The forgotten Datograph Ref 403.032.
A lot has been said about the revolutionary Datograph when it was released in 1999. I always have reservations when it comes to power reserve. I feel watches should at least have 2 days or more and frets over the ones with 30+ hours. I sometimes question ...
It definitely is the overlooked one, and for many the forgotten one.
Tastes change for sure in our watch collecting journey, happy to see this one was waiting for you all this time !!! I find myself being drawn back towards the Datograph again, having owned an Up/Down for a number of years. If I was to go again on one I wo...
Totally....although the productions years and numbers suggesting this is the 2nd highest, they are still relatively small as compared to current up/down (I think)
The new up/down does not come in silver dial, wonder why ) When I see this one just serviced in late 2023, and have a deployant, I have to act, haha....knowing how costly they charge on servicing. Thanks Jay, for the endorsement.
I have to agree.
Despite the numbers for the original Dato, when you put it on it does not look or feel disproportionate. Truly a great chronograph.
I'm honored ... our dear Padj
Everyone's tolerance is also different so I think I can adapt to many things. I try to be like "water", as taught by Mr LaoZi.
This forgotten Datograph is simply gorgeous
and looks great on your wrist. And, yes, winding a watch daily is a true pleasure and ritual (a very important one for me), especially when the winding experience is absolutely first class, as I imagine is the case with this watch. Enjoy this wonderful ti...
There are not a lot of info on this reference.
As you might imagine, I looked up this reference number and there are only a handful of posts. There are also only few video reviews by the famous retailer. Therefore, I added ref numbers here in this post and hope someone can find it. Thank you, Emmanuel...
Adding the exact ref number can be very helpful indeed.
And I also think WPS is a mine of information, a reference site we are all building together over the years.
It's such a nice and interesting piece. Congrats on getting it.
Even this RG version has all the hallmarks of an icon -- the Datograph design is that strong... Cheers, John
The so call "neo vintage" era pieces are like red wine :))
This design with the 2 inverted equilateral triangles, from big date + 2 sub dials and 3 roman numerals, are well thought out and in harmony. Thank you, John.
It's good to uncover and own the forgotten ones... sometimes.
This looks great on your wrist, a bonus if it sits well too. Congrats, once again. Great shot of the movements.
Yes, “sometimes” is very true.
My wrist is flat so I can wear and adapt to many different cases.
CC - there is only one Lange that I regret selling…
This one. A truly magical piece - I wholly concur with your eloquent observations on it. Enjoy this pretty, quirky masterpiece.
I love quirky and different things…
That is why I picked the RL Referenzuhr. You know what, maybe now is not a bad time to pick it up again. Thanks for your input, helps consolidate my decision 🙏🏻
Indeed, the Datograph is unfairly perceived as "hockey pucks" by some.
Having one on the wrist is the best way to shatter that myth! Thank you for showcasing the beautiful movement, which revolutionized the industry and leads the pack!
The movements by this brand are superb…
I don’t need the very high end independent brand finishes. Here’s more I took today, hope you like them. Thanks my friend 🙏🏻 ...
A beauty in and out this ALS. The best looking Datograph
imho. Do not understand why they haven’t yet released a red gold Datograph with this first gen dial?!
That makes this reference even more compelling 😊
Probably they saw that it was not that popular? Or they felt using black dial will get more attention and popularity.
Man!! It is so good to see/hear how much you are
enjoying this beauty!!! I too, love my original Dato and so glad you picked one up. Would love to that have that sibling shot with these two datos on our wrists! Take care mom Ami!!
I can now understand why this 1st gen Dato is charming.
Absolutely come visit PNW and we will have a wonderful gtg. Thanks Darron.
