First Series Datograph - first impressions
So.....my watch has been on my wrist now for a few weeks. I have now sent it off to service. First time back in 10 years since being made. But after a few weeks, I can offer at least some first impressions. 1) At 39mm, it is almost a perfect size for my t...
So glad to hear you are indeed enjoying it.
Hopefully, you will continue to do so. Especially since I was rooting for you to go down the Lange road.
Good first impressions there
I believe the inner sapphire is antireflection coated which gives a clear look upon the dial. Overall a very intricate watch that conveys this fact immediately to the spectator.
It is when you feel the miss that you know how much you love it. No doubt that you will miss it a lot.
One of the best and finest chronographs, in my opinion. Best, Nicolas
No question....
.....i have learnt over a prolonged period.... that my gut instinct can be wrong. A part of that is my own professional training. Whereas many are trained not to be wrong, i am trained to expect be wrong and then recognise that....its counter-intuitive.
Excellent points
Lovely watch...one of finest chronos ever! What I like for no concrete reason is Flyback written on dial...top banana this one Congrats once more Best D P.S. Sending it for service is another token of real love
Good to know the initial impressions are good....
will the weight cause an imprint on the wrist? Item 7) Annual Calendar? I'm a little confused... I heard the Spa service from ALS is great and the watch will return pristine, will be nice to know then. Congrats again and I hope you're feeling better and r...
questions....
.....not sure about imprint on the wrist. I think I get that from any watch that I wear. I love teh feeling of heaviness. Annual calendar chrono..... I find teh complication odd. A chrono is a sports function. Pairing it with an annual calendar seems an o...
This Datograph is an Annual Calendar Chrono?
I thought it's just a pure Chrono with Date function? I'm also debating my exit watches, about getting a complication "chrono + PC" or just pure chrono and a pure PC.
I actually didn't describe it as annual calendar chrono....
.......but I was trying to make the point that I don't do complications with chronos at all....but if i did it would be perpetual. So, the Datograph is very much a complication that goes against some of my rules.
That is one hell of a watch Joe...
My favourite actually! I hope it will bring you as much satisfaction as it bring me!
Thanks for sharing this! I hope you continue to love it! It took me about 12 years to warm up to the idea of a Dato...
I never liked the look of it much, but seeing it in yellow gold spurred a change of heart. NOW I get it, and I can appreciate it much more in all metals. I'm curious, what's your buckle situation -- deployant or tang?
Very excited to hear about your service experience!
Which service center shall be responsible for the care? Please share the results!
If this turns out to be your only Lange
you could hardly have done better. One of two or three icons.
Agree with each and every point of your list...
If only it would have been cmfortable on my wrist, I would have kept mine with immense pleasure. A simply wonderful chrono, a piece of art...! Enjoy yours and wear it in the best of health my friend ! Mike
Beautiful watch! but...
When I had the dato, just released it, I found it too top heavy. I really prefer the dimensions of the journe centigraph. 40mm wide, under 10mm thick.
funny how tastes differ....
.....it is its heaviness and depth that attract me. Whereas I find the Journe Centigraph too unbalanced by the subdials.
Do you wear it on a tang buckle?
When I tried the platinum datograph,I got the impression it had be worn as tight as possible. ( Definitely not too tight ) Best, Ahmed
