All The A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 Watches
Since its birth in 1994, the A. Lange & Sohne Lange 1 watch has been the brand's most iconic watch. A real gamble at the time, it proved to be a very successful design. You can also thank it for the "big date" complication - that they refer to as an "outsized date." Here is a nice picture from A. Lange & Sohne with the complete family of all the Lange 1 watches to-date. I thought it was a nice way to reflect on the collection. Below you will find a cool spec chart that discusses each of the models and when they were released. Click on the images (above and below) to make them larger.

Six Professionals That Tend To Be Watch Lovers
Enjoying watches is typically not a solo activity. Watch lovers like myself feel the need constantly discuss or mentions watches, much to the dismay of non-watch lovers. But when you meet a fellow horological enthusiast, the conversation quickly becomes lively as shared interests intermingle. In my time I have realized that certain types of people tend to like watches more than others. This is by no means an exhaustive list, but represents six professions that tend to attract a watch loving bunch. Though it could also easily be suggested that entrance into the profession itself engenders a new appreciation that all the while lay dormant.LawyersMyself being in this group I felt it prudent to mention first. Lawyers comes in all varieties but one thing all lawyers (should) have in common is a distinct attention to detail. We also value items of inherent value, and reliability.

Little bit of military
Been overseas now for a while and only brought my TAG Heuer Indy 500. Not to everyone's taste but its my daily so does get quite a battering!Family came to visit this week and brought my Omega with them. 1953, RAF. Good condition, complete and original.Here's a pic.

My new (and first) PP 5711
Well first of all, as several of you know I wasn't sure which PP to buy so I solicited opinions/suggestions from you all on this forum. After weighing all the different possibilities I decided to purchase a new 5711/01A as my first PP and honestly, I couldn't be happier. I decided to park my Daytona and use this one as my daily watch. My Daytona shows plenty of wear with scratches and such but I purchase watches to wear so I expect this one to be no different. Once again THANKS to all for helping me over the hump on making a decision. Here are some pics.

Tall guy and 36mm
I'm 6'3 tall, about 240 lbs with a 7 and a smidge inch wrist. My daily wear watch for the past 7 years has been a Seiko 6309. I want to buy my first Rolex to be my 24/7 everyday watch. I like the look of the older 36mm Explorers (like the 5500), but I've had a couple people say they think it would look to small on me. I'm a police officer and would wear the watch at work. I don't like the garish giant watch look, but I'm used to the size of the Seiko. I'd likely end up putting the Rolex on a rubber strap at some point (my preference). Thoughts?
