It is a pity we don't speak more about the Daymatic
We all know the reasons, it is an automatic Lange One with a central winding mass, it loses a bit the spirit of the original Lange One and so on...
But, the blue version is really an amazing piece... and the same for the other versions...

Agreed. And I understand that the blue-dial Daymatic...
... maybe the least-selling of the WG/blue dial models that were introduced last year. If Lange stops making that version in the next year or two, I think it could become collectible, since so few are out there (and it's the only Daymatic with luminous ma...
I understood, I just find it strange that Lange is staying behind
monetary wise despite their offering. Amazing watches finish wise, technically wise and rarity wise.
I have heard that Lange doesn't buy many of their watches back at auctions...........
Whereas some of the other brands do this quite a bit which really helps secondary prices on the older watches. Still you need to be lucky on the models within each brand that you do own as well. I look back at some of the things I sold just in the last 15...
I prefer this...
...to the 'regular' Lange 1. I like reading the time on the right side...better for those who wear it on the left wrist.
Saw it last week at the A.L&S boutique in Central HK
And I absolutely loved it. The blue is stunning in real life. I was mentioning the other day that if I were to get another Lange, the Lange 1 Moonphase would be on the shortlist. This would be the other one. I held and tried them both in WG/blue (Daymatic...
Risk
At the risk of stepping on toes, I find the dial face so confusing while all,others of the brand excel in logic intuitive reading, this one is not.
yes but it was not possible to have the same lay-out to house the large barrel
Lange took the decision to preserve the 3 day power reserve of the Lange One. Fx
Nice watch but
There are 2 things I don't like: 1- the red font for the S for sunday. I cannot stand any red font on any dial. Red should be banished from dials and watches all together 2- knowing the Lange 1 exists, there's a real risk of viewing this watch as a 'hey l...
Thanks for your remarks.
1) I like the little touch of red 2) I also like the mirror effect. Why? Because it brings an alternative and people who wear watches of the left wrist are happy with this subdial location. Fx
At the end of the day what only matters is that you enjoy the watch :)
Tastes differ what is really important is that you enjoy it and anybody's comments shouldn't change that fact. Wear it in great health ))
Beautiful
The blue is a bit darker in the photo than I saw it in boutique though. If they combine the new day night moon phase, it will be perfect
Thank you for sharing this lovely piece
A watch I have tried on in cream dial / yellow gold case configuration and, honestly, would love to own. Like Amanico, however, I wish they had used a micro rotor movement. Lange’s implementation of the micro rotor (should I say ‘three quarter rotor’?) is...
If you Google "why does the week start on monday" and ...
"why does the week start on sunday," you'll come up with a number of different explanations. It's a good question!
