Two guys walk into a restaurant...
I had lunch with my friend yesterday. Let's just say we had a lot of fun.
There is an "intruder" in the watchbox above, but we will allow it because it is such a great watch and the only one that can make some noise if we object. And by the way, I had never seen a 47100 in the metal before. It is magnificent!
You don't see two of these together very often.
I think this one looks really good on my wrist. Joe, did you check your watch box when you got home? ;-)
I am working toward this lineup...maybe we both are. ;-)
I love my 1955, but this Lange is just exquisite. My buddy is trying to educate me in the ways of Lange.
I wish all lunches could be this enjoyable. I am eating at my desk today. :-(
Thanks for looking.
Best,
respo

It looks like a nice restaurant and a great collection of watches!
I'm so hungry right now I think I'd take a New York strip steak over the platinum Historiques Chronographs! I'll be having lunch next Monday with a gentleman who happens to have a rose gold VC with enamel dial with a red twelve. :-) Thank you for taking t...
Those three pieces ...
with salmon dials are superb. Never saw them in the metal, but would Love to. Maybe the black straps are a little bit hard? Brown or grey ... :-) Oliver
I started with the brown
It was nice buti wanted to try the back for a while. Buti really like your dea of gray. Does VC have one as standard? Thanks Joe
One more wrist shot
Didn't we have a Wrist Scan theme a couple of weeks ago on "Someone else's watch, somone else's wrist?" ...
Well, there are some true marvels!
I am not a big fan of the Saltarello, but the Salmon Choron is very my taste... As well as this superb Anniversary. A watch I would well see in your collection, Respo... Yes! Best, Nicolas
I have much to learn...
...about Lange and many other things. This Anniversary was a pleasant revelation for me. The Saltarello is not only my taste but my obsession! Best always, respo
Well, in this case, ( Saltarello ), go for it. We have to realize our obsessions! :)
As for Lange, there are a few marvels in the collection of this german brand. The Anniversary is one of them, for sure! To be tasted... Best, Nicolas
At least two photos are missing!
Robert, you tease ;-) How 'bout some close-ups of that skeleton back there? Also, the back side of a Saltarello is equal to the face! Wonderful line-up, I hope you finished your plate.
I know, Dean, I know!
I did not take enough photos. I was a bit overwhelmed by the watches that I was not planning the photography carefully. In fact, the restaurant was relatively empty when we sat down. We talked and looked at watches for a good hour before we ordered by whi...
I hope that was a nice long lunch, Respo ...
... because there is a lot to enjoy there. The Saltarello is great to see. Horology can get boring without these sorts of watches to spice things up. The salt on the meal to transform the bland to the exciting. Thanks for sharing these here. Andrew
It was a long lunch, actually
But the time flew by. We had a lot of ground to cover. The Saltarello was the main course for me, but indeed on the table were some of my very favorite watches. Thanks for looking. Best regards, Respo
Excellent Robert!
Watches after my own heart. Excellent taste! All the best BTW, something for Dean. Joseph ...
Joseph, thank you...
...for correcting the obvious deficiency in my photo set. That is one of my favorite rear views. I guess there were a couple of familiar faces for you in our gathering. ;-) Kind regards, respo
You're very welcome, Bob
I had a few other pics of the back but I didn't have the time to dig them out. And you are correct...the Saltarello and Historique Chrono are part of my own collection (as is a Mercator, Francois). But the skeleton chrono WAS part of the collection as wel...
I saw, a few years ago, the back of a Saltarello, and I compared it to the back
Of a Merctor.... There is no match, here, the Saltarello has a much nicer rotor than the Mercator... My only issue on this watch, by the way... Best, Respo. Nicolas
what a treat !
I adore the 1955 , what a fantastic and subtile watch. The pink Saltarello and the salmon chronograph are also amongst my favorite Vacheron. Dial and cases are wonderful with perfect proportions. Add a Mercator and an excellence Platine Chrono Perpetual a...
Well, well, Francois...
...it appears we share the same taste in VCs. But I suppose we are in good company as these are all, as you listed them, wonderful watches. At least the 1955 remains in current production and is therefore easier to collect for the moment. The others are a...
