Would look great on your wrist, CL!

The relatively wide bezel on the Dato makes the face look small and makes the watch "wear small" for a 39mm piece as compared to the Observatoire at 38mm.

You can never tell -- someday that Dato could be yours!

Best,

Gary

Outstanding pictures and a very enjoyable read Gary.

Appreciate your post, Edward

I really do consider my wearing impression posts as conversations more than as formal reviews.  Basically I just start with the perspective of thinking about what others might want to know about this piece, and make a long list of likes and potential reservations!

Thanks for your note.

Best,

Thanks matey for the excellent photos and user report

I will not get distracted the next time!!

I personally am not bothered by whether it is 2.5 or 3 Hz, as long as I works, and conceptually explainable.

Till I get one, I shall not be able to share in your joys of ownership. But at least I have this post to read!

Best,

Horo

As always, thanks!

Appreciate your weighing in here.  I wore the DS again today, and the heat and humidity of Seoul (and mandated reductions in air conditioning to save energy) finally led me to roll up the sleeves on my dress shirt (a once-a-decade occurrance, if that).  Spent the rest of the afternoon stealing glances!  Can't recommend this one too highly.

Somehow I don't really care about 3 Hz anymore...

All the best,

Gary G

Excellent review of this great watch. I wish it had a coaxial pusher for the split second

It has a lot going for it, though I prefer my Dato. Who knows what Lange reserves for us in the future

Coaxial pusher would be quite interesting

...and would leave that little spot at 10 o'clock on the case for the pusher for the Big Date... smile

Best,

Well done, Gary.

Thanks for the interesting and most informative write-up. Love the DS, and the Dato. 

Thanks, Davo

It is bringing me a lot of pleasure to have both of them!

Best,

Gary

and posts like this are one of the reasons why I love to be a Purist!

Thanks a lot, for sharing with us!

Oliver

ps: Welcome back from heaven smile

Thank you for the kind words, Oliver!

...and for the welcome back from Heaven.  Good news seems to be that the greater gravity here on Earth doesn't seem to be bothering me with regard to the mass of the DS.

Best,

Gary
