Thank you Melvyn, for a superb and entertaining account of a wonderful evening. My wife and I were there too. The food was excellent (wagyu mmmmmm), the company even better. The Lange 31 cannot, and should not be compared with any other watch. It's such a unique piece, and looks ever so elegant. We debated for a while about how to wear the watch; the men were wearing lounge suits and the 31 would cheekily peek out from under the sleeve. The women were happily displaying it on their bare arms. Wonderful !
