Thank you for this wonderful personal story!
This is the Lange which fascinates me the most. A milestone in watch making. And for sure an unique piece!
Even if the costs may „hurt“ you, I find - in these days - this is an occasion where you really get something for your money.
It should arrive next week - correct?
Please keep us posted.
All the best

First Lange -- (pre)-incoming!
Hi guys, Finally pulled the trigger on my first Lange, after humming and hawing for some 7 years! It is not with me yet, but will be arriving within a week or so. 1. A Brief History: First time I saw it was back in 2014 on the Lange YouTube channel. At th...
Thank you! 😊
During my research I dug up your original thread from 2009 and read it with great interest: www.watchprosite.com / It's quite entertaining to read some of the "predictions" made on that thread and compare them to the current situation!
This is the best watch ever made IMHO
There is a reason nobody else has been able to make something “truly” comparable after 11 years. It’s also a bargain for such a complex and unique piece. Huge congrats!
Fully agree ...
Not only they perfected the digit jump which used to be the main challenge, they introduced so many complications (date, striker, MR etc.) with it that they are the undisputed king in this category! And no other brand is even trying to compete in this cat...
How exciting and it's the first time I see this animation in a post on this website, very nice!
May I ask how did you post this photo? Big congratulations...it also took me many, many years to "jump" on a ZW.
Thank you!
I uploaded the gif to a photo hosting site (imgur in my case), and copy-pasted the html code in the message body. Standard photo upload won't work.
Amazing watch, and an amazing journey.
Always love hearing the story behind an acquisition, thank you for sharing. You must be anxiously awaiting its arrival. Do post lots of wrist shots when it finally arrives!
Great story, thank you for sharing.
I have been similarly obsessed, and I imagine many others here have been too. So I think we all understand your words at a deeper level. Congrats on the making a grail come true. Please share photos when your beauty arrives.
Thanks!!! 🙏
What is so appealing to me is that on the dial side it doesn’t look like a complicated watch, but on the back it is a different story! Great pic of the movement!! 👍
huge congratulations...happy your dream came true !
wear in the best health & share pics once you've it on your wrist. congratulations again, it is a very original timepiece with a beast as movement. Best, mahesh.,
Congrats!! Looking forward to your getting it soon!
I wonder what else they're going to update about this model. I assume the watch you receive will have the newer movement in it.
Thanks!🙏
Yes, it'll have the movement without the preload (attached a not-so-clear pic below). I'm curious too about the regular production Gen 2 ZW. I read in an article that even though ZWHGL has the same case dimensions (41.9 mm dia, 12.6 mm thick), there are s...
Thank you!
Glad to hear that it continues to keep your attention even after the initial period. A timeless classic in the truest sense!!! Enjoy! 👍👍👍

Thanks! 🙏
It was supposed to come yesterday, but there was a bit of delay at the border, so will take delivery next Friday. Fingers crossed! 🤞
I cross my fingers
for you, too. But it’s still a few days until Christmas. And the worst case would be a delivery before New Year’s Eve which is also not too bad. 😊
Your well wishes are very powerful ... 😁
The watch cleared customs yesterday and is in Canada now and is scheduled to arrive on the Christmas eve!!!! 😊
Thanks darrony, and everyone on this thread ...
Just to conclude, the package arrived yesterday, and I opened it today. I'm attaching a quick-and-dirty wrist shot for now, will post more later. I have a feeling that my other watches are not going to get worn for a very, very long time ... 😬😬 The dial h...
That's exactly what's happening!!!
I just want to lie down on a sofa and just stare at it! It's quite surprising, given that the dial is so simple!! There is something very "magnetic" about it!!
And it's finally on your wrist!
I have a feeling this one will take up a lot of your wrist time.... Happy holidays!!
