So Lange jumps into the stainless fray...what do all you think, will this be a worthy challenger to King Nautilus? Speak up, let the games begin.

Considering the negative comments on TRF under the ALS thread this is going to be a huge hit!!! With UJ out recently and now this at least there is some choice. I think the movement beats PP hands down but the rest of the watch I doubt will have me begging for an allocation

Token74 · 25 October 2019, 02:57 AM

Hugely disappointing. Enough said.

Not for me.

Fat_ninja · 25 October 2019, 03:11 AM

Nope

Rushne · 25 October 2019, 03:12 AM

I’m coming around to it to be honest.
I think the bracelet might look better when you can see it interact with light. Love the movement and the day date functions with pushers.

uniqueMR · 25 October 2019, 03:21 AM

Hmmmmm naaaaaa.
Pass!

Pim · 25 October 2019, 03:21 AM

I don't hate the case, dial and colour ..... but... The bracelet is hideous, the dial isn't special enough and more important, 30K+ euro is absurd for a brand that loses 25% value the moment you leave the AD

So, nope also not for me

Rolex Essex · 25 October 2019, 03:24 AM

Lame design.
Nautilus is still the king.

ts3 · 25 October 2019, 03:25 AM

The dial? Why not...
The movement? Sure!
The rest? No way...

In some respects it looks like a prototype rather than a finished product, especially regarding the integration or rather non-integration of bracelet and case. Might look better on a strap w its conventional lugs.

As a means to attract new customers to the Lange brand this will be a dud I am afraid. But I am sure some Lange lovers will feel an urge to add it to their collection of greater Lange pieces.

dbfagan · 25 October 2019, 03:29 AM

Not a huge fan - yet.

Time will tell. Everyone thought the Nautilus was an AP knock off when it first came out. The Aquanaut was sneered at until around 2011.

You have to a hand it to ALS though, new watch-new movement. Also, the way way you add and remove links from the bracelet is pretty dope.

SL BRABUS · 25 October 2019, 03:30 AM

Not a fair fight.....

Nautilus WIN.....!!!

yoast · 25 October 2019, 03:33 AM

nope

nycpassat · 25 October 2019, 03:40 AM

As much as I am fan of ALS, this is sure loser IMO. And the price is just way too high.

JR16 · 25 October 2019, 03:40 AM

Not a chance. What a shame

I would wear it on a rubber strap lol

Yk101 · 25 October 2019, 03:51 AM

This reminds me what people said in the 80’s about APRO and Nautilus... and then things changed! Just give it some time to sync in.

sensui · 25 October 2019, 04:00 AM

This isn't even close....

Bearxj86 · 25 October 2019, 04:01 AM

If it wasn't a blue dial and had a rubber strap option too and perhaps was $20k USD...maybe.

fullofboats · 25 October 2019, 04:04 AM

If this was retail priced in-line with the RO instead of the nautilus I'd be more interested. 28k for a steel sports watch that's not PP is nuts

I think it’s great.

Marmite is good, no one remembers beige!

I’ll never need to know the day & date that bad. But best of luck to those who dig it.

MadSpaniard · 25 October 2019, 05:20 AM

Tough crowd - I expected nothing less from our esteemed Patek community. Long live King Nautilus. :-)

GGatsby · 25 October 2019, 05:29 AM

Germans can build great tanks - watches are not their strength !

GoingPlaces · 25 October 2019, 05:36 AM

No it won't. The Nautilus bracelet is nicer and it's got more legacy behind it. The Lange on a strap would be a hit I think. Especially on rubber. I would get one if it came on a strap, I have no interest in owning the bracelet.

Agree but bit of a price difference, no?

"It is a truism in watch design (and I'm sure elsewhere) that a new design can take time to find its audience." From the comments above this part from the article may be the most true.
Two things I do not like at first glance. The flange at the crown side but not the other seems to throw the watch off balance. The indents in the lugs where they meet the watchcase are a little awkward.
I would much prefer the UJ One but at these price points depreciation is really a concern on both watches. The Nautilus was just 23K, the RO is what 18K for 37mm and the VC is 20K. Lange really needed to be 21K or less to be competitive. Lange drop because they are too high out the door.
A Rolex DJ41 is what 7K in all steel. No wonder why they sell so well.
