What an amazing trio! You can add a random steel Rolex and stop here ...

But being realistic - what is next?? I have to say - there are not that many modern Lange pieces which excite me as much as those 3!

I know, that is still missing and hopefully one day,…

Still hesitating on the size, thickness and 36hr PR for most models, except for the new ZW Date with is 72hrs.

Tough to get a remontoir with a longer PR, but I hear you.

Do you have the wrist size for the ZW date? It’s huge.

The ZW date is 0.3mm thinner but I think I can pull off up to a 44mm watch.
