Thanks for your message!

First of all, welcome on board, please enjoy your stay here.

The only way to be never disappointed with watches is to buy them for their charm, their attraction, their technical interest.

The collectibility factor requires a crystal ball nobody owns.

Enjoy the watches for what they bring today and not for what they may bring in terms of value tomorrow.

And it is what you did actually: you liked the watch, you bought it... and you did it right.

About the watch by itself, it is a very balanced watch. I like its dial. I like its 3/4 rotor movement and I often regret that Lange doesn't use more often. But as a friend said, the Saxonia Calendar is "a perfect business watch". And I expect a touch of originality I don't find in it.

I will take my example, I purchased a Patek 5205. And do you know why?

It is not because I found the 5205 "better" than the Saxonia. To be frank with you, I feel more trust with Lange watches than with Patek.

No, because I consider the 5205 as one of the most beautiful Patek. And I do believe that I would prefer several Lange watches before considering the Saxonia Calendar.

Anyway, please again, you made the right decision because it is YOURS.

I share your sentiments. While this hobby, turned addiction, masked as a passion is supposed to be buttressed by the fact that our toys have residual value, the idea of parting with any one of significance seems too foreign a concept to visualize. The onl...

Your Lange AC is great!

By: jrwong23 (aka watchthebin) : December 28th, 2012-21:00

Your Lange AC is great! I chose the PP 5146R over the Lange Saxonia AC a few weeks back purely because I like very classical dial design and I find the Saxonia AC slightly more "modern" looking. But it was very close as the Lange had several plus points s...

Not sure of its "collectibilty factor"

By: ianny : December 28th, 2012-23:42

I chose the PP 5205 over this (for now) and to be honest, I still can't take my mind off the Saxonia AC. Truth is I would have purchased both if I hadn't purchased a VC Malte Manual Chrono this very same month, and a PP 5712 in Nov. My watch funds are n...

Firstly congrats on the ac. Tough to go wrong with any Lange. my 2c: i had been waiting for lange to introduce an ac as i loved the perpetual calendar but as a man with limited resources didnt want to pay extra for that extra complication. That said, when...
