Indeed..
The first datograph is THE icon, with the roman numerals, cleaner dial without the power reserve indicator.. One wonders though if the 39mm wrist size as compared to the 41mm of the new version makes it more, or less, wearable, since it is thicker and preumably more top heavy?

Datograph's wearability
Hi all, I just posted my incoming very recently, a rose gold Lange 1 moonphase.. But it truly is a disease, and I'm already thinking of the next! I am considering a Datograph (have not decided on 1st vs 2nd generation, input appreciated), vs a 1815 chrono...
On your wrist, the Dato ( first generation ) will be fine.
Now, don't expect to get a comfotable Watch. It is not. It will not be perfectly centered on your wrist, it will " seat " high on the wrist, but the Dato is a bit like an old car. Not the most comfortable, but how charming. As for which Dato, the first, o...

I have very small wrists too and the Dato is fine
Hope this picture helps. It sits high and is not the most comfortable but it doesn't slide around. Mine has the deployment buckle - am not sure if the same is with the tang buckle (may be even more comfortable). Overall I am happy with its comfort level t...
Thank you
Thank you for the pic... If I may ask, what is your wrist size? I used to be comfortable with larger watches such as Panerais and my AP ROO, even with my 6 inch wrist. However after getting into vintage rolex and with my recent Lange 1 acquisition, there ...
I second Robin's comments
I too have the Platinum Deployant. When I first got the watch, I was not happy with how it sat on the wrist and the comfort factor. After a couple of months, the watch became enjoyable. I found it to be a learning process. The beauty also helped while I a...
Indeed that..
. Resonates with me.. Took some time to get used to my Pam's in the past too! It's just that having gotten used to smaller watches recently I'm reluctant to go back to wearing monster watches so to speak, haha.
It looks elegantly beautiful on your wrist...
I always get use that a beautiful watch does not get affected by a small or a big wrist. It stands beautiful on it's own. And also this brand is not an ordinary brand :) Enjoy your beautiful watch. Thank you very much. WTA
Try them...
If you can find a place or person that will allow you to try them on your wrist, I highly recommend that you do so. Maybe a very obvious suggestion (and you say that you may not be able to do so for some time) but I say this because personally I felt the ...
A great suggestion indeed..
However getting a current version, let alone a preowned first generation Datograph to try on here is certainly challenging.. Not that I would ever buy a watch at this level sight unseen, but it would be nice to know what others think while waiting to enco...
I can let you try mine Dylan
I think we are both based in singapore. Pm me if you want to try mine and I won't mind meeting up with you for a "test drive" of my dato over a coffee or drinks. :) Cheers Robin
I think it should be fine
Our wrist sizes are probably quite similar. I think the Datograph Up/Down looks fine on my wrist so it should be fine on yours too. It isn't the lightest watch out there, about 215 gram. It's about the same weight as my Lange 1 Timezone. Yes, I weighed th...
Thanks buddy
What's your next target? Or are you just waiting for the SIHH release? Regards, ian
You know, only a test on the wrist will give you the answer...
You may get 100s of comments, you will get the definitive answer when you will put the watch on the wrist and try it... Each wrist has a different shape and even with similar sizes, a watch can be comfortable with one and not with an other. Fx
+1 no doubt FX
But... It does not prevent me from telling about my own experience. Long ago I had a Pt Datograph that I was in love with but after some monthes I realized I was not wearing it often at all; the reason is it was not comfortable on MY wrist, which does not...
Thanks
for your thoughts Mike! Indeed I have considered the 1815 Chrono too, and have really liked it on my wrist due to its slimmer case and clean, classic looks!
