Can you please post the pics of the dial and movement?
Your watch is not ordinary pocket watch. It was made in 1878 (according the case number) as Fu (=Futter), it means 1a quality (Fu was used instead 1a before 1893).
It should be a pocket watch with date and central date hand. In 1877 Lange produced 3 date only watches with numbers 11925-11927, and in 1878 another 3 pcs - 11928-11930.
Some date only watches produced by Lange have retrograde date hand and at least one was certified by Leipzig observatory.
Hope to see your watch's photos ))

Damn it Sergey, I was supposed to be the Langepedia!! :P
On a serious note, thanks for sharing brother. Truly appreciated. You alone is a reason to visit Minsk!
