How do you mean "it's not being loved by market"?

I'm curious about this. From what I can tell, preowned prices for these have not changed much in many years, and there's no difference in preowned price between those with the large protruding rectangular pusher and those with the small circular recessed pusher (the model number never changed, ref. no. 310.025, even after Lange recessed the pusher).
Functionally, I greatly prefer the earlier pieces with the large protruding rectangular pusher. That pusher is the "single-correct" feature: Each push advances every indicator (day, date, moonphase, etc.) by 1 full day. I use it very frequently -- every time I wear the watch -- and it requires many pushes to set the watch correctly if you haven't worn it for awhile. It's MUCH easier to push the large rectangular button (with your finger) than to use a toothpick to push a small recessed button.
Also, I'd much rather have the (larger) winding box that came with the very first watches (which had the protruding pusher), because those earliest winders were made by Scatola.
Here is a bit more about the first-generation vs. second-generation winders that came with this model.
