A. Lange & Söhne

Greetings to all! Let's say that you're sitting there, as one does, with a sizable wad of cash in your pocket (here is where I depart from your participation in the narrative) and a healthy supply of good taste (which I am sure that you have in abundance!...  

To have not one but two sitting side by side. So Gary, the question is "Are you tempted" :) And if so, which metal?

Thanks a lot for these superb pics! I am very happy to see these two versions on same pics, I tend to prefer the warmer side of the YG version. Thanks! Fx

I have a very poor snapshot of this one with a black dial which was made available at another auction. Nice pics. of two of the most desirable Lange pieces Gary. :) cheers fernando ...  

Normally when it comes to the 1815 the arabic numerals and the train track dial is a must, BUT it looks quite full on the dial. Same with the Emil moonphase: a bit too much on it. This RG PLM looks truely timeless with the original Saxonia indices. Best M... 

Especially the last two pictures are outstanding. Thanks! Gary, for now you covered two versions of the (rare) Toubillon PLM. Which one is next? RG, WG, PT with bracelet, Steel ... :-) Oliver

And many thanks Gary for these beautiful shots of a rare to catch in the wild beauty! In appreciation especially of the Pt version! Tschuss Stephen

I am sure you know this one too and for all who missed that post from SJX: type 36 mm PLM in Forum search and click images. That is the most desirable one, imho. On a side note: I also would be "much" happier with a Handwerkskunst :-). Many thanks for the... 

... is that a recently polished YG watch looks VASTLY different from one that has been allowed to develop a patina over the years. A few weeks ago, I saw two YG Lange deployant buckles sitting side by side. One had been recently polished, while the other ... 

The patina on this particular YG piece is fantastic -- the owner is thinking of having it serviced, but perhaps leaving the case alone. Personally I love the look of this more "aged" YG. Hard to argue with Herr Lange's selection, isn't it! Thanks for your... 

... to indicate in MANY places that he doesn't want anyone to touch/polish the case! I'd even put (removable) tape on the dial and/or caseback saying "DO NOT POLISH CASE" when sending it in. Trust me, writing "please do not polish the case" somewhere on a... 

This is a good idea, to compare before I put that "WTB" ad. But... What happens when you like both? Thanks for the photos.

I always thought the YG would be the one but with those pictures I lean towards to PT too. Slim chance either way for me! Best Andreas

Greetings once again! The owner of the YG PLM asked whether I might give equal time by posting a few more images of that piece, and I am of course happy to do so... First, a shot in which I purposely used a small flashlight to create a bit of glare on the...  

...that both of these are treated with AR. I can't say with certainty, but my experience of Lange watches is that they do have AR (often on both the interior and exterior of the crystal, if I understand correctly) and it does help when doing photography! ... 

One of the best parts of photographing your friends' watches is that if you have very, very good friends (which I do!) they will allow you to put on the watches -- or more often, encourage you to wear them for a while! I'm not that comfortable strolling a...  

a simple P&S can produce remarkably good photos with good lighting. That last photo takes the cake! Thanks for sharing these Gary. Cheers Fernando

It's always a pleasure to the eyes to see your photographs And the fact that it is TWO Tourbillon PLM, it's a feast to the eye Very beautiful piece... IMHO the most important Lange piece And well done on the photo execution Thank you for sharing Gary Best... 

Thank you for creating these work of art for all of us to share the joy. My dream is the PT . Now that dream is more and more becoming .........only a DREAM.......huhuhuhuh ;-( So sad it is getting out of my reach but happy at the same time for LANGE. Thi... 

That I can only satisfy due to the generosity of my collector friends in lending me these splendid pieces! I'm very pleased that you liked the photos -- thanks for your kind comments. Best, Gary G
