    I like it. I like Patek better. But I think it will be fun to collect the Rolex sport watches over the next few years. My only wish is that I was 42mm. It’s a tad small for me. I used to have a ceramic bezel Daytona and sold it cause I wasn’t wearing it. Apparently I should have kept it.

    I'm not sure of production but Lange certainly sells less than the top volume Swiss companies. Their line is similar in aesthetics (which I like) but is not too all's liking so potentially the lack of diversity keeps the volume down. Additionally they are at a top price point and potentially too high to satisfy many. I would find it hard to pony up $18K for a plain gold Saxonia but have an easier time with an equivalent priced, mass produced Rolex. Yet Lange has a decent number of movements and are a very innovative company. They do exude quality and if one is going to have an exhibition back I'd love to look at their blued screws and micrometric regulator over the somewhat plain rhodium plated oscillating weight and red font script all over the Omegas (even though their Daniel's designed coaxial movement is nothing to demean mechanically). It all depends what you're after.

    That’s a beauty!

    That’s a great looking SKD! Love that dial! I had the SS black & white dials previously, as well as the YG/champagne dial. Love the complications and look of the SKD, just like the 40mm size a bit better.

    Interesting dial. Haven't seen a 4 line red with 3-6-9 at 6 o'clock.

    Thank you WPOZZZ. The batteries are commonplace. If I remember correctly, nowadays these watches run off a 344 cell. Unlike the Accutrons, their circuitry can self-adjust to the higher voltage of modern batteries.

    The base movement was developped by ESA (Ebauches SA) and was heavily based on Bulova patents. It was found in several other watches from Eterna, Certina, IWC, Longines, Tissot and some others more as well. Whilst all the other watch manufacturers kept the ESA-supplied nickel plated plates Omega went for copper plated plates as a sign of distinction. That‘s the only difference; everything is interchangeable (even the plates if you don‘t mind the different finish and inscriptions). The Omega version of these movements - designated as a caliber 1250 - was by far the most common.
