Thank you.
Thank you for your welcome and compliment, mblum3. Yes, I had an early introduction to the RL as I was at the Manufactory when it was launched in 2006 - I saw a tray of them, mint fresh. I must say it has grown on me over time after my very first impression was perhaps a little austere - now, I really enjoy the fine details on it and the sweep of the beautiful blued seconds hand. As for the Saxonia family, I've had a Datograph, Big Date and Big Date with Moonphase. The Data (OG, pink gold) was the standout - I have bitter regrets having sold that years ago. In the "more accessible" category, the Moonphase was my favourite - I found it had a bit more dial vertical balance and "life". Interestingly too, when people talk about Lange moonphases, they always mention the solid gold disc and the 122.6 years adjustment interval, but it's another aspect that I truly love: the fact that the moonphase disc is continuously driven off of the hour wheel. That "always in motion" part gets me every time!

My Lange family
Hello, I am a long-time Lange collector and lurker here: I really enjoy the forum, hearing about each of you, the magnificent photography and - of course - seeing your magnificent Lange pieces! Here is a photo of my current Lange family. I go for pink gol...
Welcome here and what an intro!
4 fantastic watches from Lange. For me it would be difficult to choose between the chrono and the RL. Keep enjoying all of them. Br, Dirk
Thank you
Thank you for your welcome and compliment, Dirk. Yes, similar sizes and wrist presence - very different prices though! In my experience, the 1815 Chrono is somewhat more "technical" and familiar in dial feel - whereas the RL is solely about telling the ti...
Welcome and thanks for sharing!
Just gorgeous! The very first Lange I became enamored with was the Richard Lange you have. Any thoughts on acquiring something from the Saxonia family?
Thank you.

A warm welcome!
Beautiful collection, and I must say you have a great eye for the 1815 family. I'm especially partial to the 1815 Chronograph, what a watch!
Thank you
Thank you for your warm welcome and compliment, Rhyzen. Indeed. I like the PG / argente dial / blue hand one too - but the black dial version reminds me that the first edition of every Lange chronograph featured a black dial, so it's very traditional in t...
Welcome here. It's clear you like rose gold and Lange :)
And what's not to like? Cheers, John
Thank you
Thank you for your welcome, John. Indeed! Cheers. I like the balance of my collection at this point: two with blued hands - two with gold hands, two with 2 sub-dials, two larger - two smaller case sizes. It also means that, even when one is being serviced...
What a fantastic Lange lineup!
I also own a WG 1815 three hander and it's such a fantastic watch for basically any occasion that doesn't require WR.
Thank you
Thank you, watchestolove. Yes, it is. The 1815 was my first Lange and I wore it constantly. I, of course, wanted to like the 1815 Annual Calendar but it looks a bit "busy" to me with the three sub-dials. Plus, I can't read the date (a give-away on my age ...
Beautiful collection.
Thanks for sharing it with us, and I look forward to seeing more of these watches. The Up/Down was my first Lange love, followed quickly by the Zeitwerk. I still very much gravitate towards those two watches when I walk into a Boutique.
Thank you
Thank you for the compliment, Jay (Eire). That's a diverse duo! The Up/Down has gorgeous lateral symmetry to it and unimpeded the "6" in a way that gives the bottom half of the dial more air. The Zeitwerk was a slow-baker for me - the two I like the most ...
Thank you
Thank you for the welcome, armanico. I admire your collection too. Yes: a quartet is a nice number for me and means that I always retain three with one in for service over a 4-year cycle. I do like odd numbers though - 3 or 5 - and if I upped my collectio...
Welcome!
Congratulations on your post and thank you for sharing these four Lange with us, they are stunning. Especially in rose gold which is also my favorite metal, just oozing class. Especially love the RL and chrono
Thank you
Thank you for your welcome and compliments, Derrick. Yes, after discovering rose gold it became the approachable and classy gold for me. The RL has been the sleeper in my collection - it slowly grew on me from afar over many years and, after acquiring one...
Yes
That wheel train on RL with its separate bridge is beautiful indeed. Good to see that you are thoroughly enjoying your watches, thanks again sharing them and your knowledge with us too.
