What next? Give me some ideas...
It's time to move a few pieces and get something new.
Im not asking what to get rid of but what should I add??? I want to add something unique. Id like something with ND ideally I prefer bracelets in general. My wrists are 6.8 in. A couple things I am looking at: Czapek, Patek 5172 (not sure I can bring myself to spend that much), Lange 1815 Chrono (but I think it will be too big for my wrists) Rolex 228236 ice blue with baguettes (not likely) Im not looking for something that is going to be a big premium over MSRP. The current collection: Rolex: 228238, 116600, 1675 Small 24 hr hand, 5513 Matte, 16570 Polar, 16220, 17013, 1630. Tudor: M79010SG, M25600TB, 79280 Green. IWC: IW325404, IW371480, IW371918, IW326803. MIH Watch. Omega: 310.30.42.50.01.002, 318.92.45.79.03.001, 231.10.39.21.03.001, 2201.50. H Moser: 3200-1202, 2327-1203. Hublot: 303.BI.1190.RX. Pita: Oceana. Cartier: 21611. AP: 5214BC, 14790ST, 14790SA. Panerai: PAM243J. Romain Jerome: Tetris, Space Invaders. Casio MRG-B5000D-1JR. Longines Majetek Tartarugone (vintage). Linde Werdelin Hard Black Diver Watches on order: Toledano & Chan VPC That's most of them but Im sure there are a couple others in the bank I can't think off of the top of my head.

That’s a lot of watches.

I really don’t think you can go wrong with the Lange 1815 Chrono… I’m a bit more partial to the Up/Down however

This is the 1815 I like but again I just think the lugs are long and thick.
The case is also very thick and puck like.

Since you do not have a manual chronograph I. Your collection. I would suggest either the 5172 or the Lange. I am biased to the 5172 as I own it. It feels more “classic” with the Calatrava case and syringe hands.
Either ones are good choices but beware that once you stared into the amazing manual chronograph movements, you may find your other pieces a lot less interesting. ![]() |

I have a 7.5 in wrist and own the 1815 Chrono. I think that it would be fine for your wrist.
I also have a SS Santos and it's probably the most comfortable watch that I own. From an AD it comes with a 7 year warranty or buy used and save. The strap change system is great. I think that it's a bargain. |

Modern sports watches
Girard Perregaux laureato or blancpain 50 fathoms Looking for a really perfect dresswatch of something complicated… Definitely take a look at second hand breguet And some neo vintage watches from parmigiani or roth are always an option too

To the OP -
May I suggest acquiring (via a trade of some of your lesser pieces plus cash) a new or pre-owned Patek Philippe 5270J (It’s perfect for your wrist size). Don’t let the $200K (new including tax) frighten you off from getting your first “Museum Piece”. You should be able to buy/trade for a pre-owned in the $125-150K range - and when you do wear it, you will feel like an A-List celebrity…… |

My issue with the 5270 is I really love the black dial but it only comes on the bracelet and you can't really put it on a strap as the pusher protrude between the lugs as they are meant to fit in the bracelet. Also I think the bracelet is a bit more bling than I want for something I plan on wearing a lot. Also last night while going through my desk I found a RG BR01-92 Compass I bought off a friend who was getting divorced. I think I bought it about 8 years ago LOL. I also don't think I ever wore it, never was a B&R fan but did a buddy a favor.

You mention Czapek. I have a 38mm Quai de Bergues that I like a lot. I have the Antarctique as well, but I like the QdB better.
That being said, without hesitation I would do the 1815 Chrono. I have roughly the same size wrists and it fits me well. You dont have a Lange and they are just divine. Lange in general is a bit blocky. It is just part of their design language. I would skip the Santos and go directly here. Please note that I have a gold Santos, but I strongly prefer Lange and the 1815 chrono in particular. If only the Zeitwork was 39mm. |

I am also looking into 1815 chrono and PP5172. I think 1815 chrono should be the right size and 5172 a bit large coming at 41MM.

Try the 1815 chrono on before buying. There are many people that feel it wears big and hockey-puck like.

Would love to see a photo of your collection, as I'm not familiar with a lot of the reference numbers.
+1 for the Lange 1815 Chrono, assuming it fits well

I don’t think the 1815 wears large at all. Not in the least. Datograph maybe with added height. Definitely not this one though. |
