nothing wrong with the newer version and one has to say it has a superior movement. However, I just like the original more.

39mm or 41mm datograph which one to get?
By: rip9er : May 27th, 2019-08:02
I’m in the market for a datograph and I’m torn between the older 39mm and the current 41mm with power reserve. Can anyone provide me some in site on wearability and collectibility?
I prefer the older version in many ways.

Hard statement to make - the newer one is still an AL&S, awesome movement, etc. But the purity of the original wins out for me. The new one really looks like a very different watch with the PR. When I hear or read "Datograph", I never think of the cur...

Had the same dilema 2 months ago

Went for the first version. Despite liking both and knowing the movement in the newer version is better, I made a non typical decision. The original version was the one that got me into a lange. Both are great timepieces, I have nostalgic feeling for this...
I was also torn between these 2 versions

The first one is Iconic and mostly prefered. The weight and the positionning on my wrist was too bad to thinking it should be a daily wearer to me. I tested about 7 times and always failed. The new version fits better, much better I have to admit but I do...

But I went for the 41mm. I was in your same position a few years ago, choosing between the 39mm, the 41mm, and (since I was in the neighborhood) the Double Split. I ended up with the 41mm for one simple reason: it is the more wearable of the three for me ...

Like many of us, I believe that the watch to get is the first version. Now if we look at some pros and cons, we could say: the 41mm looks a bit more slender its style is a bit purer due to the removal of the numerals the overall balance has been kept (cou...
As a daily wearer......

You'd really have to strongly consider the current version. As much as I like the original, within a week I want to change over to something else as the top heaviness does get to you. With that being said I'm guess many datograph owners wear their watch i...
Yes platinum. The rose gold version is not nearly as heavy.........

And a better daily wearer from what I can remember having it on a few times over the years. I will say as a close comparison, the original white gold 1815 chrono is very comfortable to wear. I actually enjoy wearing it more than the Datograph. Tony

No question in my mind. Having spent time with the up/down, and owning the original - there is little to no comparison for me. The applied roman numerals, balance and harmony of the dial, texture of the dial, wrist presence and historical significance to ...

I readily admit that the new version has all the merits of an improved watch. - PR is longer, and visible on the dial - Weight is spread better across the wrist, also slimmer - 41mm more contemporary, and arguably better for the hefty wristed among us I c...
