Ah, the dream of a sporty Lange watch

(I know it is hearsay but I don’t believe making a sports chic watch in the future should be ignored by the great house of Lange.)
I like the look. I am very partial to mesh styles.
Also I would love to see how your Lange would look on one of those Wellendorf beads-of-rice bracelets made in the early 2000s.

A new look...

More and more, I felt like this particular watch would look really cool on a steel shark mesh bracelet. That's because of the semi-transparent dial: Seeing gears, discs, and plates says "tool watch" (sort of) to me, and I kept having these "metal begets m...

It would indeed be interesting to see it. I'm not a huge fan of the solid straight bar at the end of that bracelet, near the watch head, and the polished links may look too blingy for me. That still wouldn't stop me from trying it on, though.
I would love to see it if you get it!

I have failed in my attempt to get a Dato that comes with the Wellendorf bracelet. I was looking at a vintage dealer in Tokyo who sells vintage style SS Gay Freres bracelets and the pictures look nice. But it is the straight end styles too. I think I am o...
It looks terrific.

This is a look that only slowly grew on me. Way back when I thought Langes on bracelets looked too rich; and too different, I guess. Made for alligator. And I still object to RG and YG on a bracelet. But the platinum works-maybe because it's white. Steel ...

Also, you now are most certainly in possession of the only example of this wonderful piece on a steel mesh bracelet that we know of. Nothing wrong with example 1 of 1! And while it might be a more unusual strap/bracelet match with a Lange, at the end of t...
I like the combination.

I'm not sure this is the right bracelet though. You need something more refined. (Although I have no idea what that would be).
