For a 200 ann watch, ...
... a little underwhelming IMHO. Sorry to burst your bubble, but its my honest opnion.
At least if it was enamel dialed or something special, that would pigue my interest.
Quite sad for Lange to push out something like this as a representation of a landmark occasion. It certainly is not a landmark watch that I would yearn to own. I've been told that the Lange Boutique can't move it here.
The Moonphase is at least a different matter. However the moonphase is by and large a useless complication, except for cosmetic purposes. And pain in the A to set right given this level of accuracy. Oschelin has one that is simpler (with only 5 extra components) and much easier to set. That, in my mind is his sheer genius!

1815 200th Anniversary F. A. Lange
Truth to be told, I wasn't too impressed by it initially. But it grew on it, thanks in part to the many nice pics on this forum. And I succumbed. Two LE is better than one? Regards, Ian...
For sure :-)
The black is really deep and nice. Very classy and congratulations are in order.
Lange time means 1815 time
Congratulations to your mew limited 1815. A superb looking platinum watch with a deep black dial. Best Moritz
Thanks Moritz.
I wish it had more decorations on the movement to make it more interesting. But, there aren't many pt. Lange with black dial, so I can't complain too much. Regards, Ian
There are too many Vlads on PuristSPro
i think Fx was the key Vlad here for this one lol! Congrats bro! Great anniversary piece and congrats for the 2nd Lange LE Anniversary timepiece you have Cheers Robin
Thanks bro.
Hope Lange has something interesting for you at the watches and wonders this year. Regards, Ian
Beautiful, congrats Ian!
It would be pretty cool to have your new acquisition photographed next to your platinum RL One black, one white, both about 40mm. The yin/yang of platinum Langes!
That's a great idea.
Even though the RL is slightly larger at 40.5 mm. I think I'd do just what you suggested. Thanks bro! Regards, Ian
congrats!
I'm going in for a test-drive tomorrow or Wednesday. Am afraid and curious at the same time
Congratulations, I think this is a nice moce
We had a little discussion lately about black dial Langes. Thi sone is beautiful and has a lot of presence. By the way, these are difficult to shoot and your did tis very nicely. Wear it in the best of health Ian! Cheers, Mark

Many points have been discussed on this anniversary PT 1815
and many of us, including me, have the same thoughts as you. I had also wished for a more special anniversary 1815 Lange to be honest The 1815 honey gold is imho a very cool watch! I love it and regretted not getting it when I had the chance (Ianny will k...
Your 'humble opinion'
is given in rather bad form. Really shouldn't be raining on other people's parade. Whatever happened to 'nothing nice to say then don't say anything'? It's a good thing this incoming wasn't aimed at piquing your interest, otherwise OP would be sorely disa...
Inappropriate "in my huble opinion" too
First, this is a celebration post, not a review/critic thread. So instead of showering his pleasure you could just say, "congratz to get what you like". Secondly, There was the L1 Tourbillon Anniversary with enamel dial already: and not at the same price ...
Agree with Mark + 3
Though I wished for a more special anniversary Lange, I must say this PT anniversary is at a good price point and is still a handsome and nice Lange. And as stated, let\'s share Ian\'s joy and be happy with a community that shares. I am always happy to se...
For fellow Purist mycroft to post this, I felt...

There are appropriate threads and time
for such criticisms and certainly, this is not one of them.. The ability to share someone else's joy is a virtue lacking in petty men.
Congrats
to your wonderful black 1815. I appreciate its purity and simplicity very much! Enjoy this beauty and wear it in best health, Thomas
Congratulations ...
... on your purchase. I certainly mean no malice towards you, or any others who have so promptly taken up arms in your defence. I expressed some personal opinions that, it seems, no one wanted to hear. That it is a contrarian view that differs from the cr...
No problem about honest opinion Mycroft. Otherwise it is boring.
But, you didn't understand what we wanted to express. It was just not the right moment, not the right place. One member linked the review Fx made: you can fully express your opinion there and we will of course read it with pleasure and interest. Cheers, M...

My discomfort was not with content, but with context. Context is (almost) everything.
congratulations for this wonderful watch...mine says..
Hello Enjoy this watch as it is truly stunning and very wearable. I succumbed to the temptation because I feel that is a very special anniversary edition and (finally) a LE without an astronomic price. This watch is very coherent with the lange aim to hav...
It is a great 1815.
Thanks a lot for sharing this nice wristshot Christian! I totally agree with your statement. Enjoy it Cheers, Mark
The best things in life
are often the simplest. Congrats Ian - The combination of the black dial with the 40mm stepped bezel is simply gorgeous!
Many congrats Ian! This is one that I might pull the trigger on one day..
.. but lets see what W+W bring us next week ! Best regards -- Seeks
What are your thoughts 1 month later?
Dear ianny and christianch, I am wondering how you feel about the watch now it has gotten a little bit of time to sink in? Still the same? Do you wear it a lot? Or is it maybe a tad to \'normal\' / \'under the radar\'?
well well...I had a few more incomings
like the omega seamaster "spectre" edition and an omega chrono sedna gold first omega in space that took a bit more wrist time to be honest. The Lange is still well loved and admired altho I was a bit surprised to see the second limited edition in honey g...
tnx
for your reaction! I\'m still contemplating between this watch and the FPJ Chronometre Bleu. But now I got invited to go to the Lange factory (didn\'t say no to that of course) and have a look around so I\'ll probably end up with the Lange... ;-)
I have tried the FPJ Chronometre bleu before buying this Lange and...
Well let me tell you my opinion: first the FPJ boutique didn't allow me to take any photo of my wrist with the watch. This was very weird so I asked why and they said these were the instruction of FP Journe. I didn't really like this and found it a bit ab...
tnx for the heads up
It\'s an eccentric man, isn\'t he? Legibility is important to me. I was already guessing that the Chronometre is more of a \'toy\' / \'fun\' watch. The 1815 is suitable for almost all occasions and I do like that simplicity of the pt & black (dial) a lot ...
Hi Arie. The 1815
in any metal is a keeper IMHO. I am also drawn to the WG and PG versions and would probably be equally delighted to own any of them. Personally, I love understated watches and actually feel that the 1815 is more me than my Datograph up/down. On this parti...
Thank you so much for your elaborate response Ian!
Not that you are helping me. Au contraire. That Chronometre pics look stunning! Now I\'m starting to think, no believe, I need them both... Though it does shines a lot, so what happens with the legibility in summer? Apart from my fairly recent move toward...
Haha, you're welcome Arie
You're not alone. I am equally enamoured and hope to be able to acquire a Chrono Bleu too when my ammunition is replenished. Trust me, my pics do not do sufficient justice to it. The dial legibility is excellent despite its gloss so you shouldn't be too c...
