1815 up/down vs Lange 1
I do not have an AD near me so I won't be able to compare these two watches in person for about a year. I've been saving for the big 50th birthday and was wondering if anyone has owned both of these watches and could give me their +/- impressions on both other than the aesthetics which are personal taste. I read on this site the winding of the 1815 was disappointing. Other tidbits like this would be helpful for me in narrowing down my purchase. Thank you.

Tough choice
Both watches are iconic for the brand. I owned both for a very short while but here are my observations. The Lange 1 bought new from an authorisied dealer had problems with the date change within a week of owning it and I sent it back to Lange for repair....
Regular 1815
I am also considering buying my first entry-level Lange and have compared various models in person over the last year. My wrist size is 17,5 cm and my preferred case diameter is 38-39mm. These are my impressions: - Lange 1 (old model): Despite its 38,5mm,...
I love the design of the 1815 up & down
but I would prefer to get a Lange One in your case. I spoke about the winding feeling of the 1815 u&d in my review. Its movement belongs to the category of movements with large power reserve (3 days) and for me (I precise: for me), I prefer the windin...
Thank you to everyone who replied
I guess I will have to see how the 1815 winding feels for myself. I find pleasure in winding a watch daily so having to wind it a lot is not a deal breaker, but it will be if it's not smooth and refined.
You will know when you try it and feel it in your hands ;)
