The son comes before the father...
Guten abend guys!
Hope you all had a great day! I know i enjoyed mine very much! The reason is cause I managed to catch the prince trying to sneak into my home! But well, to take you all into the adventure, let's do it through photos!
Without further ado, here we go!
Ahh, early in the morning on a typical Japanese main road
Even Kiddy Lang isn't open yet!
Ohh, Omotesando!
My AD
Leading to the depths of the earth, where the finest precious metals exists...
I am here?! Where is that?! And for what purpose?
Flagship store of RL
Ahh, and i'm wearing one of his clothes today!
Dead on spot.
For all the blue lovers.
Hmm, not for me, not today...
Excellent steak reataurant, but HELL EXPENSIVE!
Here we go!
The only brand suitable and fit for the genuine perfectionist.
Ok, even my AD isn't opened yet!
1st customer of the day...
Some shots of the OP corner
This is WHAT I CAME FOR.
My lunch actually before i saw the prince.
"Seikoan", an excellent restaurant of Japanese cuisine from Nigata prefecture.
The basin of the toilet, how Japanese!
The room for VIP's.
The glass is electronically screened. at the press of a button it can become totally transparent.
Ahh, here you are! I'V caught you! hahahahah
My wonderful platinum grade sales guy , Mr Kosugi, and the always beautiful and eloquant Ms Fujimoto

Poorly reflected in this shot, but the only belt I could ever wear with my Platinum beauties

Congratulations!
Cheers,
Daos
Thanks Daos!
It sure is indeed one for me! But tomorrow! Oh man!
It'll still be sometimes around this time next week when I can put my 1815 on and go out. Just now's wristshot was just a trial after making the single hole on the belt. ( All my straps are customised to fit only my wrist, so they have only 1 hole).
Now here comes the testing!
Cheers!
Stephen
P.s. Here is one HUGE, CLEAR PHOTO just for you!
Congrats!
Thank you Sid!
I hope to post some great shots, but in the same manner!
Cheers
Stephen
Such Great Watch ......If this is a Prince,
I have no idea what is a King. Turborgaph?
Congratulation for such gorgeous piece, I really love its subtlety and the dial
*CL
No my friend...
I havent got such funds.
But, the King to me is one piece that fills the core of my collection, fulfills every single criteria of what a perfect watch would be to me , and is one that is highly similar to the Turbograph, but is less, yet more.
Wait till tomorrow.
Cheers
Stephen
Congratulations Stephen....................
I fancy that you will not be getting toooooooooo much sleep tonight!!
Looking forward to following the next exciting instalment of your hunt for the King!
Thank you!
I actually managed to sleep for quite abit! Guess I was really exhausted from work this past week!
Sure, come along again today!
Cheers
Stephen

Stephen
Will it be a sleepless night?
After the Prince, here comes the King! I am really excited for you. That personalized platinum thread strap takes it to a different level I believe. Congrats and tx for taking us with you!
cheers
fernando
I think i'll sleep tonight...
Or rather, have to force myself to as i have a lunch appointment tomorrow before going to collect the King!
I'm glad you like the strap, that is the standard strap I do for ALL my Pt watches, whether Lange or not.
So it's like VC's only watch 2007 kinda copied my idea, cause I did it way before them! LoL!
I will try to fill you all in for tomorrow's event, which promises to be filled with much more excitement than today's!
As of today was boring!
Cheers
Stephen
Excellent choice, Stephen... A true Lange!
Magnificient, understated, discrete and so classy!
Huge congrats.
Best,
Nicolas
Merci mon ami!
It sure is an understated piece, good for my daily business!
A bientot]
Stephen
I like the idea of the hole in one!
Stephen:
Great pictorial presentation. Nice watch. Only in the best of health! I noticed a steak in there. It will only prepare you for Peter Lugers.
BTW, I love the idea of the one hole sized strap. I would love that on my Dato. Does Lange make a strap with no holes? If not, who does? In NYC perhaps?
Mark
This is done with all my straps
Hey Mark,
I'm glad you enjoyed the strap! I will PM you the details. No, the strap is NOT from Lange.
LoL, is the steak served at Peter Lugers in the same style? ( sliced? I'd actually prefer the american style of not cut up for you, but here in Japan they tend to serve it sliced or diced because it's easier to pick up the morsels with chopsticks)
Cheers
Stephen
Peter Lugers Steaks: Cut In Thick Chunks not Thin Slices!
It is a world famous steak house. Many consider their steaks (porter house) the finest steak in the world. Do a Google search on Peter Lugers and see for yourself.
