Rolex Explorer vs Lange 1

in a sporty watch. I love the double-locking mechanism along with the half-link adjustment within the buckle, as well. Lastly, the "ROLEX" logo is imprinted all along the edge of the inside of the front of the watch case. I thought it was a cool, little detail

I picked up this watch about a week ago, just before Thanksgiving, to celebrate a big promotion. I'd been eyeing the Lange 1 for a while and the moon phase really completes the look. It was refreshing to not have to play any games to get this watch, either. I'd been to the boutique here in NYC a handful of times and stayed in touched with my salesperson, but wasn't quite ready to pull the trigger

It is reserved and yet instantly recognized. It's a sports watch, but could be worn in a formal setting. It is clean, simple, and minimal while still being elegant, precisely engineered, and beautiful.

Lange 1 in white gold or platinum. The design is both very elegant and absolutely bursting with flair. I love it. In a similar vein, I love retrograde or jump hour dress watches too

Everest. This was Ian Fleming's watch, the watch James Bond wore in his books. The only reason Sean Connery was wearing a Submariner was the prop man forgot to get the proper watch and one of the directors loaned him his Submariner to wear while filming instead. The only caveat about this watch is the Amazon price

I think these watches are bound to be classics in 20 years time, with a price that will reflect that. Lange und sohne has the lange 1 priced at 15000 euro's.
