      The Odysseus needs a bit more work although it's already a cool watch, but I think they're too different with the RO, Nautilus and Overseas, I wouldn't compare them per say.

    This watch is the nicest Chrono on the market in a myriad of ways. The only design change I'd personally like to see is the pushers. They would look better (to me) if they were circular.

    The Dato is cool, but I tried it on, and I found it unbearably heavy. Even the rose gold Dato was too heavy for me. Yet the 1815 chrono felt great (much lighter), so then and there I decided that the 1815 chrono is more my style.

    Datograph is too big & heavy for most wrists. Instead go with the 1815 Chronograph. Same beautiful movement, but without the date function. It’s a better size and a more balanced watch on the wrist. People may consider Patek chronograph dials to be more aesthetically pleasing, but Lange makes a far superior movement as well as a far better overall build quality.

      TBH In some way they are better than Journe. I have heard of some unreliability issues with Journes from fellow watch collectors; not sure if true. Because Journe uses proprietary screws no one can service the watches except Journe. Therefore the wait list from the Service dept is like 1 year or over.

    Great video - and a stunning piece of horology.
    You asked if there is another watch that competes with it in terms of finish and function. In my mind, the Montblanc 1858 Split Second Chronograph is just outstanding - the movement is just gorgeous, and it's functionally amazing. I will grant that it is not quite at the same level of finish as the Datograph, but it's also about a third of the price. (I realize that price isn't necessarily the driver in these cases.)
    Just my $.02, since you asked! Thanks for a great review!
