IWC Vintage Pilot's Watch Hand Wound

Have a Mondaine
Found a Mondaine at a local AD. It was 70% off so I picked up the 41mm version for $55 after tax. Does anyone own one?Information from Mondaine website;Mondaine¡¯s Design Line needs almost no introduction. The hallmark of this collection, the Official Swiss Railway watch, is recognized worldwide. Based on Swiss designer and engineer Hans Hilfiker¡¯s 1940s patented classic, the Swiss Railway Station Clock (over 3,000 clocks are seen in every station), Mondaine developed the model-protected wristwatch version in 1986 that has also become a classic.

Patek vs A Lange & Sohne
It wasn't until recently, less than 2 months that I got interested in Patek, so much that I ordered 1 week ago a 5712, and I have been looking since a few days into ALS, for curiosity purposes.I find many of their pieces quite fascinating, especially some which one could expect at much higher price levels are relatively well priced for the renowned quality of this brand, for example the Langematik perpetual calendar, or the Lange 1 time zone.I like that many of their models are hand wound, I love automatic watches but hand wound pieces give you a deeper relation with the watch IMO.From what I read on TRF most Patek fans put PP and ALS either on the same level of quality and craftsmanship or PP first but ALS in second.I never saw one in real but on photos they do seem to have a superior level of quality, the finish on them seems impeccable.Unfortunately even if I find them very beautiful and not too expensive for some interesting models, they are too much in the dress watch section for
