The New vs the Old Lange 1 Blue Dial
Jun 24, 2019,18:39 PM
I haven't seen Lange 1 Blue Dial posts lately and thought it deserves some discussion.
So here are two variants of Lange 1 blue dial:
1) New 191.028 Lange 1 variant which was introduced in 2017. Although not a novelty, these models are hard to come by. I was lucky enough to try them on at Lange Boutique in New York Madison Ave. and boy, they are gorgeous. But there was "too much" lightness to the color of blue.. then I found out this "old" Lange 1 blue dial.

2) the almighty 101.028 Lange 1 Blue dial which was produced in early 2000's for some time(I am not sure of the duration). This watch, to me, had darker, richer blue then the newer version, perhaps the aging process? Anyhow, after seeing this, I had to go for the old stock as it sang to me. Its currently getting overhauled and I greatly miss this buddy...

Some more photos here. As you can see, the blue changes its colors with the light to dark blue, almost blackish --> light blue. But in general, I think the old dial has somewhat more depth then the new released 191.028.
What do you guys say?
