1815 Up/Down or 1815 Chrono

[ramenjiro]

Hi everyone!
This is my first time posting here.
I enjoy reading all your discussions, and hope I’m able to make new friends with you all.

I am on a serious watch purge at the moment, and have decided to acquire a Lange with the money generated.

Here is where I would like to ask for your advice.
I am interested in the 1815 series, especially the Up/Down in WG (234.026) and the 2nd Gen Chronograph (402.026).

My dilemma is going either...

A) 1815 Up/Down + Rolex Steel Ceramic Daytona (116550LN) or

B) 1815 Chronograph

As a result of my consolidation, the watches that I have decided to keep are my Rolex GMT BLNR and my Rolex Submariner Date LV. Either A or B would be added, making it a 3 (or 4) watch collection for the time being.

What would be your pick, and why? Please keep in mind that the 1815 would be my only dressy piece, which I would be wearing to my office on weekdays, and on special occasions like nice dinners and weddings etc.
Also, if anyone has owned both 1815s, I would also like to hear your experience too!

Thanks, and have a wonderful weekend.
