Thanks Chaps...

I Do much prefer the slightly shinier & darker subdials. You really have to see it in the flesh as they change colour/shade as the watch moves. I must admit I do find the dial slightly 'stark' at times, and I think this slight revision has added a bit more 'pizzazz' to the look and I am extremely happy with it, strangely the whole dial seems more 'twinkly' the hour markers etc really catch the light. Quite surprised that the Lange website shows the 'old' style dial on the DP, you would think that would be changed straight away to reflect any small changes, or maybe I have just got an 'oddball' one off!!

Nope they did not get in touch to notify me of any changes whilst the repair was been carried out, and I dont quite know what the odd 'not original' comments are about, as this watch was repaired by lange with full invoice for service & gasket replacement etc I think it is well & truly original, the fact the dial is slightly differant is hardly making it 'non original'..besides which this is a keepeer for me so I am not bothered about vlaue etc following the repair. It will be interesting to see which dials any new DP's that come up are sporting.

Funnily enough I was down at the QP salon show when my watch was away for repair & I had already had the quote stating it needed a new dial, so I asked if it was possible to put the grey dial on my watch, and they said no, a plat perpetual had to have the silver dial and they would not fit a grey one as that would make it a one off!...anyway fine I was undecided on which one I preferred anyway, and oddly I have now been very fortunate as I much prefer this dial mine has come back with, so all is well that ends well.

Must admit I find the deployment clasp does make the watch sit a lot better on my wrist, no longer does its heft pull it to oneside, so that is another good result

Only bad thing now is that it is so perfect I cannot bring myself to wear it just now, it seems such a shame when its so perfect & new to let it pick upr scratches again around the bezel!!

Took a pic in houselight last night which shows a bit better how the subdials change colour & contrast nicely
