Which do you prefer?

 

Depends on what I was buying it for.
More of a dress watch? The PF
More for an everyday watch? ALS

I do not have the feeling the Lange works that well as an everyday watch. (The other too, probably) for an active life.
Not very nice to be bumped around and services in Lange are not friendly to the wallet.
Scratches will be more annoying than in a steel (sports) watch.

 

I vote the PF because it looks a bit more unique.

 

I think the Parm is more elegant and unique!

 

ALS on overall looks, hand design and blued seconds hand. The PT is lovely but it would get little wrist time.

 

I would do a lot of babbling on this one.

 

Turn them over. That would play an important role for me.

 

It’s not a fair comparison… easy win for ALS.

 

 

 

Looks like both movements are great; finished to a high standard. I think I would lean toward the ALS for two reasons: (1) It appears slightly more interesting to me - just my personal opinion, and (2) I much prefer having a minutes track (so that it can be set precisely).

There's no wrong answer, though. You have excellent taste.

 

Looks-wise, the ALS looks more classical while the PF looks more modern probably because it has a cleaner aesthetic? Both looks do appeal to me though.

I prefer the ALS. But this is primarily due to its known history and reputation. In the event there is a need to sell or trade it, I imagine owning the ALS will be more advantageous (or less disadvantageous) than owning the PF.

Good luck whichever OP chooses!

 

Another vote for the A. Lange & Söhne Saxonia. Why? Because of its overall aesthetics and craftsmanship.

 

The Lange because I somehow rank the brand a bit higher. When it's close you end up deciding based on stupid factors like brand...

Both are gorgeous, beautiful hands on both models.

 

I personally like the ALS more, but also think it's a bit unfair to compare a yellow gold watch to a rose gold one.

 

The ALS - I much prefer busier dials and that Parm is too minimal for me.

And I do not favor coin edge bezels.

Agree with all of this.

 

The real reason to get the ALS is the Sax-O-Mat movement. It has zero-reset hacking seconds and a hand-finished rotor in 21k gold and has a platinum mass. By far the better buy.

 

Neither. You'll get 99% of the look you're going for, plus better materials, finish, and movement with a MoonSwatch. Maybe the yellow one. On a NATO strap.

 

ALS all day, for everyday. It just feels like a watch that never needs to leave your wrist.

 

They're both dress watches. I'd vote ALS just because I'm familiar with it. I don't think they'd sell one to the likes of me tho. Too unsophisticated.

 

ALS for me! The heritage of the brand, the classiness

 

I would choose the ALS, but only after swapping the straps 😁

The Parm has gotten my eye.

 

For me, personally, I prefer the ALS. I do not like red gold on my skin tone, which is already kinda pink (I’m very fair). I also prefer the ALS because it has automatic winding. It doesn’t look like the PF has that. If you are wearing the watch every day, you may come to appreciate the automatic winding ALS. But if red gold looks flattering with your skin tone and you wear it occasionally for special occasions, the PF may be a joy to wind and to interact with.
