great pix
SJX! A joy to view!
I don't own one but I have tried on one and I have to agree with you, it's a really 'thick' and 'hefy' watch. For a brief moment I had it on me my wrist, the mass is too much for me, however I cannot deny it's beautiful presence. I'm happy with my Dato .. for now that is

More Double Split...
Continuing with my photography practice with more photos of the Lange Double Split in platinum... This message has been edited by SJX on 2010-10-08 09:08:49...
I see that your photographic skills are coming along.......
In "leaps & bounds" They are stunning photos. Thank you for posting them. If I may ask a favour? Would you plesae place a couple of photos of the Double Split in action i.e all hands showing. Thank you.
Stunning pictures SJX
It must be a pleasure to improve your photograph skills on this kind of movement! BtW if you work with a larger F (aperture) you should be able to get a more clear movement in term of focusing?
Yes, I would think so
Alternatively I can do several photos and merge them. But I like the shots with a shallow DOF, rather than have everything perfectly sharp. - SJX
Very very nice SJX
Thanks for sharing the photos, and congratulations on what is a holy grail to many Lange fans! Wear it always in the best of health! Stephen
MIGHTY sharp...
pictures on what is one of the SHARPEST watches out there.... Thanks for sharing a perhaps sometimes overlooked technological marvel from the House of Lange. Am assuming it wears well on the wrist due to its huge presence but wondering how it is after a f...
Well I like the size and weight BUT
according to the lucky SOB who owns the watch, it can be too heavy to wear for extended periods. Sadly only the lucky SOB has the opportunity to wear it for extended periods. - SJX
does not get much better.
Great photography. I just landed a platinum Dato and love it. To me it is the worlds most beautiful Chrono. But i suspect i'm preaching to the choir. I tried on a double split over the holidays. It is a truly outrageously beautiful watch.
What's this thing people have about heavy watches?
I don't get it. I'm no Schwarzenegger, but I have some way-heavy watches. My Omega Planet Ocean on bracelet is 220g all up - that's gotta be heavier than the Double Split. Most Panerais (even on leather straps) would be the same weight or heavier. I never...
It's probably because it's on a strap
I am pretty sure that the DS weights more than 220, sans strap and buckle. The Datograph is already about 140-150g so the DS should be well above 220g, but the main reason I would think is the concentration of weight in the head of the watch. Getting a pl...
Something I have been wondering actually...
being a fan of all things Lange. Don't suppose that a lot of PT bracelets have been sold as they do add a LOT more weight onto already substantial watches, but to each his own... Having said that, wondering if the addition of said bracelet would really so...
Weight is one thing, the cost...
Lange platinum bracelets are extremely expensive. They add 30-40% to the retail of the Datograph for example. I won't go into whether that is justified, but it is undeniably costly. - SJX
The Dato in PT with leather strap costs ...
49.400 Euro, the PT Dato with PT bracelet costs 82.400 Euro according to the latest, soon to be replaced, brochure. That is a 33.000 Euro difference, approx 67% of the Dato MSRP Costly indeed :-D Edwin
... but it feels
good on the wrist ... Yes, it was heavy, but not to heavy Just tried it once. The look of the watch changes completely, not bad - different. Cheers Oliver...
