. . . do so at your convenience. Gratefully, Art
. . . as rose and black does it for me. But with the Sidestep, it's the preference for a balance between matte and polished surfaces that tips my favor towards platinum. Art
Limited to 125 pieces (50 platinum), with fully hand engraved 3/4 plate. These types of quirky limited editions from 20 years ago are my favourite Lange watches.
Hi Art, The Sidestep was a contemporary of the Emil Lange 1815 Moonphase. Both were made at about the same time (Sidestep slightly later), both in PT and RG, both limited, both the exact same size and with the same base movement. I don't own one but have spent time with them. I do own a PT 1815 Moonphase. For many people, the Sidestep would be too small. But for someone who appreciates, say, vintage Omega pieces, it'd be just fine. The movement engraving on the Sidestep is spectacular. Very beau
. . . for the last soldato of my collection. Definitely not this year and probably not next, as time is required to accumulate funds. But a platinum Sidestep would be at the top of the list. Turo
I can only help with a picture in b&w. 1815 sidestep along with it's siblings.
