I think the same can be said for most of the toubillions - there are only a few examples where they do not advertise the fact that watch has one by exposing it on the watch face. Ditto the power reserve.
The only thing that bugs me with the RL is that they felt the need to put LANGE in large type on the buckle. It is, in my humble opinion, rather necessary and even a touch vulgar.

I'm sure our moderators will be posting photos soon but until then...lets just say it is now official!! A unique Lange complication that has been under research and development for 5 years and now its true. 31 days power reserve!!! - Just two barrels!!! B...

Its true, 46mm...But there was no other way due to the construction and architecture of the barrels, the size of the springs etc... Best regards, Spiros

I think it would be better with the power reserve indicator on the back. I'm also of the opinion that it's a little on the large side as well. I personally like large watches but I find that the RL, while smaller than some of my other watches, wears quite...
What exactly is the advantage
of winding only once a month for such an uncomplicated watch, and the advantage using a special instrument? Is the power reserve indicator as important as indicated by his bigness in comparison with the s-hand? Or could you work with a date instead of tha...

31 turns
Actually, it's reported to take just 31 turns of the key to wind it completely. I've got watches with much shorter power reserves that can take 100 turns or more to wind fully, so I think the technical achievement behind the Lange 31 is remarkable.
Tendonitis
I enjoy winding a watch every day or every few days but can't imagine how much winding would be necessary to fully power this watch. I suspect it would be tiring and perhaps result in tendonitis.
