I was actually thrilled, but not about the movement upgrade...

I was very, very happy to see a limited number of pieces released in yellow gold, just like Lange did with the Walter Lange 1815 Homage piece (the chronograph without the reset button). This release of a limited number of YG pieces strengthens my belief that REAL gold -- gold gold -- is finally making a comeback!
But honestly, I wasn't expecting anything major due to the small amount of pre-release press. I got a single email from Lange a few days before the release, I saw the one "teaser" pic, and I didn't hear anyone discussing this. So, I wasn't expecting anything special, especially with COVID-19 happening. Because of all that, I had low expectations, and it made sense to me that this was just another Lange 1-series movement upgrade. I would have been much more disappointed if we got multiple "teasers" over the past few weeks.
But let's hope for more innovation of the sort Lange produced in the past after COVID-19 has passed us!
