This feels like the sequel that’s better than the first movie! Godfather 2! Huge congrats.

How does the CDV hold up now that you have the Lange and Patek? Does it feel like Kin to them or Kin to the omega?

M3s are great cars in their own right, I still miss mine sometimes. Movement wise I feel like the CdV is closer to the Patek and Omega, the Lange sort of feels like it's its own thing and there's nothing really similar to it. In terms of wrist time I wear the CdV and Omega a lot more than the Patek, but I love them all very much.

Congrats!

Thanks, it's my first Porsche/911/GT3 and even after dreaming about it for so long it does not disappoint. What a car.

I still remember our discussions on these chronographs and it seems like it was just a few weeks ago. And now you have all of them now, how time flies! IMHO, you now own the best chronographs from all the brands. Time to venture to another complication. (Perpetual calendar is next? The 5172 would match up really well with a 5320G)

And congrats on the GT3. I personally cannot imagine using it as a daily but Singapore probably have a lot less pot holes than here in CA. Drive it like you steal it and don't repeat my mistake. My last 911 only got 500 miles on it per year and I finally gave up and sold it.

Thanks my friend. I think I'm all tapped out for the foreseeable future, I can't afford anything else But in all honesty I'm quite satisfied now with what I have, I wanted to collect most or all of the major chronographs from the different brands and I think I've now done that. I'm just going to enjoy them for a while before looking at anything else.

the price will blow their mind

This is the wrong place to be a car enthusiast. I feel like a total idiot spending 7 figures on a car but life is short and it's always been my dream. Better to do it now than to regret not doing it later.

Thank you all, it means a lot!

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

Thanks guys, that's one of the things I love about watches, there are so many variations and designs that there is something out there for everyone. You can choose to focus on something you like or just buy everything lol.

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.

[mps354]

Well done! I love manual chronos, and that one is superb

[joli160]

Thanks for your reply, enjoy wearing all of them

[ButtButt]

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?

That’s a good suggestion, thanks I’ll look into it. And don’t be too jealous of the GT3, my first tank of petrol lasted me 2 days

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.

Huge Congrats!

So……. big thank you Wife!

Thanks everyone!

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!
