I think this is right.
This might be some interesting context. I'm in my mid-late 20s and last year I wanted to branch out beyond Rolex and add my first proper leather band dress watch to my collection. I quickly honed in on PP and Lange -- the former because of it's obvious reputation and the latter due to the Lange 1 being one of my top "grail" watches. I was deciding between a Calatrava and Saxonia. Thankfully I had the opportunity to easily try out both watches multiple times (love that there is a Lange boutique at South Coast Plaza in SoCal now!) and ended up going to with the Saxonia. Hard to describe why beyond the feeling that the Saxonia just "spoke" to me more. Most of the deciding process was me trying to fight my draw towards the Saxonia by thinking about how classic/icon the Calatrava...feelings (and the Saxonia) ultimately prevailed though!
