Nope, not this one....it's waiting for another customer to pick up.




Not this monster either...it's taken, waiting to be serviced but I also don't prefer to drive in one.




It's this one! It's going to be like SS Professional/Sports Rolex, wait list and long production times, till next year but I secured a production slot. It's a great deal at $0 and only $995 destination charge, LOL!!!

Price and packages are TBD but it's not going to be much different.

Exciting.....Thanks to my boss for allowing this early Father's day gift smile. I'm glad I didn't get the current model last Dec or I'll be super pissed when they announced this new change after 30-40 years.




New transmission




Very subtle exterior differences, slightly bigger but the interior is what I love most. I test drove the current model and it's not as fun as the Cayenne but this new one changes the game.

Boutique just sent this picture today...now's her turn.


And this Little Lange 1 Boutique edition....for my lovely "boss", to arrive next week, unfortunately not in time for Mother's day due to custom hold up.




Went to a cosy French restaurant to celebrate this nice weekend!








Prawn, avocado, serrano, onion, chive




Wild mushroom Feuillette




Wild Sea Scallops, fennel, greens, blood orange




Crispy risotto and Pork Belly




Duck leg confit, potato gratin, garlic, port wine reduction

My faithful Daytona 116520




With my son's Bulgari Ergon




Boss wearing my GMT today




Mousse au chocolat




Meyer Lemon creme crepe


About the Automotive Ref. 365

The Automotive 365 is a notable reference within the brand's catalog, recognized for its robust construction and focus on performance-oriented design. This model often features a more substantial case and components, distinguishing it from some of the brand's more minimalist offerings. It represents a commitment to durability and a more assertive aesthetic, appealing to collectors who value a watch with a strong presence and engineering integrity.

This reference typically incorporates a stainless steel case, providing a resilient and enduring structure. The movement housed within is a mechanical self-winding caliber, known for its reliability and precision. The crystal protecting the dial is generally sapphire, offering excellent scratch resistance and clarity. The design prioritizes legibility and functional aesthetics, consistent with its intended use.

For collectors, the Automotive 365 holds appeal due to its blend of technical specifications and a design that emphasizes strength. It fits into the brand's lineup as a more utilitarian yet refined option, often sought after by those who appreciate watches built with an emphasis on practical performance. Variants of this reference may include different dial finishes or strap options, but the core design principles remain consistent.

You are a lucky man my friend . The New G63 has a beautiful interior and as we have been told has a wider body and a very comfortable drive and an improved turning radius . It’s a machine you could drive for another two decades and yet look new . I have a 2015 G63 and I love it .. Lange and Merc is the pinnacle of German engineering. You are a man of exceptional Taste . Enjoy it !
