first example I have seen with this movement.....
Hello everyone....
Ok now this is my last purchase for 2009, ( 4 watches later).
I have been looking for an example of this watch for years... the few examples I have came across had movements that were signed "adjust to two positions and temp" and had the standard stick regulator. But this latest example has a true chronometre grade 218-9 microrotor with the movement signed adj 5 post and temp and has the index regulator. The dial is original, the case and 14k gold bezel has minimal wear. the crown is a mystery as it is unsigned . I do not know if the oriinal crown was suppose to be steel or gold ... As you can see in the photos i still need to clean the back of the lugs...
Well here it is.... been wearing it this am.
Good Hunting

It's Friday Morning here
White the "new" color as in car, while fashion is purple HANWE...
My first car … revisited
My first car was a Cooper S. Long gone, fondly remembered and sadly missed. Had a go in this modern version. Still noisy and fun … and with brakes that actually stop you! Andrew...
Breguet "Black Sheep"...
I know some here have negative reactions to the idea of this version of the Tradition, (and I had some doubts as well) but after seeing it in person, I decided it was the right watch for me and could not resist. ;-) The color combination is just perfect f...
I still have to see it in the flesh, Chazlin
But I have a favorable " à priori " on this latest version... Congrats! Best, Nicolas
A steady hand ...
Thanks for sharing this one, Chazlin. You have captured it very nicely, particularly the finish on the plates and bridges. The black and silver tones give it a more industrial look, and it's clearly a little more understated than the YG versions. I haven'...
Nice
and good to know you like sector dial as this dial been dislike by many here mine (the picture don't do justice of the silver dial)...
Sector dial rocks Quan!
Love your 5396!....Wish mine had a 24 h indicator too. HAGWE! -- Richard.
Congrats and ...
it looks good on your wrist (not on mine - tried it) and the blue on the dial fits the blue of your shirt Sometimes, but only sometimes dreams have to become true ;-) Oliver
How to dress: First the watch, then the shirt!
Vielen Dank Oliver! ...Of course, it should have an outsized date and the c. 240, then perfection! HAGWE! -- Richard.
You can't imagine how happy I am, Fernando.
Very excited to have finally found one long awaited watch! Bedt, and thanks for your nice words. Nicolas
Miss Moneypenny was ...
not really interested in watches, was she? No matter, she would be impressed anyway Oliver
She was interested in watches for sure Oliver, like every woman! How else...
would they keep control of their husbands going out with friends?
Interesting, when I look on a watch ...
in most of the cases I don´t know the time afterwards Something wrong with me, or just one more difference between boys and girls
Nothing wrong with you Oliver!! :-) Especially now in the winter season, I sometimes...
confuse daytime with nighttime by going out for a few beers! A 24 hour dial on my watch would be the perfect solution for me and my girlfriend to prevent misunderstanding ;-)
Here you go Claude
My concept design for Lange's next watch. I would of course manufacture it as a wrist watch in Platinum, WG, and SS. Then remove the sub-seconds and add a rich blued S.C. seconds hand. I mean for the date to be outsized. HAGWE! -- Richard....
Thank you Richard, very nice concept!
You could add an alarm and an Chronograph for the men's version and an egg timer for the women's What do you think? best regards Claude
I'm already ( happily ) married, Claude. :)
But the good news for you is that as I found this one, it let you a free way to get what you were running after... Best, my friend Nicolas
Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god!!!!!!!
Does that mean that I can start selling my car, my furnishings and my clothes?? Please my friend, keep me informed!! best regards claude
"The Man With The Golden Watch"...
But the NATO is not correct Nicolas: too wide - A sensational find - congratulations! Cheers, pplater. [photo credits embedded in picture URL's]...
What is fascinating on your picture, pplater
Is that if you compare the aptina on the hands and on the indexes of J. Bond's 6538 with my 5508, you will notice that the color is exactly the same! That's why I couldn't resist to it... Best, Nicolas
Well, he didn't only wear a Tuxedo with his 6538
But also a grey suit, white shirt and black tie... Best, Nicolas
Wow, Mr Bond! :))))
I love this watch!. A hit in a superb condition. You´re the best. You know, this one must be seen in the flesh See you soon. You have mail. Best hermano Bond. Emilio

I'm preparing something, my friend...
It just require a bit of time ... Best, Nicolas
Uploaded in my mailbox, for the moment.. :)))
Will try to make it for the very next days, but still have to take some 2 or 3 more pics, and to buy bottles of Martini and Vodka... Best, Nicolas
LOL, Hans, If I knew you were so impatient, I would have
Hurried a bit more!! Best, my friend. Nicolas
I'm always pleased to see such a beautiful JLC, Patrice.

the RG Panoreserve XL. hard decision between the WG and RG, needed something dressier.. a robust case and a beatiful movement.....

the fall of the Berlin wall with an Glashütte Navimatic diving watch from 1974 used by the east-german NVA (Nationale Volksarmee). A.Lange und Söhne changed after the end of WW2, first to UROFA (Uhrenrohfabrikation Glashütte) and then in the 50's to GUB (...

Second attempt
As I´m at work today, this is my "daily beater" (with the NATO strap that is so controversially discussed !): Later in the day her older "sister" will be done justice: Lovely watches throughout the decades in my opinion! Have a good weekend everybody...

but I am still enjoying wearing this one. Blue skies! stitch...
thank you...
But it does wear smaller that it is (40mm) Have a great weekend... Cheers ps it started snowing here in the spirit of Christmas coming
A b so l u t e l y b e a u t i f u l !
In any color, but I love the white version, without the platinum indication on the dial. Very classy watch. GEO
