AHHH! Lovely watch!
I still want it! Even if it's your birthday! But yes, you should keep it! The Lange 1815 is one of my favorite watches from the brand! Rats! That hypnotizing doesn't work! I tried it on Jocke and it didn't work neither! You 1815 owners are very resistant to my hypnotizing!
Mainstays in your collection
Yesterday I was chatting with another enthusiast, and we shared our stories of watches that come and go, and those that are mainstays in our collections. We’ve all been there, flipping one for another, falling out of and then in love again with something,...
I've actually only sold or traded 1 watch
But I agree, no date sub does it all and is a favorite ...
Looking good!
History has shown: I’ve owned 100 different watches. Now only 5 remain. There’s been a whole lot of “try outs” in my journey 🙂
For me….
Because I truly rely on it and to my knowledge there are very few (if any) other pieces that do what this one does…as well as it does it. ...
All the time…
Gas gauges on boats are notoriously unreliable… In fact, boats are notoriously unreliable🤣 it’s very important with my skis and my boat that I have a completely mechanical timing device that allows me to roughly compute fuel burn. I also love that with th...
I like the fact it can be operated underwater..
.. if memory serves me correctly the BP Bathyscaphe Chronograph and the JLC Deep Sea Chronograph too, I think!! 😀
As neither one has a screw down I assume you are correct…
My notes… 1.the JLC only has 10 bar resistance… in fairness have never gone down 300 feet but the omega is 2000 feet, so I don’t really put them in the same category… I think this is more of an enthusiasts homage piece than a real dive watch. 2. I absolut...
👍🏻
Thanks for sharing mon ami. At first I thought you were going to submit that nice group shot of 50 watches again, hard to choose just a few 😂
I really like that 5110P!
I'd never let that leave my collection IF I HAD ONE! Sadly I don't!
Are you getting rid of your Lange 1815?
Your Lange 1815 is 40mm and white gold right? Please look at this metronome. You are getting very sleepy... You will sell this Lange 1815 to Moderator Patrick_y for a very fair price. It may have a lot of staying power, but somehow you're just itching to ...
Yes, I’m sending it to you today at a steep discount
🙂 Patrick, hope all is well! Fortunately the ALS is not going anywhere for now. It is the most desirable 38.5 mm size in rose gold. Plus it has my birth day in its serial number 👍🏻

Great question and topic! Love your no date sub! In my case without realizing it I seem to have a thing for expedition watches and love them!
Took first pictures I could find and strangely they are all on a strap but I prefer all three in their original metal bracelet! ☺️😎 ...
Breguet Tradition of Some Sort
I've had one in my collection, but sometimes the exact model changes. Have owned the smaller time only version, the GMT, and the retrograde seconds. Personally, the retrograde seconds is my favorite because of how animated the dial is, along with the back...
This one has so many memories attached to it...

Hardly ever traded or sold watches....

Very, very nice
That GO was one of my first higher end watches, it is lovely, also couldn’t agree with you more about Reverso dial, minimalist and perfect!
Easily these 2..
But I’m in no hurry to ditch the rest. They’re all close to being mainstays barring any unforeseen groveling from friends 😀 ...
Great topic and question.
I haven’t found it yet - the one stay forever watch. Enjoy!
Although I now only buy watches with the intent of owning them forever, this one's certainly at the top of the list of watches I'd never sell.
It's the one that restarted my interest in watches after having sold all but one Rolex and a few low-end vintage pieces from when I collected back in the '80s. When I found this Millenary I was surprised to discover how much current watches had changed ov...
😂🤣😂 Great topic, Jesse!
I’m really trying to focus only on acquiring pieces that will stay within my collection. As I’m learning in this journey, much easier stated than done. These two re-editions are probably the mainstays of my collection: ...
