This or that?

Everyone, I am in the consideration process between this two watches. Would like to hear more opinions from you.

I have 5711, YG DDII, SS black Daytona, Hulk, and would like to trade other watches for a premium watch. The two watches I am thinking are:

I have always liked ALS but if it were my choice to make it would be the Pepsi!

I prefer the wg Pepsi. Owned Lange Dato for short time and decided to let her go as I prefer the bracelet nowadays. The Pepsi may be more common since the Lange is another level and not many people will appreciate it.

Both are completely drool worthy!! I would go BLRO but that's because it fits my style more.

I have not went the ALS route (but I dig em) however as a BLRO owner, I would say the GMT gets my vote. Besides, you already own a Patek (okay that doesn't really justify it but it is the one off brand in your collection).

Very hard to compare. A bracelet sport watch with a dressy watch on strap.

Haven't owned a BLRO, but I am thinking seriously of one.

I've owned three or four Lange Ones, but not for a few years now. I still love their clean look and simplicity but I don't see them as an every day watch unless you spend each day behind a desk

My Rolexs I wear anywhere and every where.

Both very different watches, both awesome watches, I love my ALS, I am sure I would enjoy a BLRO as well, but you do have a DD so already own a precious metal Rolex.

ALS is at another level in movement etc, and is still gold as well, just not in the band.

Depends on your lifestyle I guess. If you're always in jeans and smart casual, then the blro might give you more wearability and a better bang for your buck. If you attend more black tie events and love to suit up, then the Lange might make a nice dress watch. If you go the Lange route and still lust after the BLRO, then you prob can flip the Daytona and hulk for it.
