When I reacquired my ALS 1815 a couple months ago, it came with an old style box that is showing some wear. I’ve been on the hunt, high and low for a newer style ALS box in better shape. Well look what arrived today, in top shape! I’m thrilled!

Took about 2 months of searching. I contacted ALS in Germany, several AD’s, several non-AD’s with whom I’ve done business with before, various other sources that sell watch boxes and accessories. Apparently ALS Germany won’t sell them separately, and no o...

For the very interesting history lesson! I’ve owned a few 1815’s, one came with the square box, (as you have shown in your first pic), the other three with the longer box, as I have pictured in my original post For me, the box I just acquired is the more ... 

Yes, I really like this current presentation of yours!

Lange definitely mixed and matched those original boxes. Sometimes 1815s would come in the larger boxes, etc. I think Lange would provide a different box type upon request of the customer or AD.
