I have tried on an Octo Finissimo of various flavors multiple times. They are technologically very impressive, but the extremely wide bracelet makes them look like you are wearing a big leather cuff bracelet rather than a watch. It’s a look that a lot of people don’t like on themselves.
The forged carbon ones are really nice and very light on the wrist.
I just did this myself (between the 1815 Up/Down and FiftySix Complete Calendar). The VC has a really short power reserve which made the decision for Lange easier. The regular base FiftySix model does not have a Geneva seal and is not an in-house movement, so to me it cannot compete with the base 1815.
Both of those are in a completely different league than the JLC. If you can afford the VC or Lange then the JLC, while a fantastic watch, does not merit consideration.
I really wish mods would crack down on these. I have no problem with “I’ve tried for hours and I can’t figure out what this old vintage Hamilton is” but the ones that have clearly made zero effort or even tried critical thinking are obnoxious.
Are you working in the kind of place where people give out $130,000 watches to each other?
So can this
We wanna see watches not spreadsheets
