Warlock521 shares his newfound passion for A. Lange & Söhne, having acquired a rose gold Datograph Up/Down after years of collecting from other top brands. His post captures the excitement of discovering Lange's exceptional quality and craftsmanship, prompting a community discussion on ideal next additions to a burgeoning Lange collection.

Hello everyone! Just wanted to share my new found interest in a brand I would have never considered. As a collector of fine watches, I've been fortunate to enjoy several nice pieces from my top three favorite brands: Rolex, Patek and AP.

After setting eyes on my first Lange on advise from a friend, I was instantly mesmerized by the quality and incredible movement of the new RG up/down Datograph. I took the leap of faith, and ventured outside of my usual three brands and took the watch home. It's been a while since I've had such excitement in acquiring a new watch.. I absolutely adore her. It brings back memories of the first time I purchased and brought home a used Patek 5070P from an auction.

The two questions I have now is why I haven't discovered this brand earlier, and which piece from Lange I would like to add next!

Fellow Lange enthusiasts, I look forward to hearing your thoughts and suggestions!

And congrats on the beautiful new acquisition! As far as what to look for next ... you came to the right place. :) Can you provide some additional details about your preferences -- size, dial color, case material, complications, openness to purchasing discontinued/preowned models, or whatever else comes to mind?

And it looks really perfect on your wrist. I adore this model very much. No Lange has joined my collection so far. I feel I have to revise this immediately. Wear it in good health, Thomas

Easy to get hooked on Lange with so many great pieces, and such incredible movements and craftsmanship. Don't know what other pieces you have, but the Richard Lange is a terrific piece, especially the white gold boutique version with the blued steel hands. The rose gold and platinum versions are very special as well. Cheers, and enjoy your Datograph, John

This Datograph Up&Down is really beautiful. About your question, I would go to a Richard Lange. 3 hands watch, central second hand, a beautiful handwind movement... you would have a superb duo! Thanks for your post and pics! Fx

As for the next, everybody here has his/her favorites, but what I would tell you is: any piece is great and you can't go wrong with a Lange. Old or new-you will be happy!
