A. Lange & Söhne

Looking to add a Lange to my collection at long last and I am wondering what you would choose between these two very different beauties? The contenders: the older Grand Lange 1 (41.9mm) vs the Richard Lange (40.5mm). I specifically picked the older Grand ...  

Lnage 1 already received many attention, it's time too try something new.

Surprised to see that as I thought the Lange 1 is the more popular design!

As you said, it's a unique and iconic design that will likely add more variety to a collection.

I’m not sure you can go wrong with either one ...  

We have similar taste my friend! I actually prefer the look of that Lange 1 Moonphase to the Grand Lange 1 Moonphase. Had it been a couple of mm's bigger, I would definitely add it to the collection. How do you find the legibility?

I tried on the GL1 older version but not this and size is great. The RL is a little to simple for my preference, but just me.

The lange1 is a beautiful piece with a crazy dial

I have it and it is, to me, a stunning piece. The size is great on my 7 1/4 wrist — I think the 38mm would present smallish. The time is very legible and of course the date is! ...  

Though the current model is nice as well, the older Grand Lange is a true masterpiece of wabi-sabi design, coming across as controlled chaos in a very pleasing way. Agree with you about the 38mm - it just looked dainty on my 7.5-inch wrist. I haven't trie... 

I've had a similar dilemma. Can't sport 38.5mm Lange 1's, just too small on my wrist, hence the Grand Lange 1's... Can't go wrong with either though... Good luck and congrats on your new Lange in advance! You will not regret it! ...  

The original Grand Lange is beautiful, but I would prefer the newer iterations due to the non-overlapping sub dials.

Because I consider the older GL to be flawed.. the Lange 1 design isn’t suppose to have any overlapping indications YM
