Lange & Sohne Datograph Platinum, 1st Generation.
THE Icon.
Ok, not the most comfortable one to wear, but what a character!

This is a difficult one for me.
Not the watch, it's iconic and gorgeous
as you say. Well, you said iconic and
I added gorgeous. There have been times
where I'm infatuated with a piece and try
to convince myself that after I have it for
a while it will feel comfortable on my wrist.
I tried it with the Richard Lange with the
big sweep second. Didn't happen and I
had a hard time saying farewell, but I did.
I imagine others had a similar experience.
Well, a bit like a capricious sports car. Its flaws are the reason why we love them.... Or not.
It's ridiculous how many times I've tried on the Richard Lange...
trying to persuade myself that, maybe, this time I'll find that it wears okay on my wrist. It just doesn't!
Sometimes I wonder if they
shouldn’t have kept the Roman numerals in the following versions.
Before I read your comment I wanted to ask if it is comfortable for you. But then I saw it. Did you try it on a deployant buckle?
I guess why the 1815 Chronograph didn’t become an icon. Much lighter and comfortable.
Maybe because it was released after the dato.
I like the counterweight of the folding clasp. For me it works very well, even the clasp is not the most comfortable one
Seen it, never worn it....
The current generation wears very well...I didn't expect it to wear so well on my wrist. For some reason the larger Lange pieces seem to agree well with my wrist...LOL
