2229
WOW ...
it must have been a used watch then as, from the top of my head, production
of this ref. started YEARS ago (as much as 4 or 5 years perhaps)
I am no big fan of the 5070 - I am very polite using my words :-D - but I
saw the YG and was impressed!!!! A great color combo and the black dial did
make the watch seem/wear smaller then the 42mm it is.
Have a great weekend FX. And a great weekend to the other bro´s as well.
Warm regards

Lange as only Lange can... Any guesses for 2009?
G'day, the Dato certainly remains to be a pillar of the Lange portfolio, which underwent some real changes over the past 2 years. Today we´re about a quarter of a year ahead of SIHH 2009 (which will take place very early), so i´m very curious to hear your...
Curious
Sorry for my ignorance but do you mean that there were modifications to Dato for the past 2-3 years when compared to the original watch that came out 10 years ago? After 10 years in the market, are you suggesting a new Dato coming to the horizon?
I think Peter was ref. to the Lange portfolio where he wrote" which underwent some real changes over the past 2 years "
as for my crystal ball ... hmm Dato Rattrapante? Richard Lange Seconde Morte? Wait a minute, I can see something very clearly now, it is ... it is... OH NO ... the batteries in my crystal ball are dying, the image is fading away. ARRGGGGHHH E
discontinuation of datograph
One thing I wouldn't expect is for the Datograph to be discontinued. Like everything, it will eventually be discontinued, but Lange really doesn't have anything to replace it with. Eric von Schonberg
10th anniversary of the Datograph
2009 is a milestone for Lange with the 10th anniversary of the Datograph, that's true. But I really think they are currently more focussed in structuring the company (new building, training of young watchmakers etc...) than in releasing "revolutioning" ne...
A 10 th year anniv. Dato ...
yeah, with PR at the 9 o´clock subdial and do I hear "rattrapante"? Ratrappante operated by an pusher coaxial to the crown ... I think I better shut up now. Seriously; would there be people interested in a bigger Dato? I have heard lots of complaints of p...
In fact, as you know...
the Lange staff (Fabian, Arnd, Tony etc...) was wearing this YG/ Black Dial during the SIHH to test the reactions. At the beginning I was a bit surprised by the contrast between the case and the dial. But at the end, I really think it was a nice combo. Fr...
I saw that color combo pass in a couple of posts ...
and I can imagine that the combo yellow-and-black is very very nice: not as "warm" as the Dufour Dato and not as "cold" as THE Dato. But they made (at least) 3 YG Datographs? Wow, that means they are serious! I think yellow and black do match nicely. Wasn...
Any Photoshop experts here ;-)
As you say - I dont believe they would discontinue the Datograph which is Langes most important watch beside the Lange 1 in my opinion. Maybe they replace the RG Dato with the YG/black dial version. THE Dato is untouchable.
To make it much easier (for me) ...
send me the original Lange stock photo of the RG/Black Datograph and I will try some PS-ing on it later today. Due to a virus outsmarting my anti virus s/w I lost all my Lange images. Edwin
Here´s the real YG/black dial Dato (one of 30 units)
G'day, word on the YG variant was this to be an edition of 30 units; i´d guess these are gone already, but frankly i´ve not seen "official introductions". But then, for such a small run there´s no need for advertisement anyway. Here´s da real thing, as sh...
Minute repeater?
Ciao Guys, Trust everyone is doing well with your masterpieces^^. Well, my guess for 2009 is based on gut feeling, and also the word that has been circulating in the Japanese market for a while now, it is especially true that next year is Lange 's 20th an...
my suggestion
Hi Guys, I wish a WG Richard Lange with black dial. I expect they will bring out a highly complicated piece (maybe a repeater)...as eyecatcher and small improvements of existing modes (e.g. increase the Dato / Langematik Perpetual to 41mm and so on). best...
cool Edwin
Hi Edwin, yeah, this is exactly what I mean...you are a big photoshop magician (I would prefer the second one...) Greetings from Saxony! stere
