ouroborous or snake biting it's own a$$... WARNING: Pics of Germans wearing protection in this post
Following on from my last post, I did talk about checking out more Langes and that is exactly what I did. I met up wif a mate who knows a thing or two about Langes(he has quite a sizable Lange family and some choice pieces) and so we found ourselves at the ion boutique fondling some Germans who were wearing protection ;)
some say he proposed to a watch wearing nothing but a very large watch polishing cloth...
and on valentine's day he wined and dined a grand complication before uhm... nevermind

ouroboros right. I poisoned myself with my pics of the dato. the more I see em the more I want... nay... need that watch
Based off wikipedia then: "The Ouroboros often symbolize self-reflexivity or cyclicality, especially in the sense of something constantly re-creating itself, the eternal return"
Don't google image ouroboros yuh coz some hentai manga thing will pop up in the results... [ Hey I said dont google it! ;) ]
In my case, no re-creation but maybe a constant return back to desire for the dato :) So following on from my previous post and because of the pix I took I have self poisoned myself(similar to a snake biting it's own behind in some ways). I want a datograph I need a datograph... Now I just need someone keen on my body parts/kidney etc willing to pay top dollar...
so apologetically crappy pics of some of the 2013 pieces first. excuse the plastic as they are worn for protection as these are pieces for sale... for more info though on these and other Langes do check out their catalog online, it is really cool -> LINK
boutique edition with the blued hands... nice
nothing wrong with all these watches. they are beautiful timepieces. but for me they, as with many/most/all Lange's offerings, are a bit too cool frosty for my liking but that is just a personal choice. so we come to the datograph up down...
they couldn't upsize it by 2mm (39 to 41mm) and not change other stuff as that would just be rather daft. so they add a PR and change some dial aspects... but not for the better unfortunately
pesky plastic...
and a quick wrist shot... not feelin it though the size at 41mm is better for me...
So the verdict?
Easily the older and lovelier Dato. The Romans, spacing and positioning of everything just works. now all I need to do is find me a kidney buyer ;) kidding. hagwe!

It's a testament to Lange that it still looks amazing even if it's wrapped in Saran Wrap. I'm sure their sales will improve the minute they accept payment in body parts. Amazing watches, better than Patek IMO. Sadly, the dato part deux doesn't live up to the original dato. Something is missing even though it's a more modern size.
Agreed. They should have thought of a better way to come out with an upsized dato. the old one was a strong seller for them so this new one should have been stellar and up to that level for them to stop offering the original and better dato. cheers
