After 9 months of Spa service. I should not discuss the service invoice 😜 per price policy here 😅 I still love this watch a LOT! I think it is one of the best looking perpetual calendar out there. ...  

This is an incredible watch...

...so good I would overlook the leap year implementation : )

I know…it could have been better 👍🏻

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 10th, 2024-03:47
The overall look is what I like a PC should be.

Put it inside the month subdial and get rid of...

 
By: mdg : July 10th, 2024-17:51
...Perpetual Calendar. Problem solved : )

Perfect solution....total symmetry with the 9 o'clock sub-dial design.

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 10th, 2024-18:10

You'd think it would be obvious...

 
By: mdg : July 10th, 2024-18:43
...Patek has been doing it this way forever. Totally logical and a good design.

I got mine back today too!

Only 4.5 months for service…did not take them up on polishing/laser finishing though…that probably would have added to the timeline ...  

I did not request any polishing nor mention it but somehow it was done 🤦🏻‍♂️

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 10th, 2024-03:49

One of the most stunning PC pieces out there!

 
By: ArmisT : July 10th, 2024-04:55
What is the dial color? Is that a beige of some sort?

It is like silver color…this photo was taken indoors so didn’t show well.

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 10th, 2024-05:51
See a previous photo taken around noon. ...  

Yes, I can see it now, very nice👌🏽

 
By: ArmisT : July 10th, 2024-07:35

Gorgeous

 
By: Dimardi : July 10th, 2024-12:25
That dial color is spectacular! Glad it is back!

It is a beautiful watch, with the blue moon disc. Thank you both.

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 10th, 2024-15:12

It is better for our heart. Wow, you are right, it is one of the nicest PC.

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-06:09

It is my dream PC :))

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 10th, 2024-15:12

I easily understand that.

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-16:44

Size is also perfect at 38.5mm, sweet!

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 10th, 2024-17:10

I am glad this beauty is on your wrist again, where it belongs!

 
By: Moka-Tiger (Ron) : July 10th, 2024-06:31
Now time to enjoy it going forward.

I can certainly be worry free for next 10 years at least! Thank you.

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 10th, 2024-15:13

Happy for you that it is back on your wrist...

 
By: Goh : July 10th, 2024-07:09
I am a big fan of it too. ...  

Eye catching, in black!

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-07:14

Is this black dial in a white gold case?

 
By: ArmisT : July 10th, 2024-11:27

Yes. Case is WG.

 
By: Goh : July 10th, 2024-12:56

I was also thinking between this lower production WG model vs my Pt version but finally decided to choose the latter. Enjoy yours too!

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 10th, 2024-15:13

Great looking PC indeed my friend. Hopefully you don’t need servicing for this one for at least a few leap cycle 🤭

 
By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : July 10th, 2024-10:20

This watch was from 2007 so it was still working even after 16 yrs so I can be expecting 4 leap cycles, haha. Thanks my friend.

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 10th, 2024-15:15

That is very impressive! That design was and is timeless!

 
By: Chronometer (aka yacomino) : July 10th, 2024-16:13

When you think about it, it probably takes as long to service as it does to manufacture, given the complexity of the movement. I can only imagine the service cost!

 
By: aperna : July 10th, 2024-11:00

Much like the dials/crystals on the "lumen" models, service pricing is "semi-transparent"...

 
By: CR : July 10th, 2024-15:04
Lange publishes its Full-Service/Overhaul Price List (less costly) and Repair Price List (more costly). Prices for this Langematik Perpetual (Group 4) range from 2200 Euro (full service only, with no case refinishing) to 5400 Euro (repair plus full servic... 

Yeah....I can buy a nice brand new Speedmaster Moonwatch at Omega Boutique with that :))

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 10th, 2024-15:20

Ouch!

 
By: amanico : July 10th, 2024-15:26

🥶

 
By: hora12reborn : July 10th, 2024-18:10

Wow top beauty

 
By: TeutonicCarFan : July 10th, 2024-13:07
Love lange calendars 👍 looks brand new. My guess 7500🤣

Omg...you better go buy yourself a lottery ticket!! Very very close!

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 10th, 2024-15:25

Congrats on getting it back after all this time!

 
By: CR : July 10th, 2024-14:48
It's fine to discuss service pricing of course -- but you may not want to think about it for other reasons!

Thank you, CR for your support and advice. This level of servicing pricing is going to deter me from owning more Langes for sure....

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 10th, 2024-15:31
maybe this is what the brand wants?? They see themselves as a very high-end/exclusive watch brand and "not for everyone" unfortunately....but I have services multiple Pateks at a quarter of that price so there is room for cost/operation efficiency.

Dang 9 months that's quite some time..

 
By: jp884 : July 10th, 2024-16:52
I know when I sent in my OG Datograph it was 4 months with complete case refinishing. But then again I know Alkis did speed it up for me for being a long time friend. But the case had to go to Germany.

This one did go through Alkis and also had to go to Germany...probably parts related plus December holidays, summer holidays don't help.

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 10th, 2024-17:09

Looks tops, continue to enjoy this beauty!

 
By: dedestexhes : July 10th, 2024-16:55
Until now, I’ve never been disappointed with L&S service. Dirk

I think so too, they better stay up on the quality for the amount charged :)). Thanks dedestexhes.

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 10th, 2024-17:10

Looks brand new. Enjoy!

 
By: gary_g : July 10th, 2024-17:53

Oh yes, minty fresh. Thanks!

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 10th, 2024-18:11

It looks well refreshed😁 Such a beautiful PC.

 
By: hora12reborn : July 10th, 2024-18:07

The shine of Pt is so good, love it. Cheers!

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 10th, 2024-18:12

Glad to hear it’s back Raymond! I love my Pt Perpetual as well.

 
By: Darron : July 11th, 2024-00:17

Thank you Darron...knowing it's like brand new feels great too.

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 11th, 2024-01:19

A wonderful watch, but so it should be. There are still places in England where its price (and "spa service") will buy a house.

 
By: kjkt3 : July 11th, 2024-07:22

Still places in the US too, but you really don’t want to live there

 
By: cazalea : July 11th, 2024-13:43

Really??? Spa services can buy a house?! Do you attain Nirvana or Enlightenment and can levitate after the service? If so, I will sign up :))

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 11th, 2024-15:29

One word: Stunning!

 
By: Rhyzen : July 11th, 2024-15:01
And I must say the caseback deserves a few photos as well....

Thank you Rhyzen...

 
By: Clueless_Collector : July 11th, 2024-15:27
Here is the case back shots I did when I first got it...I also think this is one of best "micro-rotors" around. ...  

I definitely agree!

 
By: Rhyzen : July 11th, 2024-23:46
This is so much better than the full rotor.

What a delightful piece - and now back on your wrist in perfect condition, inside and out.

 
By: aviya : July 13th, 2024-04:50
Agree: the best-looking perpetual calendar watch. Enjoy every moment with her.

Yes I am and I will…it is running perfect now. Honeymoon starts again. Thank you!
