a month ago i have bought my odysseus wg and i really like it, in particular i do appreciate the craftsmanship, it feels like a very high quality watch.
so after this i thought i should get another a lange and what came to my mind was zeitwerk or datograph, with the additional benefit of automatically receiving an
allocation for an odysseus steel version.
i have excluded the zeitwerk date since it is too big for my mannequin wrist of 16,5 cm (see the pics) so - since i like roségold better than white metals my front runners are the
rose gold datograph up/down and the zeitwerk roségold.
i do have quite a few PP pieces, including the 5170P hand wound chrono, so the datograph would not bring a great new diversity into my collection - except the
wonderful big date function and the sculptural movement architecture. the zeitwerk instead is a watch that is unique and no other brand does a similar piece.
on the other hand i am asking myself whether it is not an acquired taste....
let me just make it clear, i am not aiming to start a lange collection,i am just trying to choose one high end piece from them...
any help in my decision-making process is appreciated.
