My first A.Lange

Jul 06, 2020,18:54 PM
 






After reading the many posts in this forum, I wanted to add a couple of A Lange watches to the collection, especially the Datograph and the Zeitwerk Date. Alas, came across this beautiful Richard Lange this week and pulled the trigger, - different target, directionally correct.

Struck me as bizarre that market (observable from the Phillips auction results) tend to overvalue steel Rolex and Patek watches and undervalue watches in precious metals like these.

Frankly, got it at a price below a used modern steel Daytona (no, I did not trade away my Daytona 😃).

Thanks for looking and have a great week ahead! 🥂

And under appreciated IMO.

I would prefer this to any Rolex, anyday, anytime.

I used to own the platinum piece as well and it is stealthy. Great weight. I am no expert, but I think the cycle of Lange is incomplete and you got a great deal. Best,

Thanks Nicolas 🥂 ... had initially wanted to enter the ALS world with a Datograph first, then a Zeitwerk before branching out.

Didn’t expect the first to be a Richard Lange 🤣. Now I have some catching up to do. Btw, I enjoyed your JLC session. Keep up the good work and stay well!

Thanks very much!

The RL is one of the most desirable Lange models.

Thanks very much! [nt]
