Oct 13, 2020,01:29 AM
 

Abe’s recent posts on Lange 1 with Guilloche dials reminded me that I have not worn mine for awhile. I need to visit the bank soon. in the meantime, here are some WS and still photos from my phone.

So much wonderful details on the dial, one can lose a few seconds or minutes staring at it.

Best regards.

I see you point about keeping in the safe Best regards and stay safe

Hello CR, many thanks!

Very fun watch to photograph though a bit challenging! The watch is in the safe now and let me check next time. From memory, mine is definitely not the LE and it's not numbered. So it is likely that mine is just a Soiree and may not be from the Sincere re... 

Thanks very much and I hope all is well! I appreciate the clarification that it's not a numbered LE.

Yes, I have the WG version, 110.030. It was my first Lange. That reference was initially offered exclusively by Sincere for about a year and was then offered more widely through other Lange ADs. These guilloche versions were not initially called "Soiree."...  

My pleasure, dear CR

Interesting to read that Lange adopted the nickname Soiree in the later years and I am glad they did, even though it might lead to a little confusion. Also, a very nice shot of your White Gold. Best.

That is spectacular!

I tried to fine this on a few other sites. Correct me if I am wrong. Is it a 37mm case? Most of the places call it a ladies watch. If so what would you call the Rolex Day Date 36?

38.5mm case -- standard Lange 1 size. But Lange made...

 
 By: CR : October 15th, 2020-21:49
... other guilloche dial Lange 1 models in the smaller 36mm size. If you see a protruding rectangular date corrector pusher at 10 o'clock, then it's 38.5mm. If the pusher is not visible from the top of the watch (because it's recessed), then it's the smal... 

Thanks CR [nt]

Who made the strap? [nt]

Kaufmann!...

 
 By: CR : October 22nd, 2020-20:07
So this was wayyy back 20 years ago. This was my first Lange. I got it from a European grey dealer (at a time when there were only 2 US ADs), and I said I needed a custom-length short strap with it. Kaufmann had been Lange's official strap supplier just b... 

amazing watch

Hi CR, i am confused between this watch and the stealth. Could you please tell your thoughts and also how much should I pay for this ( a second-hand dealer is asking me $23k)

Different metals and dials

 
 By: CR : November 10th, 2020-18:57
The Stealth (101.025) has a platinum case and rhodium dial. My watch (110.030) has a white gold case and mother-of-pearl dial. The Stealth was in production for a longer period of time. More Stealths exist, and the Stealth is generally a more popular and ... 

Thank you so much,

i will let everyone know what i decide

I wonder...

 
 By: WatchEater : October 14th, 2020-00:14
Why doesn't Lange do more guilloched dials? They look amazing IMO.

I agree, the Guilloche dials are amazing

For the Lange 1 20th anniversary in 2014, Lange produce these five sets as the picture below.. Very cool also! Thank you for kind words! Best regards ...  

Stunning L1

Many thanks my friend

I will grab it out for more wrist time soon ! Best regards

Any videos of AL&S making these dials?

 
 By: doubleup : November 13th, 2020-20:31
That last picture is Lange catalog worthy. Nice work my friend

Doubtful, because Lange rarely makes their own dials.

 
 By: CR : November 13th, 2020-20:48
These dials are difficult to photograph in ways that adequately capture their beauty. In brighter (normal) light, they look largely white. In dimmer lighting, you get that amazing prismatic effect and can see many more colors.

many thanks my friend my friends

 
 By: Seeks : November 13th, 2020-22:49
I do not recall seeing any videos in the past. The MOP dial colour changes a lot depending on lighting condition. It looks vibrant under studio type of lightings like the last photo. It looks sedated and pale under cloudy type of lighting as in my second ...
