A. Lange & Söhne

Debating whether to have it polished by them. They said it’s a laser treatment that doesn’t remove material? Never heard of that Regardless - Has anyone had theirs polished during service? I’m pretty particular about the little details. So on the one hand... 

unless your scratches are very deep. They just remove a slight layer. The laser welding is for the deep gashes. If they don't weld additional material into the gaps and then polish down , you would indeed be losing a lot of material as they try to even ou... 

Made it look absolutely new. And, in the end, who cares if you lose 1 gram of material once every 10 years or so? Its value and beauty are not in the case weight, I am sure you know...

It wasn't that I was asked if I "wanted to" polish but whether I "didn't want to" polish. Polishing is part of every overhaul at Lange I believe. They come as new and angles are still as good as when I picked it up!

And each time I got the watch back in new condition, amazing how they keep the watch in such perfect condition. One even had a good dent and by using laser welding it was completely gone restoring the watch to new preserving sharp edges and lines.

They are one of the best! As a colleauge already said before: they use the laser technology only if there is a bigger cut or dent on the case! Yours, Adam

Had bought a scratched up 20 year old Lange 1; came back looking brand new with shiny case and sharp angles. Perfect job done by ALS. Polishing is however an extra cost of approximately $800

and your Lange is not more complicated than a Datograph, you can bring in to Alkis. He is Lange's official service watchmaker. You will be amazed by what he can do or suggest. He is a great asset for Lange.
