Hmm, no idea but I wouldn't say so. Would have to do a side by side to be sure 🤷‍♂️

IMCOMING!! Got a nice little package from UPS this morning 😉😜

Long story so I will try and be brief. I've had the 39mm Datograph 3 separate times and each time I tried to wear it unsuccessfully due to comfort issues. I think it has to do with the ratio of thickness to diameter of the case which makes it wear like a ...

IMCOMING!! Got a nice little package from UPS this morning 😉😜

Woweee! That some heavy hitting metal Justin!! Interesting point of diameter over thickness and I felt the same about my 39 datograph. Strap looks great btw and enjoy 😊

Thanks Ian. It is a BIG boy for sure but actually wears fine even on my small wrist. Will try and enjoy this one for sure. The movement is an ABSOLUTE KILLER !! 😜

Huge congratulations ! ...

Thanks Cpt. Yes, the ratio of case diameter - thickness is key to comfort for smaller wrists IMHO. Will be interesting to see which straps and colors I choose for this monster. Will be fun 😉👍

Don’t forget to post some shots with your strap choices 😬

Of course not Cpt. That will be the fun part 🤣👍

😬👍

👍🙏🤛

Looks like Kung Fu ;-)) 🥋

Chinese Kung Fu, drunken monk style 🤣

That is one of my favorite Langes

Thanks bro, really an uber cool piece for sure 👌

If only it had a date window ! 😂 😂

I actually prefer it without the date window Jay 😉😁. I didn't know they made a YG version, maybe it was RG ?

It was YG, I think they were a limited run of 10 or so pieces. I don’t recall for what occasion or if it was for a retailer. There was another YG piece at the dealer too, a Dato (1st Gen) on a bracelet.

Ah ok, so a yellow jacket type of DS. WOW, I really would love to see that, especially on the YG bracelet. I would love to find a PT bracelet for this DS if it even exists 🤷‍♂️😜

10 YG/grey dial (404.048) for Japanese market c.2009, 10 RG/black dial (404.047) for Sincere c.2005

Thanks for the info. Wow, so 10 of each. I might be tempted by a RG black dial if I ever see that unicorn 🦄🤣

ROFL!!!

huge congratulations, J !

Thanks S, definitely a killer 🤛👍🙏

Amazing piece. Congrats! The double and triple splits are monuments to watchmaking.

Thanks and wholeheartedly agree 👍

Justin beautiful watch man! I agree about the dp buckle bringing the centre of gravity ..

Indeed O. Your Double Split also looks amazing 👍

Wow - what a stunner! Congrats!

Indeed it is all about the thickness - case diameter ratio as well as the lug length snd design 👍. The matching strap was a given 😉🤣

Congratulations! That is a helluva time piece. Have always loved it! Wear it in good health!

Very kind, thank you 😊🙏

Congratulations on the giant!

It is a BIG boy but works with the thick strap well my friend 😉. As for Yokozuna, both he and this DS are Godzilla sized 🤣🤣

Most definitely Godzilla’s!!! 🤣🦖

LOL, exactly 😜🤣👍

Whoa, huge congrats! Really interesting to hear about the fit differences, must be so exciting to get more watch on the wrist AND a more comfortable experience so you can wear it more, win win!

Couldn't have said it better bro, definitely a win win. I read through the other post about Lange's new policy and agree with you so hopefully they are not shooting themselves in the foot or FACE !!

Agreed, gotta enjoy the watches and not get caught up in the brand BS! Today people buy brands rather than products and the brands are playing the games they feel they must.

Totally agree brother. Sadly the sheep mentality is contagious 🐑🐑. We just need to look past that and try to enjoy ourselves and our passion together without worrying about what the next cool piece will be 😉👍🙏

Great piece and good choice on the strap.

Thanks and indeed it is all about thickness and diameter as well as lug design and length 👍

BIG Congratulations!

BIG thanks Raymond 😊🙏

Congratulations, Justin! The double split is an apex Lange!

Thanks Jordan, it is a beast and the movement is RIDICULOUS. Have a look for yourself

Incredible!!!

Oh yeah 😉. Even better when you loupe it 😁💪

Congratulations Justin

Thanks my friend and indeed I also feel the Dato series wears better with a larger diameter case. Makes it wear less like a hockey puck 🤣🤣

Congrats on the mighty 8 hands Double Split!

Many thanks Fernando 😉👍. It is indeed a crazy cool piece 😎

Can I please become your family member?

LOL, I was going to ask you the same thing 🤣😜😉

Yea yea... we know it's perfect, you're in the honeymoon.😉 Didn't we all been there? When we get a new watch we behave like toddlers 🤣🤣🤣

"...it's way nicer finished than the triple split"

Yes, the triple is more machine finished than the double.

Outrageous, if true (not really doubting you; but I haven't seen either in person).

It’s sadly a happening across the board in most brands...

For sure. Although I thought these high-end Langes would be preserved from that.

I would think the same so still unsure of what to think until there is more info provided 👍

This, I would agree with sadly 😥😔

To be determined 🤷‍♂️🤔

Not so sure about that. Will compare with a friend who has a Triple Split. Only way to find out is to loupe BOTH movements side by side 😉

Hmm, no idea but I wouldn't say so. Would have to do a side by side to be sure 🤷‍♂️

LOL, thanks my friend. Don't know about the finishing between the Triple Split and the Double Split but all I can say is that this movement is UNBELIEVABLE 🔥🤯😉

I’ve seen them both, and your double split is visibly superior...😉

Surprising to hear indeed. Will have to do a side by side comparison for myself 👍

Super congratulations.

Thanks Russell, really appreciate it my friend 🙏. Now I need to snag a Lumen series like you, either a Datograph or Phantom if I can 😁😉👍

Good luck 👍

Totally agree Russell. Now for the price of entry which could be a bit off putting 😜🤣🤷‍♂️

Wow a true masterpiece 🤩

Thank you kindly. It truly is a mechanical marvel 👍

Congrats! Such a grail piece!

Thanks Darren. I handled the 1st edition Triple Split but never thought about it as I knew it was just too big for wrist. I also preferred the black dial and PT case of the DS but again was reluctant due to size, weight, and thickness...

Another milestone has landed in your collection, mon ami! A very impressive chronograph, with a sophistication we both love.... BRAVO.

Thanks mon ami. This really is the epitome of a mechanical marvel. I have been fortunate to own many amazing pieces but the DS has to rank up there just for its horological prowess and uber cool package 👍🔥💥

I know that. And I tend to agree.

Just trying to help out a brother 😉😜👍🙏
