I agree with your analysis and love the 1815 Chrono. A vintage kind of look in modern form. Absolutely love it. Here is mine.

I’ve admired several Lange pieces over the years, especially from the back. IMO the craftsmanship of the Datograph and Zeitwerk deliver an irresistible combination of precision, engineering and art. But on my wrist they felt a bit thick and unbalanced. Th...  

I also like the look of the big date window on the Datograph, even though I don’t ordinarily like date windows.

You’ve got a great watch! But it just won’t sit right on my wrist. And as Mr. Eastwood said, “A man’s got to know his limitations.”

Thank you kind sir!

Actually, your love for Lange helped to keep me inspired to stay in the hunt until I found the one that suited me best.

Thank you!

Looks like we have a little group here ...  

Nice! The color really pops in your photo.

Congrats on the 1815 chronograph. I think it isn’t a thick watch, it actually sits quite nicely. My wrist is less than 6.5 inches and I own the datograph. So from my perspective the 1815 chronograph is a superb piece to own...an everyday chrono. Fwiw, I l... 

wisely chosen...

Excellent choice

And mln congrats with your acquisition. I like that boutique edition with the light blue.

Thanks! I think I ended up spending more time stalking and researching Lange than any other brand.

Initially I was so in love with the Zeitwerk. At that point I'd only seen photos and read extensive reviews, but never actually tried it on (or any other Lange). So I went to an AD with full intentions to buy one, but it just didn't feel right on my wrist... 

Agreed about the 1815 Chrono and Datograph being virtually the same watch although the 1815 might wear a bit better due to being slimmer...

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : April 19th, 2021-07:43
I understand your point about it as well. Luckily I find the Zeitwerk fits me fine whereas the Datograph was a bit thick and top heavy. With it's protruding caseback, I just could never find it super comfortable and always chose to wear a different watch,... 

Totally agree 👍

Congrats on a great catch!

Saw your post on another thread about the frustrating lack of response and I am glad that didn’t dissuade you from getting this beauty! That is a very fine and wonderful piece! Congratulations! Now the challenge is not to dig yourself deeper into the Lang... 

Super Bill, that’s a big hitter. Congrats.

You’ve got everything you wanted on the movement side from the Dato, but in a better overall package for your wrist. This one is also my favourite of the 1815 Chronos, I’m a sucker for a scale on a chronograph. And most of us have way too many dark dials,... 

Congratulations!

The 1815 Chronograph can definitely hold its own against the Datograph, and I personally prefer the aesthetics and profile of this model as well.

Congratulations !! Awesome piece
