First Lange
After much debate between a 5960 and a Datograph, I made a decision I do not regret. At all. The 13+mm size is a bit misleading and wears a good bit thinner than I expected.

Feels good to have this chronograph.

Good choice. It's the chrono that forced everyone else to up their game. :)

Absolutely brilliant. Congratulations.

What I always wonder is why do a ton of these high tier watches come with a buckle rather than a sold deployant clasp (especially gold pieces)?

Personally, I don't like deployant clasps at all on high-end watches because it makes it harder to see the movement.

It takes 2 seconds to open a deployant fully to view the movement.

I've been debating whether to buy a deployant clasp for my Lange 1. I'm not getting past the $3,000 price tag for the deployant when the tang buckle works well and is comfortable.

Very nice. The same step I took, my first and only Lange. Gone now, but itching for another Lange.

Congrats sir. First connotes there will be a second. They say, a Zeitwerk is a good second Lange.

Good catch. After experiencing the Datograph I’ve expanded the research for the next one from the brand. Zeitwerk is high on the list. Tried on the striking time recently. Also the double split. Pictured here on my wrists.

Maybe a lumen or an Odysseus white gold with the rubber.

Congrats man! The Dato is definitely not a watch made for every wrist, but it looks perfect on yours. You totally rock it. And that is one heck of a trio! Wow!
