A. Lange & Söhne: I never get watches serviced unless some aspect of performance really bothers me.

I'll be without the watch for 3-6 months, there's a risk of theft in transit, the watch might come back with something else wrong with it -- all things that have happened to many of us -- so why bother? That's just my own take, of course.

A. Lange & Söhne: I got clarification about this

The patina cannot be preserved during servicing because the chemistry of the cleaning solution (ammonia) removes it.

A. Lange & Söhne: Got to try it the other day.

It's a nice piece, legible, with the white-on-black date discs and leap year indicator (red-on-black for the "4"/leap year) making this a harmonious dial. I am still not in love with the day/night display on the moonphase disc. I like to see the stars all the time like we saw on the older moonphase

A. Lange & Söhne: "Quirky" was my thought too, Jay, about the aesthetics.

Setting aside the aesthetics, I do appreciate the context of this watch: One of the few Langes with a bespoke movement made in a small batch for a specific dealer.

A. Lange & Söhne: Why am I not bothered at all by this?b

Great photo showing off this iconic design. Asymmetry is difficult to execute well. Lange sure did it with this One!

A. Lange & Söhne: Wonderful that you woke it up!

The Zeitwerk was a great move on Lange's part.
