Honey, I shrunk the wallet...
After missing the chance in Dubai, I returned to US and they are taking orders and delivery of this timepiece now.
I called around, most boutiques and AD are still accepting orders. This boutique just got this piece in and is still available so I got hold of it, not wanting to regret again. I wouldn't say "to grab it" because at previous discussion, we know it is still available due to earlier release of the Platinum piece with black dial, so this supply may take a while to digest.
This is my 1st Lange and i cannot be happy enough due to its special meaning and differences in metal.
I was previously looking at Lange and most advices was, of course, get the Lange 1 or Dato. I was close to choosing the RG Grand Lange 1 Moonphase....hesitated because it will be similar to my Blancpain RG complete calendar in terms of function and metal, they are not the same league but I hate to not wear another watch due to having one that is close.
Also, I'm moving towards simple time only, even though my exit or grail watch will be a complicated one.
Lastly, my BD is Feb 18, what more to celebrate a timepiece with the founder who has the same BD?
The color, size of this 1815 HG is perfect for me. Glad to be here in this forum finally!

It came sealed, no one tried it on yet.
Call it in time for Christmas!

congratulations! a wonderful piece..you will certainly
enjoy it a lot and in good health. Simply Wonderful !! Christian
Thanks Christian, I waited few days per your advice...
It is a good one to own...btw, I sent you a PM, pls respond if you get chance. The new site does not alert users with PM like before. Rgds Raymond
Nice! I always wanted a Platinum, if I have known earlier..,
About this before, I will get this one.
so you think the platinum is nicer? Well this proves...
the point that we always like what we don't have? I think that both are truly special. Is the PT sold out in the U.S. ? I think there are still some around here in Europe
Congrats Raymond!
I am happy you got your HG 1815 ! Thanks for sharing your joy and pics. Really good to get this just in time for Christmas I have news mine is coming soon too Will be joining you in a few weeks! Cheers Robin
Good to hear that, Robin. Waiting in anticipation is even better sometimes...
Have you decided on the other big one? Remember, don't regret because we only live once ) Rgds Raymond
Actually yes on the other big one lol
Since you asked I have to spill the beans :p #100/100 is reserved for me. Muahahahah Shhhh I will post later when I get it :p Cheers Robin
I knew it!! Congrats, see you got perks for your efforts :)) as I said right?
if it's not #1, it's 100/100, all awesome numbers. All your watches have very good investment value. That's why in S'pore, people say "money is afraid of cold, it goes to those with lots of it". Rgds Raymond
Lol thank you Raymond!
It\'s not really a perk from Montblanc. I ordered it from an AD where I am a super regular there. This AD is the one which partners very well with Montblanc in Singapore. Maybe that\'s why they managed to secure #100/100 for me (Montblanc doesn\'t know it...
Almost, yes, and I saving the best for last. I know exactly what I want, how many watches left to exit...
Wouldn't say on a roll, slightly above average I would say....still waiting for a beagle to land ) Rgds Raymond
Congrats...
I've bought another 1815 HG but it isn't this one and I got it a few years ago... And I gifted it... But it's close by.
Thanks Patrick, I think they are all winners...
I am going to own a Lange and 1815 or RL time only cannot go wrong imo.
Congratulations Raymond!
This is a great move imho. I love this watch and would love to confirm this impression in the metal one day. As a previous owner of a RG 1815, I totally share your choice. Congratulations and I'm glad to see it in your hands. Cheers, Mark
Thanks Mark, this is one of the best time-only watch ...
currently in market, with its special celebration. I am very happy to get one and will keep it. Rgds Raymond
Congratulations with a stunning watch!
I\'m very sure it will find a solid position in your collection. Less = more. Another family member saying \'hi\' ...
Hi Arie, always good to see brothers saying "Hi",
wish I have more siblings within this brand. It is indeed an important piece for me. Thank you. Rgds Raymond
It is a lovely thing ..
..but then I am biased to a Lange three hand watch Would love to see some daylight shots of the HG and dial
Thank you Ahmed. Be warned once you hold it, because my mind was going through...
lots of decision at that point of time. Gotta spend some time to make quite a few calls. Rgds Raymond
Lol I went through the same Raymond
Held in hand, lots of thoughts and had to make some phone calls lol! Cheers Robin
Congratulations on the fine acquisition!
.... I'm sure you will be shrinking your wallet in time to come for more Langes. Enjoy!
Way to go Raymond!
I have a list of just a few brands I plan to add to my small collection. AL&S is among them. Congratulations, you selected a real beautiful watch.
Totally, Michael, AL&S itself can be a collection...
I'm glad to have this one as my first. Hope you get yours soon. Your AP collection is already very impressive, you're too humble ) Rgds Raymond
Congratulations....
on this purchase...a fine choice for a 1st Lange. The HG is a beautiful color and the dial color goes perfectly with it. Wear it in good health! I also dropped you a pm.
Hi sc16, indeed this version is very special...
I replied your PM, welcome and congrats on yours too! Rgds Raymond
Thanks!
The funny thing is that I don't need to add any pics of mine, because they are exactly the same as how you posted them, except for the wrist shot as I have not yet wore mine. Waiting till New Year's eve.
