A. Lange & Söhne

walked into a Lange AD. One had his sights set on acquiring his first Lange. The other provided support and was the instigator. The AD had a very good selection in stock and after checking out a few including the new 1815 up/down, Grand Lange 1, double sp...  

and even nicer when you can share it with a friend :-) My choice (in this case) would have been the L1 Timezone Pt. Thanks, for sharing! Oliver

I have a new found love for the TZ.

what I have ... ... and what I tried on my wrist - only :-) (humble version in WG) Nonetheless, you took a great decision and I hope it will make you happy for a very long time. Cordially, Oliver ...  

Actually the TZ was the original choice but the Dato won out in the end. Its not bad for a first. I'm sure there'll be others. :) Best fernando

Fernando that you friends thinks you are addictive :-) Cordially, Oliver

that will be my first and last one you are a terrible influence; please don't talk to me about watches again we are better friends when we talk about other "stuff" instead :)

talk about the other stuff here. :) You really think this will be your first & last? Wishful thinking. :)

as for me.........on the far right under plastic........no hesitation.....but I have my dream chrono already...so .... huge Congrats.... Mo

that's a wonderful piece....

looking at it too Mo. Such a beautiful enamel dial and the gorgeous backside with the fusee and chain. However, when placed next to 3 platinum pieces, it just somehow came up short in the metals department. In pt. it would have been the clear winner irres... 

OR the original Datograph. Best, And congrats to your friend, as I guess that you were the instigator! Nicolas

I'm returning the favor as he influenced my acquisition of some Pams.:( You still miss your old Dato it seems. Best Fernando

I wear - and use it - a couple of times each week for cooking, working out, and timing myself over the undefined stretches of my city. Can it take it? Sure .. Purrrr !!! My suggestion, if not for the first time, is to go out - or stay in - and actually us... 

You are absolutely right to say that the DS is a joy, under any circumstance. This makes it for me at the moment also better bearable not to own it, but knowing that such a fascinating thing is there, somewhere out there. Also to come with people like you... 

We should include the DS. :) Side by side you can see the difference. It's noticeably bigger. I am quite happy to live with it though. :) cheers fernando ...  

The Dato is a seminal piece , even for Lange ! Would have made the very same choice ! Easy choice ! Congrats to your buddy !

and would be my recommendation as well together with the TZ but for a chrono lover the Dato proved irresistible. :)

as Fernando thinks.....I should get the grand lange 1, TZ and also dato....thus why not get all 3?? one can see what kind of "friend" he is......

Here for me the choice is clear and simple. I agree 100% with your friends choice. Either you gave him good advice or he has good taste ;) Best Edmond

Well, I would say a combination of both. :) cheers fernando

Was it the size / thickness of the DS that was not to his taste? Moritz

The size of the DS is fine; but dato more "friendly" for day to day use moreover, if i get the DS, then there will be nothing left for me to persue in addition, i was told that i could be the next owner of fernando's DS!

He's not a die hard fan..... yet. Give him time. ;) cheers fernando

Moritz, pease see the above - or below - or at least somewhere on this thread my latest comments on the DS. I am wearing it right now with the greatest pleasure - and am timing absolutely Nothing at All! Immer Dein Freund, amerix This message has been edi...

I love this watch, I love the dial, I love the design. And that tiny little chain and fusee delights me to no end (notice my avatar photo of a Lange fusee). I truly love this watch! That being said, I do see the merits in the other watches, and for a chro... 

The watch on the left! :) Thanks Fernando. ...  

I see this as a nobrainer ......and it didn't warm me up much when it came out..... Mo

... have chosen PLM.... Really special.... Sigh..... and drool! Congrats anyway, a new Lange owner! Ken

Sigh and drool indeed! Mo

In love with all 4 of them. Congrats to the new Lange owner! If I were to choose from the 4... I would go for the Grand Lange 1 in platinum. Love the Lange 1 series and they are the nicest in platinum! Cheers Robin

The G. Lange 1 pt. felt great on the wrist. I really like this new version of the G. Lange 1. cheers fernando

Congratulations, But I would have made another choice. Best Dje

Simply cause it is in Pt while the RL PLM is not, but i already have the King anyways ;) Tschuss Stephen
