Dare I pull the trigger?!

The Lange 1 is my grail. With a little inspiration from Roope, have even more seriously considered selling my BLRO Pepsi and getting the 191.039. The Pepsi is more of an everyday watch, but I also have a Speedy for that. Any advice out there?!!

Follow your heart but remember a grail is always something to hope and wish for.

Go!

The Rolex is not a special watch (almost all modern Rolex are not, IMO)....mass-produced, hyped and seemingly sought after mostly by the "look-at-me" jet set and wannabes. Massive generalization here, of course, and not casting aspersions on anyone on thi...

i think the Pepsi is such an amazing piece that works everywhere, id buy the l1 only if i would not have to let the Pepsi go for it.

the only bad thing with this Rolex is the hype, imo.

You seem fully convinced about the Lange 1, but not as much about selling your Pepsi...in terms of quality it’s obviously a significant upgrade, so I would go for it, but only after convincing myself I won’t miss the Pepsi as an everyday beater👍

“Grail” “In reach” = “Yes go for it” Besides, as our age creeps up, we start to appreciate the more introvert classic elegant design over the bold more extrovert design (not saying they swap I still like a Rolex same as 30 years ago, I just learned to app... 

A L1 is much more a iconic watch from a great brand imho

A Rolex is a great watch but i find the L1 much more special

Watchwise no comparison

Lange is head and shoulders above the Pepsi

Definitely. For me Lange is the manufacturer to beat. I think they are just simply something else. For me better then the holy trinity. Just my view. - it changes regularly!

Re the BLRO, I prefer the pre-ceramic GMTs (1675 and 16710, for example) to the ceramic versions. If you do go for the 191.039, make sure the legibility won't bother you due to the relatively low contrast between the hands and dial. Most people don't have... 

Definitely a yes from me

The Lange 1 is a special watch and you will know it once you put it on your wrist. You definitely won’t regret getting it.
