch, your box will not be complete

Anyway, I would go with ALS. However I would consider the ALS Richard Lange instead of the 1815

Um, I think you're missing two because there is clearly room for eight watches in that box. I agree with Mosco though, you need an IWC for sure, my pops has four, you won't be unhappy.

I like the 4101. It is also a slightly different shape from the rest of your collection. If you want a classic design, can't go wrong with an AP RO or ROO.

Either the meteorite Daytona or the Lange, I think I prefer the Daytona though.

I'm also a big fan of Lange. I think the 1815 would fit nicely in your collection.

just an update guys!went back to the ad again this week, and again wasnt able to decide on a piece! to make matters worse, a somewhat uncommon piece came into the store: the RO 15305 skeleton! that skeleton movement is just captivating! i was able to get him to hold it for a week and managed to negotiate 25% off retail for that piece..should i pull the trigger guys?

If he is holding it for you, aren't you (morally) obligated to?

I'd vote for the Lange. The Millenary is nice but I would worry about wanting to flip it in the long run. I'd prefer a Royal Oak or Offshore.

Based on your sporty collection, I'd get the RO > Lange > 4101
