It was, once it was around... But there´s a point.
From many post, i do see comparisons of the 1815 CHR and the Dato.
These days such are probably obsolete, because the 1815 can´t be had any longer.
But then, do both may do well together, rather choose one over the other.
And particularly because the 1815 is discontinued, i´d guess one may end up with both and just choose which first?
Cheers,
Peter

Decided not to take pretty pictures.....
of this Frankened Dato as I would like you guys to see the watch as real and raw as possible. I 've asked a very good watchmaker friend of mine from Asia to help me with this watch so I can seriously think about it. Would really love your opinion if this ...
Nay - but nice pics anyway :-)
And a lovely watch for sure!!! As per the hands, i´m not an overly huge fan of unauthorized modifications. Sure 22" wheels can do well on a Rolls-Royce, but for most of the time to me it seems there´s a reason they don´t come with these straight from the ...
Peter...
Thanks for your view . May I ask what will Lange do to my watch if I send in for servicing in future? Will they confisticate my watch or my hands? And if I change my hands back to original before submitting for service, will that make any difference. Than...
Btw Peter, 1815 Chr is 39.5mm on
the Lange product book. When I last try it , it does wear bigger than a Dato. I note that the Lange website was saying otherwise. Dunno which one is the correct answer. Lovesss*CL ps. Happy Holidays to you and my heartfelt thanks to you for being a wonder...
I think so...
Hi John, i think so! And in fact, the Lange catalogue mentions a diameter of 39.5mm! So i think that´s correct. But i´ve never measured one myself Actually i´ve found the Dato to be slightly heavier, which to me makes a (very subjective) difference in ter...
Thanks Peter....
1815Chr is yummy. How I wish it is 0.5mm smaller, larger crown , larger and centralized subdial. I guess there's no perfection. It still is a wonderful piece Lovesss*CL
nay for me, unless lange did the change for u and give u a cert of authenticity...........
however, that's just my opinion. beautiful watch anyhow. btw, is yr dato a limited edition?
Btw...a.ler, your white metal Historique Chronograph
is GORGEOUS !!! One piece that really speaks to me alot. Hope you enjoy that beauty often Lovesss*CL ps. This Dato is a Pisa edition limited to 10.
thank u. u spotted the pride of my collection..........................
soon a dato platinum in black dial will join. so i'll have the pp5070, vc les historique and dato as the white trio chronos. hahaha can't hide my excitement. it's a good year.
CL its nice and cool.
Hi CL, Just my thought,your modification is beyond doubt--very nice!and execellent job. but just like others mentioned the "originality" counts too.So?its yours,do what you like,it doesnt matter what others think?In fact,this shows Lange,their clients' in...
I'm all for "non-authorized" changes....
Hi, CL, and in this case [personal rant mode on] I consider the original version "un authorized". Watch design over the centuries developed some unwritten rules - one of them, since introduction of luminous materials, was -if luminous hands, luminous indi...
I wonder what will happen if ...
you decide to take pretty pictures; I happen to like the pictures you just posted! But looking at the blued hands on the Rhodie dial I would say "nay"; to loud a combination for this dial imHo!! It looks a little odd, a little "off" I guess. The hands wor...
