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!
Happy to reunite again…
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 : )
Put it inside the month subdial and get rid of...
...Perpetual Calendar. Problem solved : )
You'd think it would be obvious...
...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 ...
One of the most stunning PC pieces out there!
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.
See a previous photo taken around noon. ...
I am glad this beauty is on your wrist again, where it belongs!
Now time to enjoy it going forward.
Much like the dials/crystals on the "lumen" models, service pricing is "semi-transparent"...
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...
Congrats on getting it back after all this time!
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....
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..
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.
Looks tops, continue to enjoy this beauty!
Until now, I’ve never been disappointed with L&S service. Dirk
Thank you Rhyzen...
Here is the case back shots I did when I first got it...I also think this is one of best "micro-rotors" around. ...
What a delightful piece - and now back on your wrist in perfect condition, inside and out.
Agree: the best-looking perpetual calendar watch. Enjoy every moment with her.
