Ok, so it's not the question you asked and we shouldn't muddy the waters.
But I would go for the Lange 1 Moonphase - the non-Grand one. I personally find the balance of the dial better with the moonphase in the seconds subdial...there's a poetry and elegance there, especially in rose gold, which just blew me away. I'm not a rose gold guy at all but this one was a surprise hit that had me ready to throw caution - and my wallet - to the wind and make a rash purchase on the spot. Somehow I held on...probably only because Mrs E was there...but it still haunts me.
Between the two you are considering, I would pick...hmm. Not sure really. If going for the Grand L1, I would take the Lumen, which is really super-cool. The Saxonia...love the dial proportions but can't quite fall for the movement. So...not sure and I think it depends on what else is in your collection...
Let us know what you decide!

Lange dilemma
Hi guys I'm looking at getting my first Lange so doing my homework before making a decision.I have a thing for moon phase watches so I'm deciding between these two pieces. I'm looking forward to your advise and comments/opinions Iqbal...
Everybody is going to say Lange one,
but it is your taste, your choice which outdoes.,
Lange 1 moonphase
Seen both, love the 1 moonphase. Wanted to get it so many times just so many missed opportunities.
Saxonia!
I was debating the same thing (only in theory for now, but one day I want to put it into practice), Although not your most classic Langes, for me the Saxonia is the one. The symmetry for me makes it perfect, and it is still Lange enough (big date, perfect...
Lange 1
Saxonia moonphase is great also, but i find the date button at 10 o clock keeps bothering me aesthetically
Interesting how different things bother different people
I like symmetry, hence why I would go for the Saxonia. I completely get what you are saying with the date button, but somehow it does not break the symmetry in my mind. In other cases, something like that may be a showstopper for me from buying a watch (l...
You are right!!
There are million types of watches out there and there are million types of people out there!! Watches which are not appealing to you will surely appealing to somebody! In case of saxonia moonphase, hide the date button, and i am definitely sold off!!
Now I will not be able to ignore the button
Once you read about it, can your brain still ignore it?
Loool!!
I'm still looking for the next generation of lange moonphase with hidden date button!! Lange, do you hear us???
But surprisingly it doesn't bother me aesthetically!!
I guess that is because the assimetry of the dial itself. Place it at 4 and it will be unbalanced!
Funny how the slightest things can make or brake a watch for a person.
Collecting. It\'s emotional.

Lange one
With a watch like this, hand wound is the way to go. There is so much pleasure in winding a watch by hand. And that power reserve! You are both a fortunate and capable man to have the option of owning a Lange with a moon phase. Neither choice will be wron...
Lange
Thnx guys Going to think about for little longer will post when I pull the trigger
wait for the next watch fair: you might get the new L1 mp, not the Grand L1 mp or go for
an 1815, the up and down in particular. The reason is simple: it has got a technical feature from the uber-Lange PLM, which is to stop at exactly zero when the power reserve has come to an end. The new Lange 1, but not the Grand L1 as far as I know, has g...
Love the face of the Saxonia MP...
...but not a fan of the full rotor Agree with the above for the L1
My vote would be for the Saxonia MP................
I had it on about a month ago, the watch is stunning! Lange really hit a homerun with that watch. The grand MP is stunning as well I just prefer the size and dial layout of the original MP instead. Good luck with your decision. Tony

What do you like about each? I\'m assuming you want the moonphase and rose gold for that elegant look. Both are great pieces and fill different aspects to a collection if you ask me. The Saxiona Moonphase, it\'s significantly priced less than the GL1. It\...
The Lange One without any doubt.
But not the Grand Lange One, the Lange One Moonphase. I find it more balanced. Fx
Agreed...............
If you include all three models for consideration the Lange One Moonphase is the one to get. The watch is pretty much perfect to my eye and it works well both in rose gold and platinum. One of Lange's true masterpieces as far as regular production watches...
with regards to the L1, here's quick side by side
picture of the two moonphases from my HD. Sorry couldn't find a better picture with better depth of field :P My vote goes to the older L1 Moonphase (the one one the left), strikes me as a little more balance... Cheers -- Seeks ...
Personally, i prefer the Lange 1 MP (38.5 mm).
But despite what others may think, ultimately, you have to pick the one that sings to you most. Ian
