After many years, finally got one of my dream pieces.
For years I lusted for a Datograph, but when they were in the stores there was always a reason I didn't purchase the piece. Once they were discontinued, buying second hand became a challenge for me in terms of wanting to inspect the piece before purchase.
This week, I fulfilled my hunt with a face to face transaction for an excellent platinum Dato and I couldn't be happier. Silky smooth pushers...so different than many of my other chronos. What a refined watch.

Huge congrats Dave, I'm very happy for you!

opinion, the best and most beautifully crafted chronograph wrist watch ever produced. Congratulations, wear it happily...for ever:) Cheers Francois from Down Under
A dream piece for many...
Huge congratulations. I am sure it was worth the wait. And the platinum to top it off ! I know you have an amazing collection of PP's, UN's and others. Is this your first Lange? Quite a debut. Dean
Thanks, no not the first....
Thanks, no not the first. I bought a Richard Lange last year in RG, which I like, but this one is a must have. Sent from my iPad On 5 Sep, 2013, at 19:36,
Seems like the RG Richard Lange is a VERY popular watch.
In the past month, I can think of 4 people who've either purchased or are seriously looking for that particular watch. It's an unusually strong interest, especially for a colored metal (vs. PT or WG) piece.
Congrats Dave!
This is the most handsome Chronograph (both dial and movement) IMHO. The heft of the platinum case also feels great on the wrist. It looks great on your wrist! May it always time happy moments for you. Cheers Robin PS: I have the same dato as you and I th...
Thanks Robin. I've got two...
Thanks Robin. I've got two others out for service now as well, a GP and a Patek. I hate the wait times on servicing. 5 months just seems too long, but I know this is probably average :( Sent from my iPad On 5 Sep, 2013, at 21:18,
My Dato is back yesterday!
Coincidentally, after your post Dave, my dato is back few weeks earlier than expected (as advised by Lange Singapore boutique). So the watch spa is not 5 months but only 4 months, not bad for a Dato (considering Europe's holiday period)! I will post some ...
Lange's platinum watches and chronos are the benchmark
That is the most beautiful watch for many German collectors. Congrats on this very fine watch and good to see watch dreams come true. Enjoy Moritz
Good choice
The Datograph is a MUST for any serious chronograph and watch collector. The movement is a dream. The size just perfect. The watch is already now an Icon although it is relatively young. I agree with your choice 100%! Well done. Enjoy it, Edmond
Congratulations! It is an icon and for good reason.
I would love to own this watch, one day.
