A. Lange & Söhne

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 dificulites including cost, etc. I also really like the deployment clasp on the GO! I am currently a Rolex owner and will be using this watch for a daily wearer rotated with my other two pieces. Any help is appreciated.

and it will be launched officially at SIHH 2009 in January.

That looks great but as I am looking to buy preowned, a bit expensive. Thanks.

And, I would sell the rolex quickly adding it towards the new Lange 1.  Manual wound watches are wonderful, and provide a minute per day to enjoy time with you watch!. Service intervals are also longer.

I can tell you I’m a die hard fan of both watches, but if I was choosing the Lange 1 would be it. Regarding the “more exclusive” criteria I also think the Lange 1 wins. As you know it is a hand wound watch, but I sincerely think you’d get used to it and have lots of pleasure “giving life” to that beauty each three days

 At first I thought it would be a pain winding the watch all the time but its not such a big deal winding the Lange once every 3 days or so.

Hi,

I have a Glashütte Original Panomatic Lunar in Stainless Steel.  It's an excellent watch that makes me smile when I wear it and look at the unique dial and finish.  I also have an A. Lange & Söhne Richard Lange in Rose Gold.  I really enjoy both of these watches, but the Richard Lange gets the most wrist time and brings me the most pleasure.  The movement finishing is also superior on the Lange.  If you can afford the Lange, it would be my choice.  Just my 2 cents.

Regards

 

I would go with the Lange 1 and get the Lange deployant.  I had a GO Panograph -- great watch and nice deployant.  However, I have 2 Langes -- the Lange deployant is much nicer than the GO and the finish on the Langes is better than on the GO.  Both brands are great, though.  Good luck
