Both great. I have a huge fascination for the Dato first generation. What a watch! An icon. THE Icon.
I recently asked you guys for advice on which material to buy for the 1815 Chronograph (current model) and the early Datograph. I ended up not choosing pink gold, but WG and P.
both great ＆ A strong presence The platinum Datograph is heavy and will sink down. The Dato has a D-buckle and the 1815 has a pin buckle. The Dato is heavy, but I find its rugged weight very comfortable. The 1815 dial, which glows blue depending on the li...
If they make reverse panda 1815, it’s game over for me.
Been trying to decide between Patek 5170 and 1815 Chronograph for awhile now.
Congrats to these superb watches.
They are watches that look great in any metal colour. Both look good on your wrist. 👍
That’s an amazing 1-2 combo.
I’ve long been thinking about adding one of these, particularly now that prices on the plat dato have come down to a level where the difference between the two is manageable. I’ve not been able to try either of these on, and both will have their pro’s and...
A tough call without trying one.
As you might've seen, some wearers find the Gen1 PT Dato to be top-heavy, while others have no issue. I think it depends upon what you're used to. If this would be the heaviest, thickest watch you've owned, then you'll likely notice it, and it may bother ...
Thanks for chiming in. I’ve been wearing my Cornes de Vache this week and I love the relative slimness (just under 11mm). Same with the 5172, which is just under 11,5mm.
I don’t have many options to try on these Langes near me. Traveling to Japan soon, let’s see if we can work something out.
Congratulations on your new really stunning A. Lange & Sohne watches.
My favourite of the two would be the 1815 Blue dial as I just find the cleaner and simpler looking dial more appealing to me but both are truly special and beautiful. Wear and enjoy them in good health. Marc
Fantastic !
I too used to love the weight of my Dato; and even though I’m very much been on the lighter weighted watch train in recent years I do from time to time miss that heft of platinum (and the fantastic Dato). You have a really great pair in those two; and per...
What a brilliant duo, anaroKu - congratulations again.
Terrific photos too - seeing them side-by-side makes me better appreciate the unique features of each. The engaging simplicity of the 1815. The strong structure of the Dato. The occasional blue glow on your 1815 is the AR coating on the crystal - I’m no p...
Congratulations
The datograph is such a handsome watch.. wish i could get used to the top heaviness of the case
Heartiest congratulations!
Iconic pair of chronographs, and my personal preference is white metal as well. I've never been bothered by the heft of platinum, and in fact adore that feel!
You chose wisely.
Two versatile and beautiful watches. Love the deployant, too. Congrats!
