Beautiful piece and great photos. No such thing as a mundane ALS!

Icon20 Lange Datograph Up Down - Pink Gold

Need your wise advice before making a big purchase...

Again, trying to add to my collection & to celebrate my 40th bday. Already own Patek 5712/1a and Rolex DSSD (Blue face).

Was originally set on purchasing a Patek 5164R. Still think it is a great one to own. But then - I came across the Lange Datograph Up Down in pink gold. I have only read the amazing reviews and seen incredible pics but have never come across this watch in person.

Anyone own or have seen one in person? What are your detailed thoughts?

AND

Thoughts on Datograph vs Patek 5164R would be most appreciated. Only have a week to decide!

Many thanks.

I don't think so as well. Here is my 1815 Up/Down.

I guess this is the mundane ALS, beng the entry level Saxonia Thin 37mm.

But I still love it

My friends Lange that's almost never used, it's a shame as it's beautiful.

Between those two I'd go for the datograph but they really are completely different other than the material.

My hesitation with the dato up/down is that it is very big and the case is quite thick. But since you have a dssd this may not be an issue. For me with 6.5in wrists it's too big personally.

Don't rush yourself, these pieces are quite available generally. Don't give yourself a week to decide on such a purchase or you could end up unhappy. The hunt is all part of the fun after all.

Guys, you're a bad influence. I've decided to convert a few of my pieces into a single Lange :-)

Very nice! I really like this look. Is this a Lange strap and can you give me the name of the color? Thanks and any more pics of this combo?

How is this watch as a daily wear? Absolutely love what it looks like but never been able to find one to try in person.

I have 6.5inch wrists and worry the size / thickness might be on the high side for me.

Any thoughts or advice are much appreciated.

Hi, my first TRF post.

Also thinking of pulling the trigger for the platinum dato up/down. Wrist size for watch hand is only 6.25 inches!
