They’re gorgeous watches

Wow, they are beautiful. Why does it just sit there, what stops you wearing it?

1. A WG Lange can replace many of the Rolex in your collection. And, a bit of your collection overlaps. Are there less worn ones you could offload?
2. Take a look at the YG and RG options - they’re stunning as well.
3. At 38mm your wife can wear it too - a blessing and curse in my case.

Yep, there are a few I don't wear often to be honest. But some I can't move due to the attachment to special occasions etc.
Thankfully 38mm would be too big for my wife- a 36mm OP is a stretch for her. Which is good as I wouldn't want to share the ALS!

Yep I think I'm settled on the 37mm-38.5mm mark

Definitely, I think the hobby has changed a lot over the years with the average public much more aware of wristwatches and their value. Even one of my friend's (who isn't at all into watches) 9 year old son asked me if my Explorer 1 was a Rolex. And when I said yes went 'woooooow'. Just goes to show that from a young age it's becoming more talked about.
RE: design process- It's based on the golden ratio isn't it? With the date window from the Opera house in Dresden? Would love for you to tell me more about it!

Yeah I do love the 1815 Chronograph, looks lovely. However I think the Lange 1 just blew my mind!
