Keeping it casual / dressy
Dec 13, 2019,00:50 AM
1. Casual - I would definitely try and get a steel Patek, either Aquanaut or Nautilus. Nautilus obviously can be considered a dress watch more than an Aquanaut (I don't like Aquanaut with a bracelet), but I understand both 5711 and 5712 are out of reach for most people.
2. Dressy - either you also get a Patek Calatrava to help you with no. 1 or go for Lange (as you mentioned) - I found Lange 1 with Moonphase looks more appealing to me. The one without can be the OG but for me the dial is too austere.
Just my two cents!

The two watch collection for the guy starting over
By: 3watchguy : December 12th, 2019-14:14
Good evening gents! Well, it’s evening for me, living in brazil... In the past I’ve had some rolexes ( 6 and 5 digit references ), a few IWC (90’s - early 2000’s), played around with some omegas, and other fun stuff. With the recent market situation and t...

It seems like the other half of my post is not appearing, so here it is. A Lange
Part II

The second watch I’m considering is the Lange 310.026 (Langematik Perpetual in WG,black dial). The first that came to mind was a 3940, which still is, in my head, the watch that first comes to mind when thinking of a contemporary perpetual calendar. But c...
Just to share my opinion...

I think the Lange perpetual is a great choice for a complicated dress piece. The aquanaut is an attractive watch as well, but my issue with it is that it's a currently hype piece with a huge premium, and at the same price point there will be some far more...
I also have a problem with the 5164 hype
By: 3watchguy : December 14th, 2019-08:52
I’m definitely not buying the 5164 right now, because I can’t make sense of it over 50k... So the 2nd watch is probably coming first. I’ve considered an overseas, but honestly I’m just not a fan of the aesthetic of the gmt/travel time. I looked at some 49...
I’m already enjoying the hunt!

Thank you so much for the advice! It’s really appreciated! This is the the main aspect that keeps me in this hobby, the chivalry between us. I’ll definitely enjoy the hunt, I’m not in a hurry at all... let’s see what the future presents! Now your hunt sou...
This Watch was made in heaven

What a divine timepiece! Congratulations, the hunt has definitely paid off for you, my friend! What a stunner...
Thank you!

In a way I’m more attracted to the aquanaut, especially the 5164. Maybe it’s the low key aspect of the watch, Nautilus is kind of a commodity, these days... i would love to get a 5712, but i wouldn’t replace the 5164 to get it. The Lange 1 Moonphase is a ...
Love the choice of the 5164
By: fourtaelsgold : December 13th, 2019-08:06
I’d replace the Lange with a FPJ Resonance and you’d have an unbeatable 2-watch collection.
Resonance is definitely a grail!
By: 3watchguy : December 14th, 2019-08:38
I have to admit that im in love with the idea... If i could get my hands on a black label, it would be unbelievable! Let’s see what the future holds, im in the hunt, and I’ll probably pull the trigger on the dressier/complicated watch first, since 5164’s ...
I love the 1815 chrono, but...
By: 3watchguy : December 14th, 2019-15:10
When i think of lange, the oversized date is probably the main aspect that comes to mind, and for now, I can’t see myself buying one without it... One thing i know for sure is, I’m not going to buy the perpetual without playing around with the idea of a f...
