Looks like they just took an existing dress watch and threw it on the PP grenade strap...

No. He saw something else and got confused. Purosange has not yet been shown in public let alone parked at a hotel.

Yes, I gathered as much, but it’s hard to be confused about a Ferrari badge – it is rather iconic, after all.
Can’t have been a GT4C Lusso, it’s not tall enough; wonder if it may’ve been a Maserati Levante?

Don’t know what he saw. Wasn’t a Purosangue.

I could get excited over a steel sports lange at $12-$15k USD :)

Maybe you’ll change your opinion in six days time, on the 24th.

Ha ! Much as I respect and like ALS , it still is not a PP no matter what they do to it!I can’t afford to buy a piece that loses half it’s value when I walk out of the dealer. Just my opinion. For me these other brands leave me cold except the AP.:-) well maybe a RM but I don’t think I could wear one - like to see the real money folks ( can I say Ninja? Ha!) wearing them and admire from afar . just opinion :-)))

Totally think u could sport and RM will match ur ferarri. There are a few that matches the Bentley :)

Just want to remind u I live in a hut and take public transportation.

That said I agree with u 100%. Can’t be buying stuff that declines 50%. I just don’t have rapper money to do that.

The simple solution is to buy pre-owned then – let someone else absorb the bulk of depreciation first, assuming they paid close to MSRP for it.

Calatrava r · 19 October 2019, 02:30 AM

These are all nice but have significant softness in the secondary market which is where you need to source them. It is regrettable the strong watch segment is limited to just a few brands and some models within those brands.

Token74 · 20 October 2019, 09:48 PM

I’m on the hunt for an alternative. I have a Nautilus and a Royal Oak and I’ve looked at the Overseas a lot, but it just doesn’t quite do it for me. I’m hoping they will bring out one that ‘does it for me’ but I’m not sure what that looks like.

I secretly like the overseas...but it’s just too constrained for my personality

Have to agree. A non-date version would rule.

I don't mind them on a chrono, I do on a time only dial.

I’m not sure if I like it on chrono yet... the AP 42mm ROO I have coming has it there as well...26480ti

Sport Lange will have day indicator at 9 o’clock and date at 3 o’clock on a blue dial. Good to have some competition !

They've started releasing teaser shots on their Instagram account:

It is Lange's take on a sports watch. Opinion running around 15% in favor, 85% against.

Making a dress watch in steel and adding an ugly bracelet does not make it a sports watch...

As much as people hate Rm... they at least made a sports watch

The bracelet is not getting much love. In case you don't know, the price is meant to be $28k.

I’d save my money and buy a used dato
