In honor of the first Tuesday of the year...
Too bad we can't do polls on here. Or maybe we can and I'm too much of a Luddite to understand how to set up a poll?
Here's the question: Your hated Uncle Joseph used to make you cry every time he came to visit by calling you "Elephant Kid," in reference to your extraordinarily prominent ears. You've heard through the grapevine that he recently choked on a large chunk of garlic bread and has left behind this mortal coil. As an extra bonus, he's left you $100,000 in his will, along with a note saying, "You were always my favorite, Elephant Kid."
Do you choose to buy the:
- Calibre 321 Canopus Gold for $81,000
- A. Lange & Sohne Zeitwerk in white gold for $89,200
In either case, you will have enough left over to buy plenty of Cheetos.
Which is it? #1 or #2???

I'd get the steel on steel 321 version (311.30.40.30.01.001) for 14,000 and change and pocket the rest.
I'd go for 2 though.
I'd probably get a SEIKO 5 and spend the rest on cosmetic surgery and therapy 😭
I also don't get what the precious metal gets you in this case. The steel 321 has a subtle khaki colored lume which I actually appreciated when I handled it.
I find the zeitwork a bit too brutalist for my delicate sensibility.
Hey, hey, hey... you guys are cheating here! Uncle Joseph specifically stipulated in his will that the $100k inheritance MUST necessarily be spent on either the 321 Canopus Gold or the Zeitwerk. And Cheetos. If you don't buy either of the watches, the executor of the will is forced to purchase $100k of Cheetos and ship to your address.
I'll take the Canopus because I'll get more Cheetos in the end. Win! Win!
The A. Lange & Söhne Zeitwerk. I mean, who makes a watch that absurd to such a high standard? That, and nobody will mistake it for something else.
P.S.: I will donate the Cheetos to charity.
#1 for me... but 5 stars for the hypothetical scenario that sounds too detailed to be only be hypothetical. Uncle Joseph is a gem.
#1 for sure. Then I’d spend the other $10k on therapy so I could get over spending $90k on a watch. 😂
I'd spend it all on travel and then bring home the advertising booklets of the watches that I missed out on.....true story it happened....
I am an aspiring member of the Omega Fan Boy club however, in this scenario, I'm going ALS.
A Lange and it’s not close. Can i get flaming hot cheetos with that?
Its the 321 for me. I might have even chocked uncle Joe and stuffed the garlic bread in his mouth as a cover up for that watch.
I'm not Omega fan but this one is beautiful to be honest.But still...far from A.Lange
