Lange experts, please give me your thoughts on the Lange 31
So I saw it today for sale and have been absolutely enamored with it. Would like to hear the communities thoughts on it
Bg, thick and heavy
Just my observation; but I don't own one!
Let us know if you decide to buy
Is it really?
I don’t think so if you have very large wrists such as mine.
Here is a wrist shot of the gigantic 44 offshore on my wrist

My wrist is 17 cm big. And honestly, it was a tad too big. Especially for an elegant watch.
About the winding
It comes with its own key to make winding easier, plus you only need to wind it once a month...
I just think it’s such a cool watch it’s worth this one small downside, if it is that.
I think if this as I do of the 44mm Nautilus anniversary model. This is when a usually reserved brand goes crazy and throws caution to the wind for the sake of a cool idea. And to give Lange credit, they did this amazingly well and while keeping in line with their heritage.
The German 47mm Panerai, but with a unique and well decorated movement.
I know, I am convincing myself here. This is going to happen, I just would like additional info on what makes this special, features that I am not aware of.
I do appreciate everyone’s feedback on what the downsides are, helped balance out my opinion!

Looks like the Lange 31 might actually fit your wrist!
I've played with these quite a bit, but not in years. It's a really cool concept and fun to wind, though the dial is very unattractive to me, so personally I'd never wear or own one even if were smaller. As you probably know, the Lange 31 is a very, very "niche" watch. They've never been in high demand (which is not a criticism!). But if you like the way it looks and if fits you, then definitely go for it!
Kind of a cool complication.
But unwearable and not aesthetically attractive.
Maybe for the guy who has every other Lange. But there are so many others I’d rather have…

I absolutely love it!!!
What other wristwatch needs a separate key to wind it??!!!! 😮😮😮Reminds me of an old grandfather clock we used to have when I was a kid, and it needed winding with a key every 7 days.
I believe the minute hand of this one jumps every 10 seconds or so ...
One small issue is that the dial is a bit plain, but other than that it is one of my most favorite Langes.
If I read your posts and comments
in this thread I have the feeling that you have already made your decision. 😉
So go for it. Your (watch) heart wants it badly.
Yes, it might be big and heavy, but it is a very special ALS you almost never see.

P.S.: I am no Lange Expert but I know what I like no matter what others say. And you seem to act the same way.
