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 like the Chrono boutique edition with blue but the regular WG black dial is also gorgeous.
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 complete calendar MoonphaseJLC
American 1921 small version rose gold (for my wife)
American 1921 large version platinum
Next week we will be traveling to Geneva to collect number 6: it’s a very special VC and I won’t disclose which model it is but will post it as soon as I have it.
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 Explorer (that latest reference with the extended hands)
My daughter (32) now has
CARTIER Tank Louis de CARTIER gold
JLC Reverso Day and Night
Rolex Oyster Perpetual
VC Traditionelle
And our daughter in law, who was absolutely not into watches, now has her first real watch an Omega Seamaster Aqua Terra and she doesn’t know it yet but when she turns 30 in few months we will give her a Rolex Oyster Perpetual white gold blue dial baton hour markers
But the watches themselves don’t matter, we would be equal happy with bunch of Seiko’s etc. what matters is that we as the whole family enjoy watches, read and talk about them.
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 favorite langes
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.

Thanks Raymond, that's a correct (and interesting) consideration! I've never seen the dial of the second ALS and it's extremely attractive, was it made for a special occasion? Cheers. [nt]

You're welcome Fab. The 2nd one is the 1815 Boutique Edition Chrono, released back in 2015 to celebrate 200th year of the founder, still a current production. [nt]

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.

I love the 2nd one but it looks a little bit bigger than the 3 rd one to me. By the way They all are a wonderful collections . [nt]

Now that you mentioned...their dimensions are: 40.5mm, 39.5mm, 38.5mm in that order. Thanks Evan1, still not tempted? Maybe I flip them over? :) [nt]

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.
Thank you.
Too kind, sham1...you, me, us, we all are ... true connoisseurs here 👍🏻 [nt]

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

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.
The 2nd from left is my wife's Little Lange 1 boutique edition.
Here are our 6 other Langes, picture taken in July, not including the L1 Moonphase 25th Anniversary which just arrived 2 weeks ago.

Always fun to get those special watches, congrats again.

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 wear to school 
I said to him to go back to his box and start rotating those but when he is good, he can wear my GP to school.
However, I think he has something else in mind....

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 slow down and enjoy what we have.
Cheers Jurry, looking forward to seeing your new VC soon, exciting!
