Wolf in sheep's skin?
2019 has been kind to me with these mechanical wonders.
Year is not over but with brands announcing new releases ad hoc, not waiting for major shows/events, mini-collaborations with retailers etc, watch collecting has never been so exciting.
Looking forward to more goodies to come.

Great year indeed! Wonderful choices!
A very nice variety of Langes! It would very difficult to pick a favorite from those three. Do you have one?
Pick a favorite? Kill me instead :)
Hopefully I can get a nice RL or ZW in future to round up the collection family. Thanks DarrenKats.
Thanks a lot!
The first one has a piece unique in steel but was auctioned for a great cause and no titanium...you wished 😂
Thank you....in terms of the movement finishing, few can match them....
Although if I have a 5070P like yours, not sure if I want another chrono 😉
I have to agree somehow I have a soft spot for them...
So far I accumulated 7 of them since 2015....hopefully more to come. Thank you.
7 Langes
That’s no longer a soft spot, that’s called addiction. Although most addictions are dangerous this one is the opposite. You started 2015 and now 7 Lange’s, I started 2016 and am at 5 Vacherons (two weeks from now number 6 will be delivered) Great trio, I ...
VC is another respectable brand and with the longest history...VC-Very Cool :)
The one that I like is their CDV and I’m so close to getting Pt one but end up with the 1815 chrono. This addiction is dangerous because there are so many other brands as well. Congrats to your incoming. ...
CDV superb
Ha that CDV is so good, especially in platinum although I must admit that the recently introduced steel version is attractive as well. Personally we now own Overseas chronograph steel, blue dial Overseas small rose gold with diamonds (my wife) Harmony com...
That is so nice of you to enjoy this hobby with your wife.
Similarly in my case, my wife is also into watches and has been very supportive. Here are our 6 other Langes, picture taken in July, not including the L1 Moonphase 25th Anniversary which just arrived 2 weeks ago. The 2nd from left is my wife's Little Lang...
Family
It’s not only my wife but our two children plus our daughter in law have been infected with the virus as well. My son, 30, now has an Omega Speedmaster Professional IWC Portugieser time only IWC Pilot watch Mark XVIII the Le Petit Prince Edition Rolex Exp...
That's even better....good for you to have family to share this passion and joy...
I have only a son. When he was about 10, he likes watches and always buys one when we go vacation...then he totally stopped and just focused on games Then suddenly this year, when turned 15, he is starting to look at my collection and asking what can he w...
Ps
Ps and completely forgot to mention that your Lange’s are superb. I especially like that 1815 with the blue dial and the moonphase and stars depicted on the dial. Is that that limited edition (200 I recall). That one, plus the 1815 Chrono WG would be my f...
Thank you for your kind words....
as you and me all know, it's never enough but we cannot have everything unless you're a huge business person or top level executive or IPO/startup. Everyone here has a nice collecting story so is your awesome VC. At some point, I'm sure we will come to sl...
Very true
Although I’m not so sure about this slowing down in due time I’ve just turned 60 (although I call it 30 years with 30 years experience) but it seems to be accelerating lol
That’s wisdom Jurry...
60 is the new 40 but what a nice way to put it, lol 😂 Enjoy your weekend my experienced friend.
I have to say, I like the L1 on your wrist best.
My guess is that we have similar sized wrists. I’d looked at the RL earlier this year (or was is last autumn maybe) and so much wanted to like it on my wrist. However it didn’t look right to me. For me, 38.5mm is perfect. I could go to smaller too and be ...
My wrist measures ~18cm or 7in...
but it also depends on whether it's bony, chubby, flat top or rounded, lol.... I can wear watches from 36 to 44mm and it doesn't bother me...but weight-wise, I don't prefer too heavy like in the case of full Pt bracelet type. We wear watches for the "Look...
