A. Lange & Söhne

I saw someone complaining about the RL..

 

on another site. They were upset the accuracy wasn't great and was later singing the praises of an Omega subsequently purchased.

I timed mine against the www.time.gov reference and found it was within 1 sec after 3 days. Not bad!

In reality, I don't really care about that level of accuracy. It's great to have but not really of any practical importance for me. Same with automatic movements since I rarely wear a watch for more than 1 day in 10.

 

Thank you for all your generous words and wishes.

The RL is rose gold is one of the finest offerings from ALS IMO. The rose case and white, black and red on the dial AND blue on the second hand lightens up a watch that might otherwise leave a heavy impression. It's a great combination. Enjoy it! Best, Je...
