Lange "Dufour" Datograph incoming
Sep 15, 2014,08:42 AM
Dear all
I am sorry for spamming the Lange forum here. I just posted my new Lange 1 RG which I got last week but didn't have the time to post then.
The Lange 1 is my second Lange.
Some of you know my first Lange is a platinum Datograph.
Lately, I felt my platinum Datograph has the same color combination as my Montblanc Villeret grand feu enamel chronograph both being in white metal with a black dial...
I then started to hunt for another Datograph but this time in rose gold and black dial, ie the Dufour Datograph or Dufourgraph - commonly known names for this version. I also learned that I prefer the warmer look of this RG black dial Datograph compared to the colder platinum Datograph.
As you know this RG black dial model was produced in less number of years so it took me awhile to find it. Thankfully one of my very close watch collector friend found one in a great condition and just went thru complete servicing in the Lange Manufacture and he helped me buy it overseas - I just got it today from him!
we did a gtg today, just 5 of us and some people couldn't make it - I will share some gtg pics very soon!
Meanwhile, some pics of my newly acquired Dufourgraph or should I call it Wongraph instead (my last name is Wong haha).
It came with a brand new black strap but I changed it to a reddish brown short strap and changed from the original tang to a RG deployment buckle from the Lange boutique. Feels more secure for a Dato to be on a deployment buckle.
As for my platinum Dato, it has found a new owner who loves her more than i do - one of my bro collector friends got it from me.
I love the platinum Dato but prefer the RG black dial Dato for its warmth.
So now I have 2 RG Langes and am loving them! Will share some better pics and macro shots over the next few weeks
Cheers
Robin
Same movement I adore but with a warmer case now
My pair of RG Langes - I realize I am in love with Langes RG color!
