Agree and disagree
I think it is valuable to get opinion if on the fence. It doesn't mean he's trying to buy what the crowd favorite is or the hype pieces. Just between these two which look better. I did that recently when buying glasses, I was on the fence and asked my wife which looked better for my face. No harm to ask. If he started by saying which one has better resale (like when I ordered my 911 without sunroof the dealership kept reminding me that option is good for resale- which i didn't care because I don't use sunroof), then I agree- who cares what people think.
OP- the rg zw looks better on you than the zw date.
on the fence
a month ago i have bought my odysseus wg and i really like it, in particular i do appreciate the craftsmanship, it feels like a very high quality watch. so after this i thought i should get another a lange and what came to my mind was zeitwerk or datograp...
wooow....
..interesting, i had already discarded of the date version. and the datograph?
Agree
Better choice. But also a black dial Lange 1. I seem to recall that there is a 39mm. They make a wonderful world traveler but it’s 41mm ...
Honest Peter
To have mannequin wrists is honest information. What is remarkable about the Zeitwerk is its big case. All horology must put into the case, so it became big. Small wrists not made for towers, and i do not understand ALS. Why other watch brands have sleek ...
RG Zeitwerk is beautiful
I see your dilemma...the ZW Date is awesome but quite large. I also wish they had a RG version. I had the opportunity to try the RG ZW and loved it...such a unique and beautiful watch. The RG and black dial combo works very well together. Since you alread...
nice.....
i bought the WG odysseus from a grey dealer. late 2023 model, full set, still stickered and 15% under retail. unclear why a. lange makes such a fuss about the allocations....
No date on this one
Although the implementation of the date is clever, breaking the line of the central piece of Zeitwerk is a no. If you like how the watch sits on your wrist I would not look too much at the photos.
First and foremost who cares what anyone else thinks. Get the piece that speaks to you.
When asking for others’ opinions you are not sure their taste profile. It’s the same thing with art, restaurants, music etc Have confidence in your self not what others think. That said I have been tempted by the Zeitwerk but have not pulled the trigger. ...
+9999999 who cares what anyone else thinks. Get the piece that speaks to you
imho it'd be their chimer. But considering the games ALS / Richemont has been playing with clients, at this time i can't recommend supporting ALS.

I totally understand what you say and in truth I have at times
sought the opinion of friends who I know and share the same esthetic. I know we all do it but I caution generalizing to the public who are unknown to you. Btw shopping for glasses is a totally different experience. I won’t buy a new pair without my wife’s...
Haha true
First thing that came to mind 🤣 my point is that asking for an opinion is not unreasonable. But maybe I'm unreasonable.. who knows🤷♂️
If you have to ask then the answer is probably neither
Glasses seem like a stretched analogy. Unless you make it a point of keeping your sleeves rolled up so everyone can see your watch (or god forbid are a double-wrister)
Photo 3 - great looking watch
Love the Zeitwerk, don’t have the wrists for it though.
I love both of these. And tried this watch many time.
But I think it’s too big for my 6.5 inch wrist. For me, black and rose is such a nice combo. And in either metal, this watch stands out so it’s not a matter of “quiet luxury.” I love the datograph also but this watch is so unique. It would be my preferenc...
I do like the current gen zeitwerk without date. Imho, it‘s got a more balanced dial, a better movement and it‘s slightly slimmer than the previous gens.
It is of course not a standard watch, more acquired taste, but in a good way in my opinion. The reason I do not own a Zeitwerk is, because it‘s too top heavy for my taste. The watch is just too heavy and doesn‘t feel good on my wrist. I do also own a 5170...
Is the rose gold that top heavy?
Platinum can get downright painful to wear but I’d imagine the gold versions are much lighter.
Tried both platinum and rose gold.
For me, the platinum one is unbearably top heavy. The rose gold is a lot less top heavy, but still a lot more than any other watch I have ever owned.
I owned the Up/Down and I’ve tried to buy a ZW for an about a decade.
For me, unless you buy a Lange 1 those two are the pieces to own. I have a 6.25 inch wrist and I wore the Up/Down as a daily pretty much for several years. Try as I may, and believe me I tried a lot, I could never convince myself that the ZW (prior genera...
Zeitwerk rose gold 💯 not the datograph
I would certainly go for the most iconic, high end piece. The Zeitwerk is so unique that has no competition in any collection. The Datorgraph is nice but...not as unique in my opinion. Not as WOW.
thanks to all!
your very thoughtful comments are highly appreciated. i'll report back on how i decide.
It’s always good to have input and then the choice remains with you.
I’d go for the Zeitwerk. I do love the first gen Dato, but the Zeitwerk commands so much respect and attention. When I wear it to other brand’s boutiques they spend more time asking me about it than telling me about their watch! PP was the last one that d...
