You have single handedly - pun intended - changed my mind on the Schumacher.
While I maintain my reservations on the Ti being too monochromatic and uninspired, this RG is a beauty and a greatly balanced watch.

I have been an advocate of the 'extra brackets' that come on the opposite of where the pushers are (ala GP), but from your wrist shots, I can see how not going with it here both serves a purpose of a dressier watch, as well as highlighting the contrast of not just the case with the bezel/pushers; but also the dial.

You truly have just converted me to a fan of the Schumi - in the RG version at least. :)
Now if you will excuse me, I have a lot of pictures I want to download from this thread!
I wonder how this would look on the GP strap from the RG version .. Hmmmmmmm

EDIT PS do you mind if I use your photos on Instagram?

Glad to hear my photos have helped sway you! I think you would also be persuaded that the titanium version is just as beautiful if you were to see it in person. I'm not sure how photogenic it is, but that photos of it online do not come anywhere close to capturing its beauty. I really had a difficult time deciding between them...

Absolutely, feel free to Instagram them.

I love Lange. Ornate craftsmanship. All in-house movements. Beautiful stuff.

Then my incoming 26400 SS will look good on my wrist
The Schumacher really looks much better in person than web photos, thanks for sharing the picture

Happiness should never be caged in a bank. It should be worn with pride. Very nice indeed.

Yeah, a few times at the boutique. It grows me on, but prefer a bit more contrast.

I hear you. The extra contrast persuaded me as well! The Ti doesn't pop as much, but that gives it its own kind of charm IMO. A subtle charm.
