Thanks very much for editing and for your response. I must admit I do not know why the paragraphs disappeared as I had entered the text in paragraph form - but now it is so much easier to read.

Thanks for the response. Yeah, the Dato has terrific heft and wonderful to handle. I had a chance to hold the Zeitwerk today when i picked up the Dato. Boy, talk about heft. What a gorgeous watch and so much better in reality than any of the photographs I've seen. Fortunately, too big for my wrist o

Thank you very much for your kind comments. You are right, the power reserve on the Dato is pretty low and is likely one of the reasons I tend to forget to wind it. I think it should be wound every 36 hours or else on is likely to find it has stopped. I am seriously looking at the new Rolex submarin

Just posted this on the Lange forum as well. Some months ago I asked forum members to help me with a problem I was having with my Datograph.

I need some help from members regarding my Pt Datograph. The watch is about 4 years old and I am currently traveling with it. It works perfectly during the day when I have it on but at night when I take it off, it loses time and in the morning is about 10 minutes slow. I have to set the time and ful

If you did not know it was a Patek? If you saw the watch without knowing it was a Patek, would it still appeal to you? For me, unfortunately the answer is that a large part of the reason I bought my Patek was because of the name, presumably because it connoted quality and collectability. In other wo

Thanks all for the posts. I think it might just be for would be buyers to confirm they are buying a platinum watch and not a white gold one. I agree with Eric that it is ridiculous because if this was truly the reason, they should have done it for all platinum cases or none. As I understand it (and
