Disappointed to have to defend my opinion Edwin

Edwin,

My apologies if my comments on the DS offended your sensibilities.  I agree with much of what you said (happen to think a tourbillion is an example of a useless complication that is gorgeous to watch, and therefore worth purchasing as a complication -- such as the PLM).  Other complications also have aesthetic appeal to me.  The gentlemen's questions sought opinions, so there is nothing wrong with mine.  I happen to think he should pass on the DS.  The only saving grace for me about the double split was that if you set the hands just right as Lange shows it in their ads it is cool to look at for about five seconds, but be careful putting on a seatbelt or walking by a doorknob, cause it sits real hight on the wrist.  One could also gaze at the back and see a sort of gothic depth of machinery, like a castle or something, but you can't wear the watch backwards very easily.  I just never used the complication and was somewhat burnt by purchasing the watch when it first came out, and it has only fallen in value since then due to lack of demand or interest from those that can afford it.
