Lange 1 “Soirée” - a Sincere MOP edition
Abe’s recent posts on Lange 1 with Guilloche dials reminded me that I have not worn mine for awhile. I need to visit the bank soon. in the meantime, here are some WS and still photos from my phone.
So much wonderful details on the dial, one can lose a few seconds or minutes staring at it.
Best regards.

Agreed, my friend!
Although a bit more challenging, the dial is wonderful to photograph 
Many thanks!

Fascinating, indeed. Lucky you, my friend. Please take it off the safe and feed us with some fresh pictures. [nt]

Lovely dial!! What's the reference number for that Sincere edition? I'm curious if it's an LE, and how it differs from a 110.031. [nt]

Hello CR, many thanks!
Very fun watch to photograph though a bit challenging!
The watch is in the safe now and let me check next time.
From memory, mine is definitely not the LE and it's not numbered. So it is likely that mine is just a Soiree and may not be from the Sincere retailer.
I seem to remember ... you own the WG version of this too, right?
Best regards to you and all at home!

Thanks very much and I hope all is well! I appreciate the clarification that it's not a numbered LE.
Yes, I have the WG version, 110.030. It was my first Lange. That reference was initially offered exclusively by Sincere for about a year and was then offered more widely through other Lange ADs. These guilloche versions were not initially called "Soiree." "Soiree" was used only to describe the 110.029, which was the non-guilloche version that appeared only briefly, c.2001-02. Then everyone (including Lange, I believe) started calling the guilloche version "Soiree" too, when the non-guilloche version was discontinued. They are beautiful watches for sure!
My pleasure, dear CR
Interesting to read that Lange adopted the nickname Soiree in the later years and I am glad they did, even though it might lead to a little confusion.
Also, a very nice shot of your White Gold.
Best.

That is spectacular!
I tried to fine this on a few other sites. Correct me if I am wrong. Is it a 37mm case? Most of the places call it a ladies watch. If so what would you call the Rolex Day Date 36?
38.5mm case -- standard Lange 1 size. But Lange made...
... other guilloche dial Lange 1 models in the smaller 36mm size. If you see a protruding rectangular date corrector pusher at 10 o'clock, then it's 38.5mm. If the pusher is not visible from the top of the watch (because it's recessed), then it's the smaller 36mm case.
Kaufmann!...
So this was wayyy back 20 years ago. This was my first Lange. I got it from a European grey dealer (at a time when there were only 2 US ADs), and I said I needed a custom-length short strap with it. Kaufmann had been Lange's official strap supplier just before that time, and the dealer ordered the strap from Kaufmann and also had them stamp the lining with the Lange stamp. I was thrilled when I got it. This has always been one of my favorite straps.
amazing watch
Hi CR,
i am confused between this watch and the stealth. Could you please tell your thoughts and also how much should I pay for this ( a second-hand dealer is asking me $23k)
