ALS Datograph, Rolex 1019......
.......these are both watches that one "always intends to buy".....but more often than not there is a more pressing project to play. Honestly, I am not sure I will move any further in the ALS direction as this one is the only want that has ever really grabbed me, but I am indeed happy to have finally made it work.
I feel that I need to focus attention more on my major projects!!
My first ALS - First Series Datograph
I am not going to say anyting other than I was Vlad'd in Zagreb. The Datograph is the one ALS that could get me...and it did. ...
I'll repeat myself
congratulations again and I totally understand why you got Vlad'ed. Now, show is the backside! CC
Same for me too.
But hunting one at a reasonable price and condition is hard. Cheers PAt
to be fair.....
......once i had decided, it needed to be quick. I got this for the right price for the condition.
This is the stuff Heroes are made of!
I dream of the exact entrance into AL&S. They make many beautiful watches, but the only one I have ever wanted is a first gen Dato. It is their Icon for me. HUGE Congratulations!
When you begin something, you not go in for half measures LOL ;-)
Huge congratulations again for this true gem. Best wishes Alkiro
You're on a row!!
Congrats Joe, Dato is King in my books, other Langes might have more charm but this one just rules them all! You should try some straps, he loves to be dressed up and down!
This is what am talking about.
And I think I might look for a nice yellow tan or even green.. ...
on my shortlist as well...!
amazing piece and congratulations! enjoy and please keep posting early impressions and thoughts as the honeymoon progresses!
i will.....
....i am very interested how it compares with others. As a general rule, I don't mox chronos. No annual calendars in my stable. If i was going to mix, it would be perpetual calendar...so this really was a tangent. One of my close friends gives it a year b...
Philippe Dufour will be proud of you !
It is the reference in chronograph according to him and one of the watches he wears most ! I believe that says a lot about this piece of art ! Huge congrats my friend, it is definitely a wonderful piece ! Wear it in the very best of health Mike
That poison sure is strong enough to make you get it so quickly...congratulations!
It will be very interesting to see how this Dato fare against your other icon 5070P. Rgds Raymond
I am curious about that particular playoff....
.....i think i need to think about it in other terms. Very few....(well, none actually) have compared well for me in the past as I see the 5070P as my favourite chronograph of any manufacturer...and given that I have owned it for over 8 years, and it took...
It looks really good on you!
You waited patiently to get it...I just made myself laugh Congrats Mr. Pt Cheers D
A huge congratulations, my dear friend.
Wear it in the best of health. I am glad that you have finally decided to listen to Mrs. Baron (baroness?) sage advice. Welcome to the club and now +1 in the 'shared watches' category. Which means you obviously have exquisite taste.
I am guessing it must mean that!
Many thanks......i needed some tipping over the edge.
Glad to be of service.
The problem is, now I am waiting for the reciprocity to kick in.
What took you so long to arrive at Lange?
Congratulations to the most beautiful watch voted by German connoisseurs! Hopefully more will find into your collection too.

Zagreb claiming its first victim!
I see you have joined the dark side, i.e. German watchmaking. If it makes you feel better, Glashütte is close to a region called Saxonian Switzerland. Land of Karl May and ALS Congratulations on a great addition to your collection!
Uhhhmmmm...i am not so sure I was the first victim....
......i know of three before me!
I was a victim in another way...
A much less fun way. But a shot of P15 makes everything better.
I got close to buying the dato in platinum
More than once,But always couldn't pull the I know if I am ever buying A.Lange this is going to be it. I am always concerned to know how the owners fell about wearing it for a long time on the wrist,It a bit top heavy,At least that's what I think. Let's ...
Thank you
That post-honeymoon phase is what I am waiting for. I know exactly what you mean about pulling the trigger. Quite a few watches fall into that category for me. Rolex 1019 for example.
Great catch, Baron,
but now, you put the finger in the gear. Wear it in good heath. Nino
Ok. Here's the challenge......
I am SO convinced that nobody on this planet can Vlad me into a second ALS that I am prepared to offer a bonus. All expense dinner for two at La Tour d'Argent in Paris if anyone Vlad's me into a second ALS. As lovely as I think the first series Dato is (a...

Lange Chronographs are all amazing piece of art and engineering. Double split is out of this world
