A. Lange & Söhne

walked into a Lange AD. One had his sights set on acquiring his first Lange. The other provided support and was the instigator. The AD had a very good selection in stock and after checking out a few including the new 1815 up/down, Grand Lange 1, double split etc. it whittled down to these four for a final decision.

 

 

 

From
left to right: Datograph Pt. up/down, Timezone Pt, G. Lange Pt., Richard Lange PLM in RG. 

It then came down to two and without too much hesitation the final choice was made. It was a clear winner for him as he was fond of chronos and the Datograph had it all!

I thought I'd share this joyous event with you here.

Which one would you have chosen?

and even nicer when you can share it with a friend

My choice (in this case) would have been the L1 Timezone Pt.

Thanks, for sharing!

I have a new found love for the TZ.

what I have ...



... and what I tried on my wrist - only


(humble version in WG)

Nonetheless, you took a great decision and I hope it will make you happy for a very long time.

Cordially,
Oliver

Actually the TZ was the original choice but the Dato won out in the end.

Its not bad for a first. I'm sure there'll be others.

Fernando that you friends thinks you are addictive

Cordially,
Oliver

that will be my first and last one

 

you are a terrible influence; please don't talk to me about watches again

 

we are better friends when we talk about other "stuff" instead

talk about the other stuff here.

You really think this will be your first & last? Wishful thinking.

as for me.........on the far right under plastic........no hesitation.....but I have my dream chrono already...so ....

that's a wonderful piece....

looking at it too Mo. Such a beautiful enamel dial and the gorgeous backside with the fusee and chain. However, when placed next to 3 platinum pieces, it just somehow came up short in the metals department. In pt. it would have been the clear winner irrespective of the price.

OR the original Datograph.

Best,

And congrats to your friend, as I guess that you were the instigator!

I'm returning the favor as he influenced my acquisition of some Pams.

I wear - and use it - a couple of times each week for cooking, working out, and timing myself over the undefined stretches of my city.

You are absolutely right to say that the DS is a joy, under any circumstance.

This makes it for me at the moment also better bearable not to own it, but knowing that such a fascinating thing is there, somewhere out there.

 

Also to come with people like you and some other here in touch to exchange thoughts and emotions about a little thing in our lives that matters big, somehow.

We should include the DS.

Side by side you can see the difference. It's noticeably bigger.

 

I am quite happy to live with it though.

cheers

The Dato is a seminal piece , even for Lange !

Would have made the very same choice !

Easy choice ! Congrats to your buddy !

and would be my recommendation as well together with the TZ but for a chrono lover the Dato proved irresistible.

as Fernando thinks.....I should get the grand lange 1, TZ and also dato....thus why not get all 3??

 

one can see what kind of "friend" he is......

Here for me the choice is clear and simple. I agree 100% with your friends choice.

Well, I would say a combination of both.

cheers

Was it the size / thickness of the DS that was not to his taste?

 

Moritz

 

The size of the DS is fine; but dato more "friendly" for day to day use

moreover, if i get the DS, then there will be nothing left for me to persue

in addition, i was told that i could be the next owner of fernando's DS!
