A. Lange & Söhne

truly it is

 


BUT - I prefer first thoughts to after-thoughts - the ones that run their course through all these refining filters - symphonically thinking about Schumann and Bruckner all the way to Karajan. Except for the latter, they had all their well-meaning and misguided "friends", including a wife or two. Make it socially acceptable, digestible, institutional and seductively irrestable, smooth out the ideas, the rough spots, and pour on the Sauce!

Make it streamlined and slick.

The original versions !!!

Please.

Amerix is notorious about going wildly off topic and competely out-of-range. Deranged.

Some of us here would far prefer the "originals" or at least to have a choice - a point of discussion - something we do from time to time - maybe all the time - maybe all that we do here at alll!

So be it.

But I like this Lang as it is, now, or was, and congratulate the owner of having what is rightly his and - in a certain sense Unique!

Grunts and Groans and - Gratz!

Amery

Datograph perpetual change of dial

Posted a while back that I was daft enough to drop my ALS DP onto a marble floor from wrist height, suffice to say quite upset obviously with myself. Watch wouldnt wind so back to Lange it went. Have to say first rate people to deal with...my watch needed...  

Looking sharp with the new dial....

I absolutely adore the new dial! Very sharp & most definitely a pleaser to the eyes. Enjoy.

There's certainly a difference...

...unless there's some trick of the light! On the ALS website, the gallery for the Dato Perp (image 2) show that the subdials have little contrast from the main rhodie dial (PT) - whereas for the WG / grey dial (image 1) the contrast is very obvious! It s... 

Awesome Watch...

The new dial is definitely more legible, however having said that I do like the original better.

truly it is

It is very difficult to say if there is a slight change of the dial shine...

Anyway, I'm glad to see that you got back your beautiful Dato Perpetual in a perfect shape ! Ready for long moments of pleasure ! Fr.Xavier PS: I got it: I was more focussed on the main dial than on the subdials... I must confess I prefer the old version.... 

Well ..this is...

hard one...situation is delicate I think.. because I don't like to impose my visions and views to others so if you are satisfied with it I think that is what's important so I'll hold my pie hole shut about this new subdials... Best Damjan

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 mor...  

No offesense, mate! What counts is that you like it ...

and if this is the new dial on a P DP than it is all fine that they fitted it into yours. Nobody here will doubt the originality of the dial and the quality of the job done. What I ment is my personal opinion about the repair, the way things went. Same do... 

Thanks

 
By: chris4 : February 16th, 2011-00:36
For all the feedback, I understand the concerns about 'non' original, but not an issue for me, but as I say I understand and agree maybe Lange should have got in touch pre dial repair if indeed it is a differant style. If however all DP's will have this d... 

I personally

LOVE the new dial! I've always preferred the WG model due to the contrast....and now this.....I guess I'm back to liking the PT version more!!!! Thanks for sharing!!!!

Chris,I remember reading your O/P...........
