Yep, this is the only kind of regret I have
I joke about all kinds of watch collecting regrets but the truth is that I never feel any real regret at watches that I overpaid for, or that I missed out on, and when I've regretted a purchase, that's fixed when I sell or trade it away. The only real regrets are ones I owned and gave up too easily.
Here's my Lange regret to match yours:
"Regrets? I have a few..."
I should never have sold my beautiful pink gold, gen. 1 Datograph. A short post - nothing more to be said. Other than: happy 25th birthday to a modern legend. aviya. ...
Beauty...
...but we do what we do when we do it for a reason. It's too easy to beat yourself up about things like this...
Yes, that's true mdg.
In my case, it's more just a pang of sadness than beating myself up - but I take your point.

If you don't mind sharing, I enjoy hearing about the thought process.
Yeah, true Gary: they're on the market.

As watch collectors
We all likely have similar stories of the onea we should not have let go of…
Love this light dial beauty!
A nice change from the black dial. I have missed tune two watches I have sold, but some watches despite liking them weren't right for me.
You're right: one of a comparable few argente dial Lange chronographs.
Fair enough: I've released pieces that weren't right for me too. But my hand was forced on selling this one...

Very sound analysis, blau.
Ah yes: the 1815 with the Sax-0-mat calibre (really filled the case-back)! A rare and quirky beauty.
It's a historic watch for Lange
Happy B-Day to the Datograph...really put Lange's name on the watchmaking map again when it was launched.
