Help me about ALS 219.032 and VC 82172/000R-9382

Hello Watch Lover.

I have planed to buy a simple dress watch. I have do a little research and finally I pick 2 which are ALS 219.032 AND VC 82172/000R-9382.

Price is almost the same, but these 2 brands are new to me. I love Rolex but i dont like any dress watch from them.

Please help me out

this is just my personal taste but for me it’s the lange by a mile. I love that watch and love the 35mm case.

Without having any idea which watches you're talking about I can assure you that the ALS is the better choice.

These are 2 watches.. The VC has more reserve power, but I dont know about the reliability of these watches

I have the Lange in white gold. It is a great watch. I choose it over the VC. The reason why is at the time I did not like the railroad track. I have since changed my tune and also bought a Traditionnelle. While these thing are very subjective, I prefer my Traditionnelle over my Saxonia.

Both are very reliable.

Don’t even think about it - ALS all the way. Handled the VC today and was completely underwhelmed

Between those two, it's the Lange.

But there is also this:

Both very reliable.

It all comes down to which one you like the most or what brand appeals more to you.

I would probably go VC if between those two particular models, in general I favor ALS.

I prefer the Vacheron. Both are very nice and also very similar though.

From those two I'd select VC but my generic choice is Lange. I'd even take a Lange 1 over both of those.

Lange - I had the Vacheron & the small seconds with the rail track is too busy IMO

I have both that VC and the Lange in the 1815 version. I like the VC from the front and the Lange from the back. Either way, you won't go wrong and are getting a better watch than if you bought a Patek, and I have the 5119 as well.

Between the two I like the Formsparache of that VC better. It’s firm and ALS is somewhat floppy, for a lack of better description.
