Congratulations! Awesome car, and with Singapore taxes, that's a major commitment. Drive it love it each day, as that's what it's about.
That's also a beautiful quartet of chronographs and represents the best of each brands' offerings, in my opinion. I remember when you got the Cornes de Vache and you were also interested in the 1815 too. I figured you would end up with both, along with your PP. Mission accomplished! For what it's worth, I have the similar four chronographs (three, actually, as I'm still waiting for my Ed White), and I love them, but my PP, VC, and ALS are in different metals or metal colors. Again, well done. Wear them and drive in good health! |

Congratulations on your chronograph journey. I remember seeing you getting the Cornes de Vache and the Ed While, and clearly you’re enthusiastic about Chronographs. What a 4 watch line up. We love all our children, but after you wear all of them for a while, I’ll be curious if there’s one Chronograph you go to more than the others. Do share your experience when that time comes.
Also congrats on the GT3!

Huge congrats, what a collection
![]() I am a huge fan of the Cornes de Vache and wonder how you feel about it compared to the rest of your sublime chrono’s ? Thanks ![]()

As for the CdV vs. the others, it's tough for me to pick a favourite. The Omega is my daily since it's my only SS watch now aside from my BLNR (which funnily enough I've lost interest in ever since the hype started). The Patek is for more casual special occasions while the Lange will be for more dressy special occasions. It's hot and humid all year round where I am so I don't want to get the straps all sweaty and gross on these two. I have to be going somewhere with aircon to wear these. The CdV is somewhere in between and I have no problem wearing it all the time if needed. I probably wear it the most after the Omega. But that's me and I'm usually very casually dressed. I don't think you can go wrong with any depending on what type of watch you're looking for. ![]() |

I've been wearing this everyday since I've gotten it and really loving the way it looks. I do feel bit odd with an alligator strap when I'm in tshirts and shorts 99% of the time. I feel like looking for a more casual strap... can anyone recommend some nice ones that would go with this watch?
On another note, I asked my wife to rank my watches just purely in terms of looks and nothing else. She said Lange > VC > Patek > Omega > Rolex ![]() ![]() |

love the combo pic - bit jealous of the GT3 - i prefer alligator straps for my Lange and have a few in different colors from Jean Rousseau - but given that you live in singapore - perhaps check out delugs?

Picked up a strap from Delugs from someone's recommendation and it turned out great. I wanted something more casual and this works nicely, really loving the way it looks. I might have to pick up a few more colours.

![]() haha, yes the wife definitely deserves much credit for everything. I was secretly hoping she would talk me out of this craziness but she has been encouraging all the way. I'm a lucky guy! |
