Your thoughts please?

My current collection:

SD4k
GMT2C
Explorer I 36mm
Explorer II 42mm polar
DJ TT 36mm
PP Golden Ellipse RG
VC Patrimony Traditionelle platinum/grey
Lange Saxonia Annual RG

So, I've saved up my nickles and dimes toward a 228235 DD40 (RG & Sundust dial), and of all moments in time, I happen to trip over a Walter Lange 1815 Up/Down ALS LE.

I'm leaning toward the ALS given is uniqueness, rarity, and relative future ease of getting into the 228235...

...but your thoughts?

You are already Rolex heavy...I'd skip the DD40.

Now as to ALS, maybe Dato Up/Down instead?

SearChart · 29 February 2016, 01:51 AM

Lange out of those two.

mps354 · 29 February 2016, 02:11 AM

I'd go Lange in this case

watchucallit · 29 February 2016, 03:56 AM

ALS no question

Matt C · 29 February 2016, 03:57 AM

I love the DD 40, however the ALS would be a better fit for your collection. Good luck!

Lange chrono boutique edition.

AK797 · 29 February 2016, 12:10 PM

The sundust dial is really nice and unique so I would get that. If you really like the Lange, I'd sell 2/3 other pieces and get both.

Watcheroo · 29 February 2016, 06:18 PM

Sounds like you'll regret not getting the ALS. Go for it.

fai9al · 29 February 2016, 10:05 PM

Lange!

tigerpac · 1 March 2016, 12:44 AM

Your collection is already wonderful so either would be sorta close to other pieces - no other manufacturers speak to you?

nick c · 1 March 2016, 12:51 AM

DD for me cheers

jjnd08 · 1 March 2016, 12:56 AM

Easy choice here.

Lange.

lapince · 1 March 2016, 01:15 AM

I'd get a date but between these the Lange, buy it right though as they take a beating on resale, Special Edition or not...

Israguard · 1 March 2016, 01:17 AM

Texex91 said it best imho. You are Rolex heavy.
Just that this ALS model doesn't wow me..

redsubby · 1 March 2016, 06:43 PM

DD40 and flip the following for the Lange:
Explorer I 36mm
Explorer II 42mm polar
DJ TT 36mm
PP Golden Ellipse RG

MichaelFlash · 1 March 2016, 10:25 PM

DD. that Lange doesn't wow me either and it seems you don't have a PM Rolex.

Abdullasaif · 1 March 2016, 10:43 PM
