Both really tough choices. I would lean towards the Datograph. It has everything that I was looking for in a chronograph. It is a little top heavy due to the platinum and thickness but it doesn't bother me at all. I find it comfortable for my small wrist. Good luck!

Looks great, Vipes. How big is your wrist?

Thanks. My wrist is a wimpy 6.3 inches.

Looks great! Gives me hope as mine is an even wimpier 6 inches..

Can I ask if yours is on the tang or deployant? Is it comfortable on whichever it is you're using?

Mine is on the tang. In general, I find the tang more comfortable. I usually like heavy watches so I find the Datograph pretty comfortable. I think you'll be fine if your wrist is flat. Hope this helps.

PP. Especially since you have an ALS already.

Thanks for the thoughts everyone!

Have been trying to move to smaller pieces given how lovely the lange 1 Mp is on the wrist.. But given that I own a Panda ROO and a Pam 372 hopefully the Datograph is still reasonably comfortable!

Overall it seems like the majority plump for the datograph, which surprised me given its up against a perpetual calendar.. And I agree it's really magical looking especially from the back! However something is tugging at me saying I should get a Patek in at some point.. Not sure if vanity due to the brand reputation is in play here..

I would get the Dato and then save and sell the MP and/or the others for the Patek. That's the best way for me to have two icons of the two best brands.
