Incoming: Lange 1 in rose gold
Like Fx, I must admit being a moderator is risky! I have been looking at the Lange 1 photo contest's photos to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Lange 1.... And as you guessed it, got poisoned by the watch!!
I evaluated various editions and I prefer a warmer Lange 1 so the rose gold in 38.5mm is perfect for me. the Lange 1 moonphase in RG was also a strong contender but somehow I prefer it not to have lumed hands... The new grand lange 1 moonphase is also nice but a tad too big for my small wrist.
So here we are: some wrist shots of my new Lange 1 in RG. A design consistent since 1994, a great way to celebrate the 20th anniversary of the Lange 1 (by getting one haha). I got it last week from the Singapore Lange boutique for this piece - their service standards are exemplary!
Some wrist shots and photos for now. 
A mini celebration at the boutique for this purchase
Cheers
Robin

Congratulations and wear it in best of health
And i agree that service at the Lange Singapore boutique is par excellence! Terrence , Aun to name few are great hosts. Enjoy la! Ovi
Thanks Ovi! Agree on the staff of the Lange Singapore boutique
I am very happy that I could support them for their years of friendship and good service given to us. I am so happy with my RG lange 1 now! :) Cheers Robin
Congrats robin..
On getting another lange icon.. You guys are really making me jealous with all your new finds!! yming
The thing i love about this model is...
The big date window in pg is really beautiful.. Happy celebrating
Not bad for an iPhone macro shot!
Yes I love the big date feature especially on the Lange 1 Will try to share some macro shots soon. Thanks for sharing this yming! Cheers Robin
thank you Yming :)
Ah hope we can meet up one day. Along with our small group of collectors who regularly meet up, we have quite a few Langes amongst us! We just did a gtg and I will share some pics soon. Join us next time! :) Cheers Robin
Congratulations Robin, this model
fits perfectly on your wrist. Great addition in your nice collection. Wear it in good health and enjoy the 20th Lange 1 Anniversary ;-)) Cheers, Patrickh
Thank you Patrick. Agree that the size is perfect for me :)
And my wife can wear this RG Lange 1 too :) I just have to be careful she doesn't like it too much that it become hers! Probably not going to share with her in case that happens haha Cheers Robin
Robin, I am not sure about ...
the combination of gummy bears and champagne. BUT I love your latest purchase :-) Congrats, it is an awesome piece - even after all those years available! Best, Oliver
Gummy bears from Germany!
That's why we had it there Oliver! :) But agree they don't go very well with champagne indeed - too much sweets :) Agree on the Lange 1 esp in RG. It's not discontinued, it's not rare, it's not LE. I am sure pieces like the platinum Darth Lange 1 is much ...
"Lange's rose gold" is special, for sure.
The only thing that kept me away so far, is the fact that the side of the cases from Lange are always shiny instead of matt finished like in white metal. It is just not me :-(
Good point Oliver
I also noticed that. The WG and Platinum and Honey Gold all have brushed finished sides on the case. Can't remember YG but RG is all mirror polish. I am not sure if the reason is to prevent oxidation of the RG or something - someone mentioned to me mirror...
Thanks Dylan61!
I really love this watch. Thanks to you too for showing me your beautiful Lange 1 MP in RG. That watch also left an impact on me! :) Cheers Robin
Oh yes....well done Robin...so well done...
Huge congrats....seriously,the Lange 1 doesn t show any sign of ageing.... Great combination you choose,warm,elegant,classic.... Hurray and welcome into the club... Mo
Thanks Ken!!!
Agree Lange 1 is so iconic for Lange! As a Lange fan I must admit I did feel I must get a Lange 1 someday! :) See you soon my friend :) Cheers Robin
You are on a roll, my friend, and a pretty delicious one.
Huge congratulations, for both your taste and the Watch. An icon fro the German brand. Well done. Nicolas
Thank you Nico!
Indeed I feel such simpler watches do make me happier than complicated pieces. The Lange 1 is one such example. Cheers Robin
LOL Fx!
