A different type of A. Lange
Hello Lange fans. Went to Alkis today to show him a new to me piece.
It's an all original A. Lange type A B Uhr pilots watch.
It comes with all papers from the German govt as well as a certificate from glashutte. I have been searching for one for quite some time.
The only "issue" is the coating has come off or been removed from the case. These old watches are incredibly hard to find with the full coating intact.
Another item would be the strap. We couldn't figure out if it's original or not. It appears to be but it's in such good condition it's hard to say.
Coincidently there was a type b there going out to Dresden. Really amazing to have both there next to each other.

Thanks
Yes would be interesting if they ever did something. I guess we will wait and see.

Yes it's one of my favorite watches. It has history. When I visited Dresden I didn't have a Lange. But I landed back in NY I bought this one with the help of Gaetan. We sourced the 2nd to last one in the country. From records about 86 were made so it's qu...
I had one of these...
Until it turned out that it wasn't a Lange. An incredible watch and I still haven't been able to find a replacement one yet. If you send it back to Glashutte, the Lange restoration department will restore the watch as thoroughly as you'd like it. The last...
Never servcied
This example has never been serviced but a few years ago it was sent back to Lange and received an inspection. A certificate was issued and I have all the paperwork from the German government as well in 1941 when it was made and 1942 when it was sold/comm...
Beautiful piece of history!
im a huge fan of these German WWII navigator watches. In fact I recently bought a newer version of the Laco type B dial By the way, what was the material used on these Lange? Grey painted brass cases or steel? Because according to what I’ve read somewhere...
