I really admire
people who can wear watches of all sizes and perhaps I am too rigid in my ways (I know I am!) but a watch has to suit my wrist. I find too many people are so nuts about watches that they will buy a beautiful looking watch which may not necessarily fit their wrist but due to their love for the watch, they would not prioritise the fitment of the watch on their wrist. I respect that we are all different with different priorities but I believe from previous posts, our friend Musigny, is one who does care about the size of a watch against his wrist.
Shall I sell my only ALS to fund a Lange 1?
Guys, as you may notice I always admire the design and story of ALS, unfortunately most of their watches wear a tad too big on my skinny wrist (due to their case diameter and lugs design). Therefore I went for a 35mm Saxonia in Feb this year and I am stil...
I WOULD get a Lange 1 if possible. (Disclosure-I have one.)
Given your choices, if it was me I'd let the Moser go-but I have a very strong attachment to Lange. May I suggest you pay attention to what you wear the most over the next month or 6 weeks and use the other one to fund the L1.
Hello!
I would sell the Moser and buy the Lange 1. Please do not sell the Saxonia because at 35mm it fits your wrist perfectly, a lot better than the Moser. I wear a 34.6mm Patek and after a month, I am still finding it difficult to get accustomed to my 38.8mm M...
Size doesnt matter, its all in the mind......to quote SheWhoMustBeObeyed, reassuringly :)-
my smallest watch is only 16mm Omega and biggest is 60mm Panerai.....i wear them all with equal enthusiasm. best, Horo

The Saxonia looked perfect on your wrist
A timeless dress watch. I'd let the Moser free to fund the Lange 1. Pre-owned for pre-owned.
Would let the Moser go
If size is important to you. Plus, how cool it is to own two Lange.
When you ask question like this,
you probably have already had the answer. 😁 Follow your heart.
Dear Nigel
We always discussed about this arbitrage together and, between your Saxonia and Moser, you should let go the Moser in my opinion. You bought your Saxonia very recently and you still love it. You want the L1 (that's obvious) what I fully understand. Size i...
Dear Alkiro, thank you for your input.
Decision becomes difficult because both the Saxonia and Moser are my new acquisitions. Even though the Moser is bigger on the paper it still fits my wrist and I also love and enjoy wearing it. I may end up having two dressy Lange in my collection if I sel...
Dear Nigel,
May be you'll have two Lange in your collection if you sell your Moser and buy the "little" L1 but both this last one and your Saxonia are so different (both dressy as you said but the L1 as a much more sporty look for me and it's more versatile). Of cour...
To make your choise easier ;-)
www.watchprosite.com My wifes 36mm L1 in platinum. A wonderful watch! Go for it. Br, Dirk
Lange 1
Is one of the most desirable watches among this forum! Go for it! What you sell to fund it unfortunately will have to be your decision to make
you are posting in the Lange forum :)
Thus most people would say keep the Lange. I would agree with Padj, just check which you use more and sell the one you wear least. Good luck on your hunt for a Lange 1. I almost pulled the trigger on a white gold/ blue hands before but hesitated. I then s...
Thanks Benz, the problem is...
I am testing my preference with "pre-Lange 1" status. The reason I would wear my Saxonia more often now is because I don't own a Lange 1 yet. The Saxonia might get very little wrist time after my Lange 1 acquisition?
that is a possibilty
so when you buy the Lange 1, if the Saxonia gets less wrist time then maybe its time to sell it? After that get a PP5711?
Although keeping the Saxonia
may seem like the majority choice, it is ultimately which two of the three watches you love most - ie the Saxonia v the Lange 1 v the Moser?And if you conclude that you love and desire all three equally then I would normally score each watch out of ten un...
I will keep the saxonia
i got the same problem as you before, but my choice was to sell my saxonia to finance 1815 chronograph which was soon discontinued. But in the end i keep it since it is my first lange (and because of some unexpected fresh disposable income). But i can tel...
Tough decision for sure
I understand your plight! Disclaimer: I own a Lange 1. I probably wouldn't let fit dictate your decision unless the wrist sizing is egregious! That being said, go with what makes you feel good and gets you excited. Were I to make the decision, I'd sell th...
I would sell the saxonia
Since it's really dressy and I doubt u will wear it much after getting the Lange 1.. also I would also avoid being so overweight on Lange and having a "diversified portfolio" of makers make more sense to me now.. also just go for the 38.5mm... if I recall...
Other things to consider are :
- dial Color : black wears smaller - bezel thickness - thinner bezels, all else being equal wears bigger.. so I feel tat the little Lange could wear as large as the 38.5.. - 36mm small by today's standard could be illiquid, if u eventually want to let it ...
Don't sell Moser unless you do not like it anymore
As far as 2nd hand market is concerned Moser watches usually are sold at a very steep discounts. And if you love your Moser and sell it - you might want to buy the watch again, that will be frustrating for the wallet. At the same time I strongly do not re...
I'm gr8 in doing what you're trying to do...
Have bought & sold a few in less than a year... My few cents, you like both Saxonia & Moser - keep both & work for the Lange 1 36mm (I'm sure you'll find it, it is not rare). Godspeed Nigel ! Best, mahesh.,
You could sell them both! :)
I think most folks would who owned a Saxonia would wear it far less frequently if they then bought a Lange 1. Would you really wear the Saxonia after buying the Little Lange 1? Sounds like you're questioning that. If I had to choose, I'd sell the Saxonia ...
Depending on watch budget (if budget is unlimited you can do whatever you want)
I personally would try to keep the collection as diverse as possible. That way you really strap on a different watch when you pick one from your collection. So I would keep the Moser and flip the Saxonia if you really want a Lange 1.
