Though the current model is nice as well, the older Grand Lange is a true masterpiece of wabi-sabi design, coming across as controlled chaos in a very pleasing way. Agree with you about the 38mm - it just looked dainty on my 7.5-inch wrist. I haven't tried this larger one out, but seeing it on your wrist, I know it would fit me fine. I wish Lange did what others (like FP Journe) do and offer a couple of sizes in these watches.
