But then again, Lange has been going in that direction (indirectly) with its recent full-rotor automatic movements as compared to its legendary micro-rotor movement.
...Lange should be able to benefit, without undue criticism, from market trends. But I now have misgivings about a more complicated sports watch. The weekday seems superfluous. But I'll continue to reserve [some] judgement until the full unveiling.
I still have never taken to the octagonal bezel, though... Some seem rather overdesigned. And I am further convinced that the Chopard is terrible....straight out of the 80s. The BR is terrible too, IMO. Complete wannabe watch. The Rolex blue dial OP would have been a more compelling comparison.
