Between the two, I'd choose the 1815 up/down as well, but
take it (and all the either or advice you ever get about watches) with a grain of salt. Some prefer handwounds, some autos. Some numbers, some markers of another sort. Some big, some small. This is the beauty of it all. One thing is certain -- ANY Lange you choose will be beautifully finished and well made. That, take as the gospel!
Good luck choosing, and please let us know if you reach a decision for one.
Best,
Jed

1815 up/down vs. Grand Saxonia
Hi, I would like to hear your opinion about the above 2 watches. Your experience, opinion with them, etc. Thanks.
The new 1815 is perfect
Becuase of it's size, which is now at 40mm as compared to the old one which was way too small. The Grand Saxonia is good as well except that it's got no numbers ( which for me is not very nice for a classic watch) On top of that it is an automatic, which ...
Between the two...
...I prefer the 1815 Up/Down. I like its classical proportions, and I feel it exudes all the traditional sensibilities one expects from Lange. The dial is well-balanced, although I would not have included the "gangreserve" text next to the power reserve d...
1815 side step wempe le
How does the 1815 side step wempe le compare the 1815 up and down in your opinion? Thanks.
The Sidestep is eccentric...
...both in the execution of the hand engraving on the movement, which is embellished in a very different spirit than the 1815 Up/Down, and in the placement of the "side-stepped" small seconds. The Sidestep is a pretty watch (Aren't all Langes?), but I sup...
1815 side step wempe le vs 1815 up & down
What is your opinion of one vs the other? Thanks.
I prefer the 37mm handwound Saxonia or the 1815 up/down
I have the 1815 up/down in rose gold, but prefer the 37mm handwound Saxonia. I keep the 1815 because I like the Arabics and my Patek 5127 has stick markers, so the 1815 fits my collection better. If I didn't have the Patek, I'd buy the 37mm Saxonia. I don...
Go to the new 1815
It's perfect with a brand new caliber. The 1815 up and down was nice but I prefered the purety of the dial of the classic 1815. I wear my 36mm 1815 without any problem but the new one is perfect. I'm not a gret fan of the Grand Saxonia, I find it a bit sa...
The pure essence of Lange
I think that the essence of lange can be seen in a better way thought the traditional 1815 without reserve indication. Its the perfect watch. Of course the new 1815 is so good than the old one.
The new 1815
It seems kind of hard to get. The 2 ADs I know don't seem to have any inventory - not in any metal. What is your opinion about the RL vs the new 1815. Besides one has a large second hand and one is designed for accuracy. What else can be said about the 2 ...

Up/Down
Though it is a handsome watch, the eccentric seconds of the Sidestep with no counterbalancing sub-dial is un-Lange to me. Again, though, that's my preference. Doesn't have to be yours. Best, Jed
I like the look of the 1815.......
but would try to get the Walter Lange edition as its a little bigger than the regular version. Tony
1815 up and down walter lange le