And soon I will be bankrupt! No more watches now. Have to save up :) Cheers robin
Robin, congrats. This is one of my favourite watches.
I have always loved the original Lange 1 in RG followed by YG. I never cared much for the other versions of this iconic timepiece. I always believe that the first and most simple versions of a timepiece are usually the best. Wear it in the best of health....
Will post more pics soon Kunal!
Thanks for your well wishes and see you soon ! :) cheers robin
You are on fire!
And you love RG Bravo Gummy bears, bubbly and Lange 1 Well done Yours D
Thanks Damjan! The gummy bears were a surprise!
From the boutique staff. I thought it was cute to have the Lange 1 sit on the bears haha :) Thanks for your kind words my friend Cheers robin
Another one! :)
Congratulation, Robin! :) Both you and Fx - was there a sale I missed....?! ;) Stunning watch, wear it in best of health. Best Blomman
Hahaha! A sale you missed!
To be honest, it's better to miss such "sales" if they ever exist! Let's save up for our kids my friend :) This is going to be my last watch for a long time to come. Cheers robin
"Will be my last one for a very long time!"
You will eat your words sooner than you think Robin! :) I think the L1 is the watch that put ALS back on centre stage back in 1994. It was a bit revolutionary at the time but with all good designs it has withstood the test of time. A huge congrats for mak...
I am also afraid... that I will eat my words...
once again! no one believes me anymore when I say this LOL! Thank you Fernando for your kind words cheers robin
How does this compares with your PP5146 ?
Hi Robin, I have read many of your postings on the JLC forum and aware of your impressive collection. The JLC MUT Perpetual is impressive and this Lange 1 is just spectacular ! Wonder in your opinion, which would make a better daily office wear, the Lange...
Interesting question Alex
Thank you for your kind words on my collection. For the Lange 1, a more comparable version to the pp 5146 will be the Lange 1 moonphase I feel. Anyway I think the Lange 1 is a more suitable daily office watch being a simpler watch IMHO. Also I much prefer...
Great comparison pictures ....thanks a lot
Indeed I am considering the Lange 1 MP which is priced within the range of a PP5146. The photo of your Lange 1 placed side by side with the PP5146 does highlight the simplicity and beauty of the Lange 1 dial. Not that the PP is inferior in any way, it's c...
Either one is a good choice
Let us know what you go for eventually! Both the Lange 1 mp and PP 5146 are great pieces. I think the 5146 is priced slightly higher though being an annual calendar. Cheers Robin
Thank you. Indeed Lange's RG
is very very nice! I hope to do a review on various brand's RG soon Cheers robin
Superb watch!
The Lange 1 is such a beautiful and classic time piece. A great addition to your superb collection! Best, Gerard
Thank you again Gerard!
Agree the Lange 1 is very classic indeed I regretted not getting it earlier! Cheers Robin
Bling bling...
Congrats my friend. Great piece to add to your "glowing" collection. Regards, Ian
Congratulations Robin!
Lange 1 is a classic. If you want to stop buying watches for a while you better move to another place (deserted island?). Too many temptations in Singapore! Regards, Constantin
Agree Constantin!
And thank you for your well wishes. Indeed, I have to move to a safer place. My home country is very tempting indeed! cheers robin
Another very well done here!
I would have loved to get a L1 also before there are no left but my budget ... . Anyhow: yes the L1 mp is also gorgeous and "funny" to see that you considered it also. To me the L1 mp looks complete, but the L1 is certainly without the mp THE L1. Enjoy in...
Thanks Moritz!
I am sure there will always be Lange 1s around - let us know when you get one next time and we will celebrate with you! :) Cheers Robin
Looks Great Robin!
I recently tried on a few Langes and think that experience is going to cost me some money soon :). Enjoy it in good health!
We all have to protect our bank accounts... :P
from all these beautiful watches! :) Enjoy and hope you get something you like too :) Cheers robin
