Tough choice, indeed, and I started my Lange journey with the same consideration.

Platinum’s durability won me over and it took a 4 watch transaction to get me there.

 

Man o man... I just acquired a Patek and love it. Yet, the refinement of the movement finishing on Lange is spot on!

 

Love the am/pm blue disk

 

+1 for AM/PM disc

 

Where would people recommend buying a used Lange 1 or zeitwerk?

 

European Watch Co in Boston usually has a steady flow of ALS and are great to work with.

 

got my zeitwerk from ewc

 

Finally pulled the trigger for an 1815 before the price adjustment. Intend to add a L1 to the collection once I offload some of my unloved pieces in the collection.

 

Congrats! I suggest sooner than later for a L1 if your collection can accommodate. Not long ago you could find them below $20k, some as low as $17k if the seller was motivated, but low $20’s seems like the floor at the moment // still pretty amazing that the Lange 1 can be had at that price given what vintage sport watches regularly trade for.

 

Definitely! Missed the boat for the sub 20k pieces (had the opportunity but I regrettably went for GO+Moser+RD+GP )

 

Decided to get the L1 as well

 

Decided to get the 1815 chrono as well
Got it yesterday

 

I wonder if ALS will become Patek level. They certainly seem to have the chops for it. Now just need incredible brand marketing.

 

Who cares about the time, for that I have my cell

 

For many of us it's already above

 

Late 30’s pocket watch.

Here's one of my "top 5" watches from my collection - the Saxonia Thin 37 mm. It's so understated and elegant, and can be worn anywhere/any time. Yet it's one of the best watches out there. I love it so much!

 

It's a nice piece
