but upon personally inspecting older and newer timepieces, speaking to the watchmakers at Lange and touring the manufacture I realized the finishing techniques today have improved. Lange watches today are finished better.
I'm curious to hear ...

both sides of the story. Can someone elaborate please?

Here's what one of the most respected watch journalists wrote to me in 2015: On the subject of production time, it is clear to me that Lange has gradually reduced the finishing on its watches over the years, so I assume they have industrialised other proc...
I think you may have miss understood my post...

The movement doesn’t look THAT different to my eyes
