Back to basics.
By: fernando : November 30th, 2013-01:37
Less than 3 weeks ago I went with my friend to the ALS boutique to pick up his second Lange within days from acquiring his first. A one-two punch in quick succession: Datograph up/down and the Richard Lange boutique version. Very cool! I had highly recomm...

I do hope I can make you hate me more! :) :) Thanks for the kind words. You should see some of the dogs I have.;) Best fernando
Back to fundamentals....
By: amanico : November 30th, 2013-01:56
Well done, my friend. I much prefer this one to the Boutique Edition, which I find a tad too artificial, with its blue accents ( does that really justify to call it Boutique Edition, couldn't they work a bit harder on that??? ) This " normal " one is the ...

Congratulations Fernando, this is a beautiful.....

Time-Piece, I too fell in love with it the first time I saw it and tried it several times on my trips to Singapore. However every time I found it a wee bit too big for my wrist, to my great sadness because I really like the simplicity of this dial, the Ro...
It's really not ...

so bad at 40.5mm Francois. Being an observatory watch I find the size ideal, giving it the presence it deserves and the movement is well proportioned. Thanks for the kind words. :) Best fernando
I know Fernando, you are absolutely right......
By: Sandgroper : November 30th, 2013-22:42
40.5mm is not that big at all, it is just one of those things. I imagined it differently on my wrist:) nevertheless it will probably be on my wrist soon but the priority right now is the VC Pat. Trad. Platinum, small second, manual 38mm :) Cheers Francois...
Well done and congratulations Fernando!

Your wrist shots may persuade me to pull the trigger as after I finally lay my hands on that beautiful Cabaret.... Best Sam
Sam, Sam..
By: fernando : November 30th, 2013-19:15
I'm still envious of your Lumen! You are a very patient man with the Cabaret - still hunting? Best mate :) fernando
You are too kind Marcelo
By: fernando : November 30th, 2013-19:26
However, my wife may not agree with you on that point. :) Seriously, this watch for me is the antithesis to all the nouveau designs and contraptions that are flooding the market these days. For an (old) man, it's too much to digest. :) I admire your choic...

Beautiful piece

Remind me never to hang out with you or I may well end up homeless. Like you, this one has been on my list but others keep jumping the queue. A great choice and congratulations. Dean
Didn't you know...
By: fernando : November 30th, 2013-19:32
I've been homeless for a while? :) The number of watch shops here is mind blowing! I need to move elsewhere. :) Thanks Dean! fernando
That says a lot..

I got mine a couple of years ago and agree with everything you said.
Thank you Moses!
By: fernando : November 30th, 2013-19:35
Show some pics. I like to see someone else with it on. :) cheers fernando
Congrats and +1 on...
By: Seeks : November 30th, 2013-07:31
Hi Fernando Many Congrats ! and I like what you said "....uncluttered dial and unpretentiousness to be a breath of fresh air. Glancing at my wrist no longer involves squinting or trying to decipher information that I usually have no use for. " :) Cheers
Glad you agree Seeks!
By: fernando : November 30th, 2013-19:37
A dual WS is in order one of these days. :) Best fernando
Congrats and best wishes
By: colton_d : November 30th, 2013-07:54
Congratulations on pulling the trigger on such a beautiful and elegant watch! The platinum RL is a sight to behold, and it's magnetism only grows with time. The minimalist dial, the indirect driven seconds hand and the weight on the wrist equate to my per...
You are certainly an influencial man Colton!
By: fernando : November 30th, 2013-19:41
Seeing all the beautiful WS from you and others here have certainly helped my cause in acquiring the RL.:) Thanks so much for your kind words and wishes. Best fernando
Glad to hear Fx.

Coming from you, that's an honour. Thank you so much. Mind telling me which are the top 3 in your opinion. Just curious. :) Best fernando

you have shown me that 'resistance is futile' and as a partner in crime, you are now playing the devil's role? :) The two you mentioned will have to wait till next year for me I'm afraid. Nice move on your part. I'll leave it to you to make the announceme...

I have been contemplating this one for a while. Glad I finally made my mind up. :) Best fernando
Fernando, you have exquisitely fine taste!
By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 1st, 2013-05:09
Your platinum RL is one of my favorite watches of all time. It wears a little big for me when I tried the boutique wg edition but I definitely love the RL still esp your platinum version. Enjoy your RL and may it time happy moments for you always. Cheers ...
You know Robin...
By: fernando : December 1st, 2013-16:55
when I first saw it a few years back, I thought it was big too. However, in time my perception of it has changed and now I wouldn't want it any other way. Thank you for the kind words. :) Best fernando

Congratulations it looks perfect on your wrist
By: emcquillan : December 1st, 2013-08:39
You have impeccable taste. This has been my favourite three handed watch since it was released (2006?). I started with the red gold warmer version, but added the platinum version just this year to compliment it. A bit silly but I couldn't resist having bo...
Thank you but I must congratulate YOU!

You are not the first to respond but you do make a very convincing argument and have been very influential regarding the desirability and qualities of the RL, especially the PLM! I am very happy with this regular version and it hasn't left my wrist since ...

You comments are appreciated but I still consider myself to be in the learning stage compared to all the masters here. I am continuously evolving through trial and error and I can now honestly say I more or less know exactly what I want in a timepiece wit...
