Very intelligent dial/complication configuration. Been given the opportunity and finding it very hard to resist.

Personally love that combination

While I am a Lange fan, I prefer the Swiss offerings for a perpetual calendar.

good week ahead mon ami !

something i don't enjoy much with most ALS with Big-date, date-window background mismatch to dial & the first digit missing for first 9 days. but again, no watch is perfect for any purist, isn't it ;-) Best, mahesh.,

It is easy to read especially for someone with failing eyesight (me). I said it's expensive because of the tourbillion and will wait for one without it. This year my wish came true. I love the pink gold version but I doubt I will be able to buy it. It wil...

but if you see the screen shot of OP's text above, problem is not available for purchase without strings attached...and many either cannot add the extra or like the extra, so what's the point then? This new strategy has been discussed in many area and I'm... 

Only worth considering if you authentically want one of the other pieces (and can afford the combo).

Will be supportive with the comment above on mismatching the colour of date’ background and the dial. But on the rose gold face the white date window looks fine. By the way, I don’t understand why is Lange always printing the names / some individual speci...
