Hi everyone,

I tried it not long ago as I'm very attracted by it, like many on the forum.

I was wearing a 44mm watch for more than 2 months and this 40.5 RL looked perfect though I thought it was a little bit too wide in the past.

Nothing is better than a try in the metal.

Let me post some average pictures to share it with you.

Cheers,

Mark

As it happens, I was in my local AD yesterday getting a strap change on a JLC and spent time with the Lange offerings they have there. I had on the Richard Lange in RG and the 40.5mm feels just about perfect on my wrist. The warmth of the RG mixed with the balance of the sweeping seconds makes this a winner in my eyes. Plus the movement is just gorgeous with the indirect drive attachment for the seconds hand. Also tried on the new WG Lange 1 TZ which was a surprise as it has just landed in stock

With an interesting movement. Yes, to be considered, seriously. Best, Nicolas.

About the RL, what can we say? This line has a big potential being the chronometric collection of Lange. So I still expect some interesting additions. The simple RL is a beauty, I would love to see it in WG with a dark dial. Fx

I'm surprised I may say too that if I had to get a Lange, the RL may be competing with much more complicated ones. The Pt is a great choice too and I frankly don't know which one I would prefer. Thanks for your input and let us know if something happen Colton Cheers, Mark

It's a discreet watch but with quite a uniquness of character, even charming I would say. But yes, this movement is really appealing even if it seems simple at first sight. Another one in the never-ending shopping list.... Cheers, Mark

But it was a quick visit, I'll plan another one soon I think. I hope they receive the new Dato too, as it is something I didn't really explored well yet. And I agree with you, there is plenty of potential in this RL; especially since they added the RL Tourbillon PLM dial coming from the pocket watch. Mark
