Stephen, major congrats on scoring the first RL PLM off the fabled factories of ALS. This piece is indeed a beauty. Thanks for taking us along on this journey. I also love the Soiree you got for you mum. What were the other colors you got for her if you f...
You're most welcomed Rob!

The 1st piece I got for mom was the WG little Lange 1 Soiree with black MOP dial, which I unfortunately have not photos of. The 2nd piece was this, Which was the Soiree from last year, and the 3rd was what I got today! The Little Lange 1 Soiree moonphase!...
Have a happy holiday Mark!

Great to hear you are taking time off! Lol, well just have a visit to that AD, and have a browse, and be reminder of the perfection that lies in each Lange timepiece. I will be enjoying my PLM for sure in the weeks to come! And beyond! I know that #7 hold...
No worries CL!

They may look similar, but are highly different, in terms of movement and such. In the coming weeks I hope to do a comparison of them both, and will update the forum on the results. This watch is stunning my friend, i know i own it, but i'm just dying to ...

So I noticed your initial ST on the balance bridge. It is so cool... Very nicely done by the Master Engraver. I bet you can spend hour and hour just gazing at it and proudly smile. Enjoy! It's cloudy and rainy here in Bangkok, but I'm sure this weekend in...
I will do so CC!

wELL, that would be gone soon, onto a more important's Ladies wrist, the wrist of the woman who brought me into this world, my mom! Sure you would approve of that! The PLM is my WOTY for an eternity Michael, for NOTHING could beat this, not for more or le...
OMG buddy..
By: ianny : August 1st, 2009-07:31
The pics took my breadth away. I am speechless. Stunned! The PLM is easily the Watch of the Year, and unless we see something more spectacular, perhaps even the Watch of the Decade. Thanks for sharing your journey to the watch. A big congrats! You must we...
Let's wait for 24 hours...
By: ianny : August 1st, 2009-10:08
But +1 over 12 hours is good. But I totally understand your expectations. I'd have the same expectations too if I blew so much money on a watch! That's the first time I'm seeing the blower thingy. If AD's here were more professional. I have had several st...
My first post!
By: manitouman : August 5th, 2009-00:22
Stephen, Your post has moved me to the point that I had to join the forum just to respond!! All too often do I witness the marriage of wherewithall and bad taste (IMHO) - a terrible and unjust combination But of course taste is personal and personally I l...
Dankeschön und Glückwunsch!
By: anaesdoc : July 31st, 2009-13:21
Hello Stephen, I´d just like to join in with all those who said thanks for your luxuriously pictured post! This way, this marvellous watch, which will be an extremely rare bird to spot in "real life", could be treasured by all of us! Alles Gute und viel F...
Another dream fulfilled!
By: AlexSunrise : July 31st, 2009-19:46
Stephen, Congratulations on such a milestone! You are one of the lucky few, and I cannot but say thanks for having us taken along with you since the moment you were considering jumping on it or not. After the pics and ceremony, I am glad you did! I wish y...
Muchas gracias Alejandro!
By: BluNotte : July 31st, 2009-19:55
It is indeed a stupendous watch, and right now i'V just wound it till the max for the 1st time, and seeing the chain pay out is simply awesomE! I'm glad to hear from you again after so long, trust things are well there? LoL, There wasn'T any celebration, ...
A Toast!
By: patrick_y : July 31st, 2009-20:21
I raise my flute of champagne to you Stephen; congratulations upon your acquisition of your new Richard Lange Pour le Mérite in platinum. I believe these are the first photos of a non-prototype Richard Lange Pour le Mérite I've ever seen. The final produc...
Eine Prosst my brother!
By: BluNotte : July 31st, 2009-20:54
Firstly, thank you for the very many kind words! It's been a long journey indeed, beginning last November when I 1st came to the knowledge of it's existence. From the moment I laid eyes on it, even on paper, I knew THIS WAS ONE FOR ME. If i only ever got ...
Thank you TOPCAT!
By: BluNotte : August 1st, 2009-08:00
I always appreciate your comments very much! LoL, I humbly own only 4 Langes my friend. You are correct, I am indeed awaiting my Zeitwerk at the present. Thank you, and I will post my results when they emerge. Cheers Stephen

Anda adalah satu lucky dude and one with taste pesolek! Wonderful writeup, always a pleasure to rejoice with a fellow purist on such journey! You made my day! Wear it in good heath my friend! Mech.
good question Stephen
By: Mech : August 1st, 2009-21:03
Actually it's safe to assume my behasa is worse than yours because I'm not even Indonesian and I have no idea what pesolek mean, I simply did a online english to indonesian translation, copied and pasted, all I can assure is the stuff I meant to say were ...
Thanks Eric!
By: BluNotte : August 1st, 2009-23:33
Yes apparently my PLM is the 1st here in Japan, and i heard that the PLM is being manufactured according to the limited number, from bottom up. So my piece is the lowest number, and thus gets completed 1st! Cheers Stephen
Hey there Daos!
By: BluNotte : August 2nd, 2009-22:25
I was wondering where my best lady PuristS friend went to! Thanks! I sure had a good day last week in collecting my PLM! It is amazing, yes its cliched but i'll say it again! Lange is indeed the one and only brand for a true perfectionist, and there is de...
