Sometimes the backside gets all the love. No exception for this monster 😉. The contrast between the classic and simple dial with the complexity of the movement makes this a true Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde. A watch which can be worn without fear of someone tr...  

Beautiful. [nt]

Movement is a work of art indeed.

Absolutely 😉👍 [nt]

Well put and fully agree 😉 [nt]

Thanks Raymond. Absolutely agree that this piece is for the connaisseur as it appears very simple at first glance...

one of the many reasons why I like it. It holds a secret just for the owner to share if the occasion allows. I was and am still after the platinum version with the white enamel dial. Thought I had one in the bag but it did not work out in the end which wa... 

Good Afternoon!

My favourite understated three-hander.

The relatively simple dial (in comparison to the Grand Feu enamel dials of the PT and RG versions) can be contrasted with the opulent beauty and technical overachievement observable from the rear. Near perfection! Keep posting more wonderful shots of this... 

Absolutely agree although I also would like the platinum version with white enamel dial...😉👍

actually thought I had one lined up but circumstances with COVID-19 made it logistically too difficult so was not meant to be, sigh 😔 😕 Hopefully I will get another opportunity in the future 🤷‍♂️🤦‍♂️

They are indeed very capable 😉 [nt]

Had it a while but have not worn it much. Remember when I told you that I had a few surprises in the works with white enamel dial...

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : August 24th, 2020-12:41
well, one of them was a 1st edition of the PLM in platinum. Sadly, it did not work out due to travel restrictions and logistics. If it did work out, I would have posted both of them together and could have done a comparison. Still undecided about this one... 

With pleasure! [nt]

A black enamel dial would be gorgeous,

 
 By: Metachronous : August 24th, 2020-16:49
but I find beauty in the understated black galvanised solid silver dial - I love it’s restrained impact - which hides the surprisingly uber complex calibre. For me, it’s ideal just the way it is.

I am happy with the galvanized and lacquered black dial the way it is. I just also want the white enamel dial with the platinum case as well...

...sometimes I wish Lange made theirs a bit bigger. No matter, the fusee and chain is pure sex : )

Hard to beat any complicated Lange on the back side!

 
 By: jleno : August 24th, 2020-16:13
I've been more interested in this fusee + chain complication lately. Lange was the first to do it in a wrist watch, correct? Is it keeping time accurately?

Have not timed it lately but when I first got it, I did do a 3 day test and it was ~ +1 - 2 secs over 3 days with me winding it once per day.

 
 By: holdemchamp1225 : August 24th, 2020-16:28
what is interesting is the number of components in this movement, over 900. That is more than some grand complications which is difficult to believe for a simple 3 hander 😉 Just goes to show that you have to look beyond just the pretty face and see the co... 

Backside is stunning! Thanks for sharing!

Hello to Yokozuna...Hope all is well! -D-

The ultimate stealth watch...

...I also like being under the radar Congrats to yours!! Do you also adjust it before winding? A nice feature I think... ...  

Holdemchamp... what is this “stealth adjustment” you elude to?

Beautiful backside LOL😀😀
