This one has completely monopolised my wrist time.

The highly polished bezel creates an optical illusion of it blending with my wrist. Trying a B/W shot with red accents remaining. I'm having too much fun with this one! ...  

Thank you for the kind words my friend!

Hope you had a great celebration yesterday!

The party is still going on!

That's the way to go!

Yep! ;)

I'm spending way too much time with this watch!

Thank you for the kind words Chronometer!

I have been trying a number of strap variations, and a few others are on the way as I'm typing this. The madness has to stop!

I wouldn’t take it off either!

Glad you are enjoying your prized acquisition.

Thank you Houstonian!

Indeed! My better half has been asking me if I will be selling my other watches.... Very scary!

Thank you Aperna!

Indeed, the beauty of Lange just begs several pictures to be taken. I really enjoy your photos as well!

Thank you Darrony!

Indeed! The amazing thing is that the watch takes on a completely different personality with a different strap. Very versatile.

+1 with special emphasis.

A haunting dream watch/combo. Cheers Marc

Thank you Marc!

I'm having fun with the various strap combinations!

Thank you my friend!

 
 By: Rhyzen : December 19th, 2021-05:09
I am in total agreement that the strap brought out the best of the Datograph Perpetual. The original brown strap from Lange didn't cut it for me.

Great pics!👍👍👍

... especially the first one, showing the nice creamy, off-white, vintage-y colored dial with red and blue accents! Enjoy!!

Thank you Diracpoint!

The dials by Lange are exceptionally well-made, and takes on different personalities under different lighting conditions. The color accents does indeed help to break the monochromatic nature.

I love this reference!

Great photos too.

Thank you Chromatic Fugue!

 
 By: Rhyzen : December 19th, 2021-05:14
I was won over by this reference as well. Had the fortune of viewing all dial variations in person before finally deciding on this!

A grail like this, I would too. Enjoy!

You are too kind my friend!

It's definitely a dream come true for me, still in the honeymoon period!

Great pic

Classy watch.

Thank you Sschew!

 
 By: Rhyzen : December 19th, 2021-05:15
Very, very grateful to have this classic reference indeed.

I can completely understand this, Rhyzen!

And it will perhaps take some efforts to change this gem to another watch of your collection again. This Lange is a marvel. It has a beautiful dial, a fantastic movement AND really useful functions. Enjoy it to the max. And you should think about what you... 

Thank you for your kind words Thomas!

Indeed, this watch has exceeded all my expectations. I was honestly feeling a little bit jaded after this long journey in watch collection, and did not expect to feel this way. My wife have been bugging me on whether my other watches are still required...... 

My pleasure! 😊

I am rather interested how your watch journey will proceed. When I found my REAL grails I parted with quite a lot of my watches. Why? Because I always had a bad feeling and “guilty conscience” not to wear them. So I forced myself to put them on my wrist f... 

I feel exactly the same way as you my friend.

 
 By: Rhyzen : December 20th, 2021-15:07
My outlook has evolved over the years, and now it boils down to a simple philosophy that I wish I had the wisdom to understand earlier: a watch on the wrist should bring pleasure, and if I feel pressure instead, that piece has to go. I was inspired by you...  

I completely understand you.

And it’s the beauty of this passion that we are allowed to develop and evolve our taste. My experience is that I don’t want to care of any themes or logic. I just buy what I feel true and unlimited passion for. And if I have the slightest doubt, I don’t b... 

Words of wisdom my friend!

 
 By: Rhyzen : December 20th, 2021-23:35
I am in complete agreement. Plastic-wrapped watches hidden in safes: that's just so sad.

You definitely do my friend!

More pictures of your beautiful 410.038 please!

Thank you Champ!

My wife has complained that I pay more attention to this than her.
