Thank you Sir!

I did (emphasis added) want to like the Saxonia MP but the gold plated rotor, just, you know, pushed me away. 


I am considering a used Lange 1 Grande MP, in the near future. Would require me to let go of the Saxonia, JLC Gold Master Geographic, and put up some cash.

May sell a reverso, I have two, 1931 Choc and Grand Duo Date. The Date might be a harder sell because of its big size. I have time.

Am quite smitten with the JLC Enamel MP also, yes overpriced, but I like that many people would be put off by the cost and it would be pretty exclusive with only 100 pieces.

1st world problems?

Here is the Reverso  beast

Here is mine form Lange! Only bought a Saxonia Thin ...  

Nice card, love your watch too.

Do you wear the saxonia often enough with the 4500v in your collection? The VC is so versatile!

Thank you for the response Sir!

Funny you ask, I am actually looking to sell the Saxonia because I want a Lange 1 Moonphase or another moonphase. I tried the gator strap, I think it is okay, but I felt the case did not line up with the band as well as it does with the bracelet. Yet to t... 

Ted-Lo, thanks for your explanation!

You have a great point with the gator strap. I dont like it either. However, if you really need a dress watch, the vc is not enough. Sorry to hear that the Saxonia is not your perfect watch. ALS heritage and finishing is amazing but this does not make a w... 

Thank you Sir!

Everything you say is very reasonable,

Even though i would go for the regular L1 MP for its better balanced dial. However, the grande L1 is seen less often what you (and i) seem to like. However, please dont sell the tt 1931. ;-) This watch is just to good to let it go. I hope to hear more fro...

Although the Saxonia (precious metal, leather strap, more dress watch) and the VC (steel, multiple straps, sports watch) I can understand Reuven’s question; do you wear the Sax often enough. Not because it’s potentially a safe queen watch but purely becau... 

Good point.

I don’t wear it enough but because I think I want another dress watch, and want to sell it to put the funds against a new dress watch. The VC is versatile, to a certain extent (3 straps), after I tried the gator strap on, I just could not see myself pull ... 

A beauty my friend!

What are your thoughts on the JLC Enamel Moon my JLC resident expert?

Yes, that one.

 
 By: K-Lo : December 28th, 2019-18:24
Just that one or the whole collection? Thoughts on why it is overpriced?

Point well taken.
