Trading up to Lange

Often enough you get the feedback from people that they inquired about a watch and got no response or were told that it cannot be sourced. So Jomashop listing your Saxonia at 10k doesn’t mean it’s really available for that price. Would still look at the VC traditionelle small seconds rather than that Saxonia though. It’s just more of a watch for the money. The Saxonia is very restrained, as a dress watch of this type should be, but then has a movement that, while well executed, doesn’t boast enough of the hallmarks of fine watchmaking to be visually interesting. So it won’t blow anyone away with its caseback either. If you really want a Lange with that look, try to find an older Saxonia automatic with the Sax-o-mat movement, that has so much more visual interest.

Good summary about Jonashop's situation. You cannot rely on what is displayed on the website. I have contacted them for 2 Lange watches, for both of them no stock and they asked me to make full payment then they try to source them without any guarantee.

Absolutely cash in on high value of rolex hype for high horology of Lange.

Wear what YOU like. If thats the direction you wish to go, go for it!

As you said, you still have 2-3 rolexes in the top draw for when the occasion arises.

I do like the suggestion of a Lange 1 though :)

If I were fortunate enough that resale value and liquidity were of no concern to me, then I would trade in most of my Rolex for Lange or similar.

I would do it, and applaud those who do.
