The DS: Jerome‘s double split, Suitbert‘s double rattrapante and my double chrono
As you can see in the headline: the DS is quite a divers chrono. The original discussion started actually in the Patek forum as Jerome was introducing, in an inpressive post once more, the new 5204 p. From my point of view it is a double chrono as you can...
If you are saying Moritz...
that the DS is one awesome piece of machinery with a complication that's hard to beat........then I'm afraid I will have to agree with you. :) Thanks for the explanation! fernando
I am happy that no one responded:" I have just ruined my DS, de Monet!"
Thank you for your respond, Fernando. This could have been THE sports watch comming from Lange if Lange would do them ... but they don‘t. I have to investigate the 5204 movement a bit more in detail, but without making it ripe for decision: it looks very ...
Very interesting...
Very interesting and thanks for sharing. I am very fortunate to have one in my possession and it truly is an amazing watch and one someone must see in person to truly understand! Cheers,
You can say that again!
Trust you are having a blast of a time with your pieces! Enjoy them to the max always please! Tschuss Stephen
Great explanation, very clear
Your post complete perfectly the one on the PP forum. Thanks Moritz. I hope having the opportunity to see a DS in real, one day. Cheers, Patrickh
Make mine a Double!
Hi Moritz, Before I get double vision or run into double trouble, the DS does not contain two seperate chronographs than can either operate independently or be made to synchronize with each other. There are times when a person may need two chronographs, o...
It is in your hand to proof me wrong :-), my dear Amery!
A very detailed respond from you, for which I have to thank you. But unfortunatelly the start is not quite "right" :-). To settle for the moment: yes the discribed situation and usage of the DS in your example is correct ... same is mine. YOU make it work...
I am deeply distressed - and puzzled ;-)
Dear Moritz, I thought - and still think - that we would agree on all points, so could you please clarify where I went wrong at The Start? It should be obvious that YOU never suggested that actually two chronographs were planted under the same roof (case)...
That is quite reassuring that you have the same point of view :-)
Nice that you can interpret the DS also as a double chrono! I simply misunderstood your introduction lines to your post: I felt addressed, as if I would think that there are two chrono movements. Regarding Suitbert and Jerome: it is my and, luckily also y...
I have watched that movie on the function of the DS 50 times
...and I now finally understand it having read your post! Now that I have the DS, other chronos pale -- and I have lots of useful purposes, such as recording what portion of my trip is spent on the subway and what portion walking to and from the station. ...
Very pleased you liked the post, Gary
That video is really enjoyable, but unfortunately it does not show also the other ways to use it. I am not really a chrono person, but if I would choose a high end one: it wuold be it. As you are saying: practically very useful. Like I wrote to Fernando‘s...
