Congratulations, Craig...
...on your latest acquisition. This is a truly beautiful timepiece, with an exceptional movement. The dial color is also breathtaking. The watch face presents a lot of information all at once, but I think the layout is successfully compartmentalized, so that even someone like me, who does not have any complicated watches can comprehend the dial.
You have an enviable collection. Enjoy your new watch.
Cheers,
Daos
If its good enough for Philippe Dufour, its good enough for me . . .
I have always loved the Lange Datograph. However, at 39mm, it is smaller than I prefer (and it wears small). Likewise, I have always loved the Langematik Perpetual, but it is 0.5mm smaller than the Datograph. Thus, I have admired both pieces from a far. A...
Well, Craig, will you stop one day?
Wow, another heavy piece in your collection, my friend. I perfectly understand what you mean, about the Dato and the Perpetual Calendar. I chose the Dato, as the size didn't ( doesn't ) disturb me at all. And if I didn't already own a perpetual calendar (...
There are three certainties in life: death, taxes, and . . .

Craig: If You Ever Need Someone to Baby Sit Your Collection I'm Your Man!
To quote the master himself, "ka ching"! Wear it in the best of health. Mark
Congrats Craig
The watch looks great. I, too, much prefer this dial. I have found Lange to be a company that consistently over delivers. Every time I see one I am pleasantly surprised by the quality. As someone who also often buys watches "sight unseen", this is a very ...
very very nice Craig
i fully agree with you about the white dial/platinum insipid look. i felt the same with the Zeitwerk. they make a beautiful watch in platinum case and them put a monotone dial on it that just blends with the case. it makes no sense. the black dial of the ...
Your high drama always includes a nice reward.
The pictures are spectacular, and the combo of the dial and case is suberb. Hats off to you Craig. The JLC, AP, and now this... you have a stable of horological monsters.
That's superb.
Saw it at the SIHH and defenitely it was my fav dial. The new color is simply perfect. Congratulations on that piece. Love it! Thanks for sharing. Vte
Ah, that is not good enough for me
Without a doubt, it is a high quaity time piece in terms of its finish on its case and movement but I personally feel that the layout of the dial is too busy and cramped. Regards Ling
Congratulations Craig its a beautiful timepiece...............
I too agree with your sentiments, regarding the dial colour. It does appear to be more easier to read then the Platinum model. Which is a bonus, because I have always believed, that the dial is not the most easiest to read, especially the leap year indica...
Congratulations Craig!
Btw, did you ever consider the Lange Double Split as another option? Or passed on it because it didn't have the Big Date complication? Cheers, Anthony
Spectacular Watch, Craig! Enjoy, I have a question....
Craig, Where do you keep the watch when you are not wearing it? In a safe, a winder, in the presentation box. I have watches coming out of everywhere. I enjoy wearing them, looking at them, polishing them and learning from them. I often wonder what other ...
Wow Craig, this is a superb acquisition !
Dial, movement, complications : the kind of watch that makes me dream. Thanks for sharing Craig and enjoy this beauty... Emmanuel
Congrats on yet another stunning watch!
Looks like it was well worth the wait. I can't wait to see it in person!
Congratulations, Craig...

BIG Congrats Craig!
Wow! What a piece you've acquired! superb! I truly understand your preference over the duller perp! And of course, that '3D' movement, I never got tired admiring it. If I haven't owned 2 patek perps and dato, I'd probably go for this piece! If only they m...
Excellent pick up Craig!
Please, wear this always in the best of health! Perfect watch indeed, by the God of watchmakers! Cheers Stephen
Beautiful! Congratulations!
A signature piece from a signature brand. I don't believe Philippe Dufour has the exact model; my impression was that he had a normal Datograph without the perpetual complication. Enjoy the watch!
Congratulations
Craig: Congratulations on your new watch. I hope you enjoy it and wear it in the best of health. It is a really fantastic watch in that color combination. Mark
Well done Craig....
I got mine around the same time (in Asia). It's a gorgeous watch, and definitely my favorite among my current portfolio. You took the words out of my mouth. Best Sam
You and Sam are driving me crazy...
