Can my super tiny wrist carry a Lange 1?
Dear all, I am planning to acquire my first ALS. As you might remember that I was struggling between Lange 1 (pre-owned) and Saxonia Thin 37mm. And I AM STILL STRUGGLING! I like both watch very much in different way. One is unique with strong wrist presen...
I think the lange 1 is too big since you brought it up
for you, the sax looks perfect, no bigger. Good luck!
Yes...
Both the Lange 1 (38mm) and Thin (37mm) look large. There is the Saxonia 219.032 (35mm) which might work for you. The important thing is the right fit. A heavy watch can be contained under cuffs. But, a loose watch will shift around and annoy you. Is the ...
How about a single deployment/fold clasp?
At first, I was dubious about the new fanged gadgets. But, I have discovered that a very precise fit is possible. There are after-market straps with clasps.
They're both beautiful watches
but the Saxonia size does seem to suit your wrist better and looks fantastic. Of course they are very different in that the Sax is a pure dress watch whilst the other has large date, power reserve and sub seconds so I suppose it depends on what you want f...
The 1 looks fine to me - your wrist can take it
But more importantly - if it feels right to you then it is!
If you like it, you can pull it off.
The size does not matter, only how you feel wearing it.
Agree with the above.
They are on the large size, but pics do generally enhance the \'lug overhang\'. Go for the one you like and wear it with joy
+1 -- it's worth the wait...
... to find the Little Lange 1 that suits you. The market for the 36mm Lange 1 is very limited -- not many people want them -- so they often sell at a bit of a discount. ...
I sympathize! My wrists are tiny too (about the same as yours).
I would second the suggestion of the little Lange (36mm) or the 35mm Saxonia. That said, the Saxonia thin at 37mm looks quite good too, but in my very limited experience the nagging little feeling that it might be too large is hard to dispel.
I am also in the same camp
But look at the upside: we can wear cool vintage stuff without making it look too small
You fool!
Buy this now! The new 37mm Lange1 with guilloche dial! I said now! Nevermind that it is not quite available, it will be soon!
I have the exact same problem
I wanted the Sax AC which I believe is the same size. It is not so much that the watch is big, the lugs are too long IMO but that is how ALS is. One way around the lugs sticking out is to get a thicker strap or have a customised strap to the right length,...
As a strong, confident, independent woman....
...OR man, we watch aficionados are not beholden to anyone else for our choice of wristwatch. In fact, I would be straight and say: "Don't give a damn about others." It's your watch and as long as YOU are wearing it, nothing else matters. Of course, as yo...
Might I suggest, Nigel,
having a bottle of 1982 Musigny and then deciding? Better yet...invite me to share an '82 Musigny and we can decide which watch together!
So I listened to you guys...
And went to try on the Saxonia 35mm today. And it fits nicely on my wrist (thank god). I also love the fact that its price is same as the Thin 37mm, making the decision much easier. Now, I'd prefer a PG version of this beauty. ...
Saxonia 37
Like you I struggled but between the Saxonia and VC tradionalle. I went with VC at the end but the Saxonia remains on my target list. Anyway, they are both desirable but think Saxonia suitd you better.
Yes for me
I have a size 5.9 wrist so smaller wrist also. I just buy a short strap and wear all sizes up to 40mm. If the Lange one sings to you, I suggest you try it with a short strap available. I am planning to get a Lange One also Take also a look at the new Lang...
It is good to meet
a fellow purist with a small wrist! Both the Lange 1 and Saxonia thin are too large for you. My suggestion is that you opt for the 35mm Saxonia which should be a perfect for your wrist.
It looks like a Panerai almost
But it is a Lange. So who could blame you? Although size wise a 37 mm would be more in balance with your wrist.
Besides the L1 and the Saxonia, would you consider the 1815?
The older 1815's are 36mm and fit nicely on slim wrists. I too have a slim wrist and find the old 1815 sits well. 1815 Pt ...
Folks
all the time post pictures of watches bigger than that on same and smaller wrists and rave about them. I gave up they advising they are too big. I think now no watch is too big if you like it. Woman wear 44mm Panerai all the time with no issues. I think a...
The feeling to a watch changes over time.
I used to think 40mm is too big for me, and I traded it. Now I'm a little bit regretted for that decision. I guess L1 is not as big as you might feel
Good choice!
Why not! The little Lange 1 is something I'd like to see. Without pusher, the watch seems to be more elegant.
Lange 1
As a Lange 1 owner...no other watch gives me more joy to look at! I would suggest you make it fit on your wrist! You won't regret it! I see people with slightly larger wrists wearing 44mm and 45 mm watches. 38 mm won't be too bad. I would suggest you also...
Yes, based on the photos, IMO the Lange 1 is ...
...too big for your wrist. But if you like it, it is your call ! Good luck with your decision. Cheers, Gordon
My opinion is but an echo..
I agree that each person learns to rock a different style. if rocked properly, you can technically pull off anything. Charlize Theron wearing a Rolex Deep Sea Sea Dweller, she pulls it off. But from a classical perspective the Lange 1 will be harder to pu...
