Hi, jhurst - the L1 and PML may be broadly similar superficially, but . . .
. . . manual winding offers a gestalt that's quite different from automatic operation. Exclusivity is of some value, I suppose, but not one that I'd readily admit to being influenced by. Quality of construction? . . .
. more than sufficient, I'd say. Yellow gold was never an option for the PML, though . . . you'll have to settle for rose ;-). Don't forget about dial options: besides silver, there are both black and grey dial versions, but both have been discontinued for some time. Let us know how the search goes . . . cordially, Art
Preowned GO or Lange
I am looking to buy a preowned Lange 1 or GO panomaticlunar. I want YG either way. I prefer automatic movements and realize the Lange 1 doesn't have that option. I'm trying to learn the pluses/minuses to each. Better build, more exclusive, service dificul...

Thanks Art
I guess exclusivity wasn't the correct term. I want something that unlike my Rolex datejust you won't see everday but that also retains value. Thanks for the update on the PML not being offered in YG as well.
Perhaps the panoreserve might pique your interest?
Also a manual but more like the Lange so I thought i would throw it out there. Realistically you're unlikely to run into any of the watches mentioned on another wrist any time soon, outside of a get-together, perhaps never. I'm not sure if it can be poste...
I believe that's from a magazine review circa 2004, and unfortunately . . .
. . . we really shouldn't post either links to other websites or their articles, Mike. Of course, it's perfectly ok to privately exchange information. Jhurst has a stated preference for automatics, but you're right about the tight match between the two in...
Great
Nice idea in Panoreserve, but I really like the automatics for now. As I'm just getting into "fine" watches, I'm taking baby steps.
Have you had a mechanical previously?
This is just my own opinion but an auto tends to fair better in a daily wearer situation compared to a manual where its automatic function will keep it wound without intervention. If its an intermittent use you can find that a manual can be wound daily on...
New purchase
I found a two year old panomaticlunar in rose gold with papers for what I consider to be great price. Will keep you posted. Anything I should know/look for? What are service interval recs?
Authenticity
The watch I am buying is told t b yellow gold but I didn't think this wa offered in pml?
Actually, I don't think I've ever seen a yellow gold model of any . . .
. . . Glashütte Original. The PML came in a platinum limited edition version, and in three rose gold versions, but that's it . . . tread cautiously here. Concerned, Art
Thanks Art. I trying to...
Thanks Art. I trying to make certain this is authentic. Jwh Sent from my iPhone
My own experience, and that of a few others, leads me to believe . . .
. . . that G O will not change a dial type once a watch has left the manufactory . . . in other words, if you purchase a silver dialed PML, they won't switch it for a grey dial. It's not an issue for some manufacturers, but it seems to be for G O . . . re...
