Very keen observation
To my eye, the biggest differences of 36 vs 38.5 mm are 1) the blued steel hands instead of the rose gold hands and 2) the stepped semicircle on the dial instead of none. After closer reexamination of that pic, it appears you are correct. Perhaps the owner swapped out the rose gold hands for blued steel hands?
The quintessential Dress Watch - Which One?
It’s been a while. Hope all my Purist Friends are happy, healthy and getting ready for a wonderful holiday season! I am considering one of these, and am torn. I have owned a few 1815 in the past, but never a VC. The previous 1815’s were sold while I was c...
The 1815 is 1815, where the VC is timeless.
Very hard to decide! The VC is a bit "sportier", more masculine, where the Lange is pure poetry, very calm and gentle. The play with light and shadow on the VC is also superior to the Lange. Sorry, but if not both ... I can't decide! 😃
Two excellent timepieces. There's no wrong decision. The privilege of choosing is entirely yours because you are the one who will wear it.
My best advice is to choose the one that best fits your personality, lifestyle and overall sense of style.
I have to go VC...
...but it's difficult to articulate the reasons. If I could I'd get both, but the VC has a sharper look to it...a bit more modern for lack of a better word...
I love both of these watches, but for me there's actually no contest
1815. The VC is a wonderfully subtle watch, but that rose gold 1815 is just breathtaking. 1815 dial and hands just leap out at you in a way that the VC, I think, doesn't. I look at the VC straight on and think, "Yes, everything is just as it should be." I...
The 1815 shown in the pic
Is the 1st gen - 36mm.. the current 38.5mm has a different look.. thinner bezel + railway min track closer to bezel.. seems like minor changes but does change the look of the watch

Personalily I'll chose 1815, the movement looks better.
Actually I never know why vc does not use free sprung balance.
Truth be told
Don’t don’t think that photos are important but the way these two watches once worn make YOU feel is what matters. Whist the VC exudes class and taste, the 1815 would make me feel better in the long run. Honey gold preferred however.
