It's very well wearable....

Hi Jay,

it's not a small watch, but it's very well wearable, IMO.
Just keep in mind something like the good old Speedmaster is about 42mm - not far away and due to the nicely
rounded case band it works quite well.

Here're some older pictures form Basel:

 

Movement design and finish are very nice and very "old school" in the best sense of the word.
One thing I personally don't like that much is the non functional diamond - I'd prefer to have it without  - but that's my taste only.

RE. "pusher feel" - I played a little bit with it, but I'd never be able to tell you anything meaningfull as for a comparison with the Dato for example. I'd also keep in mind that one large part of the "pusher feel" is due to the specific set up (oftenn much more than design) - and the beauty of buying from an independent is that you simply could tell Marco you'd like to have a pusher feel "soft and still crisp", even better than the Dato - I'm sure Marco would do his best smile

Best regards
Suitbert

Lange and Heyne monopusher Chrono question

Has anyone played with or do they have any experience with this watch? Is it very heavy on the wrist, and how smooth is the pusher? Is it Dato smooth? Certainly pictures of the movement are very nice. Just wondering. Thank You, Jay

Very nice piece

I have seen and handled the watch, and my impression of it is that while it is substantially sized it is not too heavy at all, and also that the mechanism operates very smoothly. Can't offer a direct comparison with the Dato -- will leave this to others. ... 

Isn't 44mm a monster, especially with the 3rd lug? The movement just looks hot.

It has a level of class that is so nice. Is it finished flawlessly? Also, is the dial fired enamel? I need to go to Dresden, lol. Thanks, Jay

Hi Jay, It is superb, finished flawlessly mmm, I don't think any watch could receive that. The human touch is not flawless by definition. It is indeed an enamel dial with single sunk second hand sub dial. The 60 minute counter around the outside is in blu... 

Is it fired enamel? nt
