So the date has been set
I finally had the opportunity to see and hold in the flesh the new 1815. I did a double take when I walked by the showcase. All 4 variants were here in Singapore. Forgot to check the LE number on the platinum piece though. However, they were for display only and not ready for sale yet.
I must say the new size sits well on the wrist but the thickness caught me off guard. I half expected the thickness to be slightly more than the old 1815 but the new one is almost as thick as the Lange One or RL. But definitely not a problem under a shirt cuff.
Did someone mention a Tokyo gtg? I should be popping over in June, depending on how the current flu outbreak develops. Maybe we could do a Lange and Panerai gtg then?
Congrats again Stephen on the PLM and new 1815. Cheers!

Hello my fellow Lange Purists, Trust you all are having a great start to the weekend. For me here in Japan it's the start of our "Golden Week" holiday, which is when the consecutive weekdays of next week happens to be a public holiday. Anyways, i got a ve...
Excellent news, indeed, Stephen!
Wow, seems that Number 7 is your lucky number!!! Can't wait to see your pics of this Monster. Very happy for you, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Merci beaucoup mon ami!
It sure is my number ay! I will post photos of these just for you mon ami! Wait! A bientot Stephen
Stephen, that is good news indeed.............
Shall look forward to seeing your photos in July.
1815
Was invited to the preview. But I was surprised that the watch didn't really sing to me. Can't really point out why though. Anyway, I'm looking forward to the seeing your PLM. Warm regards, iAn
The watch didn'T appeal to me at 1st sight too buddy
It took a 2nd fitting, and the persuasion of my family when we went to see it again that I decided on it. That's why i lost out on no.7 for the 1815. But i'm more than satisfied with 77, better than alot of others which i can't even get a 7 at all. Cheers...
Hmm may be I should check it out again.
I also saw the 1815 Chrono. It was the last available piece that Mr. You-know-who managed to hunt down for me. I was surprised he found one actually. But, somehow the dial looked a little on the "messy" side. It's a 39mm watch that looked more like a 38mm...
I'd say to go for the Lange...
Hey there buddy, Lol i did go out today during the awesome weather, went to Roppongi and Ginza. Beautiful. The part about me not caring for auto-watches is true, but not the non-Pt part, look at all my Panerai's ( which ranks among my most beloved and tre...
Thanks buddy
So what did you buy at Ginza today? More cuff links? You forgot that my preferred watch size is between 40mm and 41mm. Anything above 41mm looks kinda big on me, but I may make an exception for sporty or fun watches such as the IWC 7 Day PR. Dress watches...
Bitte schone mate
Didn't purchase anything, was just window shopping and strolling. Apologies, i really did forget it. So the timezone would be too big, and the 1815 chrono too small. LoL, you want fun? Why not go for a 47mm Panerai, which ranks VERY HIGH in my list, haha!...
Congratulations
The whole thing is about time, so it makes perfect sense that it takes a bit of time to get it. I can hardly wait to see my first Richard Lange myself. It is definitely something I am looking forward to.
Thanks Patrick!
It sure is all ONLY about time, in it's entirety and perfection, especially in the RL PLM. Even then, the pieces are arriving faster than I expected, so i'D say that Santa will be visiting me early this year. The Richard Lange is a very perfect watch my f...
Enamelling...
Simple and neat it is but many hard work behind this simplicity only known by those who know. Purist that is. Regards
Indeed Jed, 2 very much "Marine Chronometer for the Wrist"
Especially the PLM! Cheers and have a great weekend! Stephen
And a Ay Yah Yai back to you too!
Thanks! I'm grateful for all your responses! Cheers and have a great Sunday! Stephen
Cantik, cantik dan cantik.
It is one of the best enemal dials I have ever come across. Good and wise choice. Regards Ling
Terima Kashi Kawan Ling...
Thanks for your kind words. This will be a piece to remain in my family, just as all my watches are. Cheers Stephen
Congrats! It's a lot faster than....
... L1 MP Tokyo.... But perhaps we can meet in July (I am schedule to visit then) and see how each of them is! Ken
It sure is Ken!
Indeed! Just give me a holla when you get here as usual! Cheers Stephen

Great photos Lionel!
I was reading your other post on TZ, and enjoyed it very much! Yea, the pieces are currently travelling around the world for customers of AD's to have a preview, and the ones that you saw in Singapore are the exact same pieces that were in Japan, so the P...
trembling, trembling ...
But I have no automatic on my wrist, simply and "only" the RL, which is somehow impervious to - trembling. And hopefully earthquakes, that you will even more hopefully NEVER have to experience. Still I enjoyed watching the waves in the swimming pool at th...
The waves might just reach you my friend!
Amery! Wie geht es dir? It's been awhile since I last heard from you, trust things are going just perfectly, especially with that RL on your wrist, definitely! We haven't been having much earthquakes as of late, which is always a worry, because the longer...
