What a superb watch! Well done

The rattapante is one of my favorite Journe releasens in recent years. I also really applaud your collection approach by have fewer but better pieces. It’s a very clever approach to discipline your self and I think the result you are displaying is proof. You have an extremely well curated collection across the finest brands and complications.


I also saw your on post on tz from way back and am aware you have considered this piece very carefully. I have a lot of respect and sympathy for that.

Wear in the best of health and please post it here often as we get to see it to rarely.

I have wanted this chronograph for a long time and needed to trade into it. My collection is now down to 4 watches, but this is the heart of the collection. Rotated image ...  

Amazing!

Beautiful collection. I am the same and prefer to have less watches that all get a lot of wrist time compared to having many that miss out. Cheers Jarrod

I went down from 10

now at least I can wear them all

Bold, original, refined

Congratulations for putting together a coherent collection. I feel 3-4 carefully chosen watches can really be sufficient: you are proving it nicely.

thank u

I am debating if 3 would be enough. How many do u have?

You have a PERFECT and balanced collection

Looks great on your wrist, and you have a nicely curated collection with great diversity.

There are many opinions and preferences when it comes to the rubber on these watches, personally on the gold I like the contrast the rubber provides even more.

I like both.

 
 By: shafran : April 21st, 2020-11:57
but I also think this looks sportier, thats what I wanted

Congrats!

This is a great watch.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : April 21st, 2020-12:13
As are most Journes. And your 4 watch collection would be pretty hard to beat.

Thank u! [nt]

Well balanced collection of amazing and beautiful watches .

 
 By: Watchonthewrists : April 21st, 2020-12:39
Like many i envy you . I wish i could bring my collection down to a few masterpieces . But i still love them all and can’t see them leave at some point soon .

Beautiful watch

and great collection. Perhaps only thing I would need is 1 steel watch - sub,gmt, nautilus, overseas, etc for pool, etc.

Good question

The Patek is 50mm wr, but the freak is a great titanium sporty looking watch. I actually still have a basic panerai.

Yes

 
 By: shafran : April 21st, 2020-15:07
but I rarely wear it, just to bike, etc

Understood 👍 [nt]

I actually share it with my wife

 
 By: shafran : April 21st, 2020-15:14
It is sitting in her closet with her watches, so I don't count it

Congrats Jacob,

 
 By: jp884 : April 21st, 2020-13:08
That’s a solid 4 to have

Thank you Jorge

 
 By: shafran : April 21st, 2020-14:50
You are my Lange guru. Now I have to decide if I want to consolodate further for a dato perpetual.

Just preference I guess.

 
 By: jp884 : April 21st, 2020-15:02
I find the dato perp to busy dial side for my liking. But different strokes for different folks.

I guess

 
 By: shafran : April 21st, 2020-15:08
u would recommend the up down instead?

If you prefer the size of the up/down over the 1st gen.

 
 By: jp884 : April 21st, 2020-15:14
I would, it’s the watches truest form. But that is only my humble opinion.

Thank you, I agree! [nt]

dark warm and sexy [nt]

I like that! [nt]

 
 By: shafran : April 22nd, 2020-04:18

I can't see parting with it

What a superb watch! Well done

I first tried on the watch 2 yrs ago and worked my way up. I found less pieces with more substance make me happier
