I would like to have this Zeitwerk before I am 50, I have a few years yet but I have pulled back from Lange before so I may need some time yet to pull the trigger.

Something dressy, classic, in precious metal. Probably a Patrimony.

Mrs Van D dropped this on me for my 50th a couple of months ago, my Grail piece.

It depends on what kind of 50 year-old I turn out to be. Right now, at 43, I'm still wearing sport watches. Maybe by 50 I'll be ready for a grown-up watch, like perhaps my dream watch - a Lange 1.

How appropriate! 50 in 1 month. 1967 is a great year.

Have my SS ceramic sub and am as happy as a clam. All good for this guy.

Not even thinking about it - 5 years to go for me, and time is going by fast enough as it is. No need to rush things.
