Did some very German driving yesterday in the sense that both car (250SL) and watch (191.028) are epic representatives of German engineering and design. Claus ...

I love the photo...

Is that larger Lange 1 (Grand Lange?). Also a black dial on rose gold? I have an Lange 1 from early 2000's that has a black dial. You don't see them very often.

Thank you Claus...

I was hesitant to speculate on the color of the Lange 1 as I am color blind with certain colors, and can not distiguish between many dark colors for example blue and black. Sort of embarassing for me. Nevertheless the watch looks fantastic!

Love the Pagode, most beautiful SL in my humble opinion 👍 And also love your Lange 1. Allow me to follow up with the reference following yours. My 101.029 😊 although on a much simpler ride. ...
