simple fix?
Oct 25, 2019,23:55 PM
if the links can be easily removed, could we not purchase 2 of the third links (the narrower ones) and replace the first two tapered (wider) links and achieve the same effect as in the photoshopped pic? if that's possible it would be a simple solution and i for one, would do it!

I'm scratching my head...

...with this new ALS offering. Didn't post earlier since the design is still marinating somewhere in my brain. I like the concept, the pushers, the day/date, water resistance, all in steel. The design itself...I'm not sure yet. I think it will grow on me....
Because it’s ugly

If your eyes need to adjust to it, and then your brain needs to make comparisons with other watches, then it doesn’t really speak to the heart... at least that’s how I approach this thing called a passion.
Ugly is subjective...

Well, if I have to logic it out, then it's not art, at least not for me.
No worries...

Like the other photoshop picture with the balanced ears on the left, it looks funny. 12 years in the making so I’m sure hundreds if not thousands of drawings and combinations for selection by some authorities. Someone shared this comparison and it also no...
Absolutely!

I’ll take the one on the right in a heartbeat ! Now that would’ve been a “sporty” Lange ... But 12 years to design this ? Maybe the movement, but come on , it’s a topical Lange case sans the pushers , and a plain bracelet... Lange I don’t believe you ;-))...

Lugs
By: hackingseconds : October 26th, 2019-01:38
Lange uses a more “traditionally-designed” lugs for this sports model. The bracelet should have a disconnect, much like Rolex’s. The Nautilus and the RO do not use the same design language/ layout when it comes to their lugs, therefore they can take on a ...
I like it a lot!

They did right, otherwise it would be more or less a „regular“ Lange, but in steel. It‘s always the same: People need time to get used to it. It‘s a very, very nice watch and I will go for it! Best Tempus
As I ponder this watch
By: watch-er : October 26th, 2019-06:40
the only thing I really do not like is the day complication, in two letters, to the left. Too cluttering in my opinion. I would also have put the date window at 6 instead of 3. Everybody puts the date at 3. Boring and so 1970s.
The watch itself is not heavy physically...

it’s a challenging project so we’ll see. Remember the 40th anniversary Nautiluses? How many negative comments about the words on the dial but then now it’s almost tripled, the words “wow”, “grail”, “beauty” all came out from nowhere...bunch of hypos 🤷🏻♂️...
Jay you are so wrong
By: GreatPilot@me.com : October 27th, 2019-17:14
No disrespect but I have a 6.75 inch wrists and the 5976 fits it fine, not small but since it’s the ONLY 44mm Nautilus in the world there are plenty of watch collectors that would die for it as the 40mm is rather small...Jim
Totally agree with you John.

In the end of the day, most creations won't become icons...and for good reasons.

I won’t be the first few waves for sure as those will be for their VVIPs 😂 Anthony De Haas mentioned in some videos delivery will start in Nov so I’m hoping early next year for me. Thanks John.
People really get what they asked for?
By: Clueless_Collector : October 27th, 2019-18:03
1300 pcs is quite a lot but then this watch collecting has become a new asset class, investment vehicle and no longer a hobby. Good for you and I’ll be honest Im happy if my watches appreciate like that, it sure works for the next generation as heirlooms....
Lange Lugs are Lovely...
By: Esharp : October 26th, 2019-20:04
...so why hide them? I’d agree with your idea to straighten out the last three rows of links on this bracelet so it goes in between the lugs, allowing them to shine. Lange already has good form in this - look at the bracelets made for the 1 and Datograph ...
