With the collection you have, I wouldn't park so much cash on a watch that I wouldn't wear a lot. It's a great watch but will you enjoy it as often as DJ? I would consider keeping DJ and if I needed a dress watch to wear occasionally then I would try to find something with the extra cash you are adding on top for this trade. This is just a thought but OK, I am not a great fan of dress watches :)

Would do the trade, but I am biased. See the signature.
The Lange model you have in mind is quite versatile and can be dressed down or up depending on the strap. I would wear it with a neat polo/jeans without any hesitation. What you're getting is top horology. What you're letting go is a commodity.

I like the lume on the DJ at dusk. DJ 41 is becoming my go to watch. So easy to tell time. Day & night.

I would do it. Lange watches are getting more difficult to source with good discount and much lower production. You can get back a DJ down the road if you change your mind.

I have decided to wait before purchasing the Lange 1815 Up / Down.
Basically I am satisfied with my small collection (pic below). If and when I purchase the Lange I will keep my DJ41 believing it is better to add than swap. I can always sell later if I find a watch is not getting any wrist time. Thank you to everyone who provided their advice. Best, |

I would keep DJ, it goes with everything.
Save more money and get higher model of ALS as a classic dress watch.

I have the RG version. I used to only wear it on special occasions but I recently changed out the strap to something more casual and now I find myself wearing it more regularly. It dresses down better than you think, probably more so for the WG version. You can’t really compare a DJ and an 1815 U/D and the prices aren’t really comparable either. If you’re able to swing the extra $10k then go for it. Saxonia thin would also be a good option and you would save a good chunk of cash.

OP - If you’re thinking about it, it’s because you can envisage events and times where this watch will feel better than the DJ. In that case go for it. In my case I have zero use for such a delicate piece, so it’s a hard pass. But I do understand those who still need something elegant, and the celini lines is simply useless for that in my view.

I don’t think so. I think the Lange is a perfect addition but i wouldn’t want to get rid of the DJ.

Definitely YES
What a major step in quality, mid tier mass produced piece to a top tier hand finished watch of genuine haute horologie |
