      I have a friend whose husband is very rich and sometimes she wears his watches e.g. a Heuer Monaco (that she was wearing upside down) and she's one of those people who, all she knows is that Rolex is the best watch in the universe. I sent her one of the videos from here explaining why that's not true, and I don't think she ever even watched the video. Her loss.

    My collection is basically anti-Europe, because of the pricing BS. I may have to adjust and make it anti-Swiss, so I can loop in some AL&S pieces and still be true to my heart. Congratulations; I’m now considering GS and AL&S in similar light.

    Would love to see the SBGW231 vs the Saxonia. As they’re both the simplest, cleanest dress watches from both brands. Considering one of these at the moment but it’s a tough decision.

      @@st2rseeker it’s also what’s ‘not said’. These things are always subjective of course, but to me Lange und Söhne have the supreme confidence of understatement. I am a huge fan of GS, but the Snowflake gets a lot of praise for the texture of the dial and the finish of the zuratsu polishing, but in the final analysis these are surface details and the initial appeal falls away with sustained wear, most especially with one annoying ding or scratch... whereas, one can imagine the privilege of wearing a Lange und Söhne with of bit history and patina (perhaps not so much with the Saxonia Thin as a pure dress watch, but certainly with their Datographs!)

    Not many who make dials better than GS, there’s a beauty and depth I’ve not seen in many other watches. The Lange is finished wonderfully, and in terms of pure precision is near the top, though GS takes enough care in their dials they’re up there too. Where you can really see a difference is the movement. GS is amazing but Lange is as close to perfection as you could imagine. The spring drive seconds hand makes the win for me though
