I bought a piece of "nonsense" today... LOL
But I'm just living within my means. Will let you know what it is via SMS.
I'm thinking of Aki. The weather would be perfect by then. Hate the summer heat in Tokyo. Yea, the pic reminded me of you taking me to the store, and the walk in the rain. Haha. And I was thinking....oh no.. here goes my shoes. But they held up well.
We got to check out watches and shoes when I'm there mate. Will email you when my schedule is firm.
Warm regards,

The son comes before the father...
Guten abend guys! Hope you all had a great day! I know i enjoyed mine very much! The reason is cause I managed to catch the prince trying to sneak into my home! But well, to take you all into the adventure, let's do it through photos! Without further ado,...
Congratulations!
New watch day is always a happy one! This will be an exciting Lange week for all of us, since you have two more deliveries expected. Enjoy your new 1815! It's a beauty! Cheers, Daos
Thanks Daos!
It sure is indeed one for me! But tomorrow! Oh man! It'll still be sometimes around this time next week when I can put my 1815 on and go out. Just now's wristshot was just a trial after making the single hole on the belt. ( All my straps are customised to...
Congrats!
Congratulations! It is a gorgeous watch! We await your post with the King and Queen to come
Thank you Sid!
I hope to post some great shots, but in the same manner! Cheers Stephen
Such Great Watch ......If this is a Prince,
I have no idea what is a King. Turborgaph? Congratulation for such gorgeous piece, I really love its subtlety and the dial *CL
No my friend...
I havent got such funds. But, the King to me is one piece that fills the core of my collection, fulfills every single criteria of what a perfect watch would be to me , and is one that is highly similar to the Turbograph, but is less, yet more. Wait till t...
Congratulations Stephen....................
I fancy that you will not be getting toooooooooo much sleep tonight!! Looking forward to following the next exciting instalment of your hunt for the King!
Thank you!
I actually managed to sleep for quite abit! Guess I was really exhausted from work this past week! Sure, come along again today! Cheers Stephen

Will it be a sleepless night?
After the Prince, here comes the King! I am really excited for you. That personalized platinum thread strap takes it to a different level I believe. Congrats and tx for taking us with you! cheers fernando
I think i'll sleep tonight...
Or rather, have to force myself to as i have a lunch appointment tomorrow before going to collect the King! I'm glad you like the strap, that is the standard strap I do for ALL my Pt watches, whether Lange or not. So it's like VC's only watch 2007 kinda c...
Excellent choice, Stephen... A true Lange!
Magnificient, understated, discrete and so classy! Huge congrats. Best, Nicolas
Merci mon ami!
It sure is an understated piece, good for my daily business! A bientot] Stephen
I like the idea of the hole in one!
Stephen: Great pictorial presentation. Nice watch. Only in the best of health! I noticed a steak in there. It will only prepare you for Peter Lugers. BTW, I love the idea of the one hole sized strap. I would love that on my Dato. Does Lange make a strap w...
This is done with all my straps
Hey Mark, I'm glad you enjoyed the strap! I will PM you the details. No, the strap is NOT from Lange. LoL, is the steak served at Peter Lugers in the same style? ( sliced? I'd actually prefer the american style of not cut up for you, but here in Japan the...
Peter Lugers Steaks: Cut In Thick Chunks not Thin Slices!
It is a world famous steak house. Many consider their steaks (porter house) the finest steak in the world. Do a Google search on Peter Lugers and see for yourself. This message has been edited by markieesq on 2009-07-30 21:13:18
What an amazing post and super big congrats :-)....
The whole day was another level, your AD rocks I wish ours here were even 25% as cool as yours Wear her in health S
Congrats Stephen!
It's a gorgeous watch! Thanks for the detailed report, I left like I was going with you to get the watch. Look forward to "going with you" tomorrow to get the king. Stefano
It's my personal favourite
True Midnight Blue Lousiana Crocodile with Platinum stitching ( and by this i don't mean the colour is just silvered, the thread is really platinum wires!) Cheers Stephen
Congratulations.. Mr. Platinum
Hi Stephen, I haven't visited this space for a while, and miss this community a lot. Hope you are well. Many thanks for the scoop, and big congratulations on the arrival of your new 1815 plat. A very nice watch indeed, and your custom-made strap is a good...
