I was determined to get this tonight.

So even though it was redirected to the most inconvenient depot, your indefatigable reporter carried on.







18 years and probably twice the cost but I have it.




36mm never looked so good.

Well done Mike! A lovely addition to your collection and a lot more wearable than many of your other Lange watches

I knew you'd like this one.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : July 18th, 2018-05:45
Thanks, Sham.

One of the few used watches

 
 By: sham1 : July 18th, 2018-09:37
I would be happy to buy even though it is at a premium. Lovely size, incomparable dial and the movement is not bad either

All that and more. [nt]

 
 By: TheMadDruid : July 18th, 2018-09:42

Beautiful watch!!

 
 By: BMR : July 17th, 2018-20:34

Cannot wait for pictures of it wrapped around the throat of Gordon‘s or lounging on some Swedish stones

Wait not want not.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : July 18th, 2018-05:48
No, that doesn't make any sense. How about "coming to Forum near you"? Thanks my friend.

It already is on a forum near me...

 
 By: KMII : July 18th, 2018-11:10

Yes, about 18 years.

 
 By: TheMadDruid : July 18th, 2018-05:52
Had a deposit on one from a gray market dealer and backed out when he couldn't provide the papers. It has been on the back burner at times; but every time I saw one that was affordable it came with no paperwork. Until now! And thank you for the wishes!

Yes! In Latin! [nt]
