Pulling the trigger the 2nd time for this year...

Guten tag my fellow Lange PuristS!

Trust you all are having a great mid-week.

Today i went to my AD for awhile to just take a look around, and also mainly to scrutinise more on the new 1815 (Platinum version only) whose sample piece was brought in once again for my viewing pleasure today after that event a couple of weeks ago.

So i picked up the masterpiece, looked at it under my loupe for a moment, and strapped the watch on, played and fiddled with it basically, and decide to purchase the piece!

I will be getting no. 77/500 for this, a number that was my 2nd choice following a preferred option for no. 7/500. (So that it would match my RL PLM). But unfortunately due to my own delay in stating a desire for the piece, the 1st option has been allocated, but i still at least get my 2nd choice! ( and a triple seven at that! Not that i'm a gambler nor believer of the "lucky seven", 7 holds a special significance for me in itself)

Therefore, this year I will be getting 2 of the 3 debuts for 2009, and am very delighted in my choice.

 Here are some amateur and unclear shots of this masterpiece which I took at the event a few weeks ago some of you might remember.

I know as well that many people much highly prefers the white gold version due to the presence of the blued steel hands. I do would very much like that on the Pt as well, but for me, over the presence of blued steel hands, would be the case of the watch be crafted in Pt. But one can't always have everything.

In the end, this watch embodies all the criteria that I have for a watch to be already acceptable in my collection, and that is what matters.

Cheers and have a great rest of the week!