Mai pen rai Tee tan!
I was just wondering where you went to the other day! Glad to hear you are still fine! All family, everyone doing great I hope! Well, please have a look at my latest post, and tell me what you think! Cheers Stephen
Thanks for sharing Stephen
After some time passes, I want to hear your impressions of this piece. In the mean time...Steak! Cheers, - Richard.
Steak!
Cheers Richard! I'm sure having a steak dinner over watches is the best! Stephen
What a gorgeous and timeless piece...
Congratulations again on your recent additions to your collection. A. Lange & Sohne is surely the finest IMO. Enjoy! Regards, Jason
1815 LE?
Is this a 1815 pt? I never knew lange made a LE for the 1815 b/f it was discontinued. Or is this another model? Am I missing something? Thanks.
Yes, this is the new 1815
that was released at SIHH 2009. The previous 1815 in Platinum had no L/E to it, but this new one is released in an L/E of 500 pieces. For your info the case diameter is 40mm, and the movement is a new one entirely made by Lange ( as opposed to the older o...
Difference between the Richard Lange pt and the 1815 pt
Could you share with me your opinion of the 2 watches above? I have a hard time picking 1 from the 2 to acquire. They look too similar to pick a favourable one. Thanks.
Are you sure they look too similar my friend?
How about a look close-up? This is the RL in Platinum. It has centre seconds, as oppsed to the 1815 which has a sub-seconds dial. This movement was created for the sole purpose for supreme rate accuracy, and has a gyromax style balance wheel to assist in ...
I know their differences but ...
what I meant was that they look quite the same in character. I didn't know the story behind the RL's movement. Thanks for sharing that. So it was created soley for time keeping accuracy? Was it used in other models of Lange? Talking about time keeping acc...
Lange creates a new movement for each model
Thus the movement found in the RL is unique, and not implemented in any other model. The RL PLM was also created for even greater accuracy, but no comments on that yet as I just received mine and is undergoing tests. They are totally different again i rei...
Every time I see pics of those movements...
they look more beautiful than the last. Simply stunning. The dial isn't too bad either. Regards, Jason
That is why they say of Lange
You could wear the watch with the movement side up! And it would be perfect! Cheers Stephen
Good morning little Prince...
A very beautiful and impressive acquisition to add to your ever-increasing collection. Enjoy this beautiful watch, and personalized to suit you in every way. What's the story behind the strap? Who makes the strap? Why do you favor this strap (color, thick...
It sure does look like his father the King...
Besides the railway track minutes scale and the arabic numerals, this piece really resembles the RL PLM, especially when the size is only 0.5mm difference. It has it's own beautiful and highly deserved character. About the strap, i'll PM you. Cheers Steph...
I know I've been warned
Omedetou! But you're truly insane. Four brand new Lange's at a go! LOL... Thanks for sharing the photos. I love the shot of the stairs leading to the store. Nasukashii... So is this gonna be your daily wear now? It must be fun waking up each new day and w...
Doumo Ian san!
Hey, watches are my 1st passion, you know that pretty well! Yea, you must remember the 1st time i brought you to Kosugi san's place yah, hehe This 1815 is planned to be my daily, and the RL PLM for those extra special occasions, weekends, and when i feel ...
I bought a piece of "nonsense" today... LOL
But I'm just living within my means. Will let you know what it is via SMS. I'm thinking of Aki. The weather would be perfect by then. Hate the summer heat in Tokyo. Yea, the pic reminded me of you taking me to the store, and the walk in the rain. Haha. An...
Oh my , here we go again!
Buddy buddy, how many times must i lecture you before you understand?! I'm interested to hear what your latest catch is! Aki wa ii ne, yea just give me a heads up, and this time i know places! I teach you watch, you teach me shoes! What a bargain! hahaha ...
Haha..
But imagine how many "nonsenses" I can buy with the price of the PLM .. But yea, I guess I need to be more disciplined in saving. You got PM. Warm regards, iAn
