They are 3 absolute beauties for sure. I prefer the dial of the VC over the PP but the ALS as an overall package might be the winner. I’d gladly own any of them if money was no object.

I’ll take the Vacheron, but only on a day that ends with a Y.

Not keen on the PP dial. The Lange is very nice too, but that guilloché dial on the VC wins it for me.

Now, back to reality...:problem:

You see Guy we do agree on some “watch style” issues after all. :lol: :)

I wouldn’t bother with any of them either.

Having tried on similar models from those brands I came to the conclusion that the basic end of these three brands is all about the name on the dial. You could buy a GS, Moser, UJ or a few other niche brands with a similar level of finishing and more interesting cases.

The complications and grand complication models from PP, VC and ALS are the ones that hold interest.
