Sounds like a solution looking for a problem...
at the cost of being an oversized watch. I agree that this would be better suited in the Panerai fold of models. Its a pity that Lange has moved away from its historical roots of understated germanic designs and function.

I think it would be better with the power reserve indicator on the back. I'm also of the opinion that it's a little on the large side as well. I personally like large watches but I find that the RL, while smaller than some of my other watches, wears quite...
What exactly is the advantage
of winding only once a month for such an uncomplicated watch, and the advantage using a special instrument? Is the power reserve indicator as important as indicated by his bigness in comparison with the s-hand? Or could you work with a date instead of tha...

Tendonitis
I enjoy winding a watch every day or every few days but can't imagine how much winding would be necessary to fully power this watch. I suspect it would be tiring and perhaps result in tendonitis.
