When Lange first introduced honey gold in 2010, I got the 1815 Moonphase and the Lange 1 Tourbillon, both in HG (matching numbers). I did this primarily because HG seemed like a special metal, and I thought Lange wouldn't use it very often. But then, in subsequent years, Lange started making many more honey gold pieces , so the metal became less special in my eyes. Also, I've always like yellow gold a lot, and the appearance of honey gold pales in comparison to YG, so to speak. HG just looks a bit washed out to me, like it doesn't know what it wants to be.
The honey gold Lange 1 Tourbillon ended up being the only Lange I ever owned that I literally never wore. I just didn't like it enough to wear it, for some reason, so it sat for 10 years literally unworn, with the hang tag still attached to the strap. I finally traded it for the (older, preowned) Lange 1 Tourbillon in platinum a few years ago, which I love and wear frequently. I still have and do wear the HG 1815 Moonphase occasionally, but I find that I don't like it as much as many other watches (such as the older Emil Lange 1815 Moonphases).
So that may be more than you wanted to know about how I like my HG!
