OMG wicked cool.  A simply stunningly beautiful watch with a movement to die for.  Thank you for the pics and wear it in the best of health.

I don't want to be the one boasting, but IT IS DROP DEAD GORGEOUS!

Wish i had you all here with me to celebrate with champagne and caviar! What a piece this is to celebrate with!

The movement, i cant say in tongues!

Thank you for the wishes!

Stephen

Astounding on so many levels.

Now hit the gym Stephen, because the lady's piece fits your wrist much better, and we can't have that!  LOL, enjoy that incredible watch.

wELL, that would be gone soon, onto a more important's Ladies wrist, the wrist of the woman who brought me into this world, my mom!

Sure you would approve of that!

The PLM is my WOTY for an eternity Michael, for NOTHING could beat this, not for more or less complication.

Cheers from the founder of  " Marine Chronometer for the Wrist" club,

Hey fellow Lange PuristS!

Thanks for all the congratulatory messages! Much appreciated! Like i said, wish everyone was here so we could all go out for a Friday night's worth of Champagne and Caviar! & the party would last from now till Sunday evening!

Here are some more shots of my piece, all are repeated, but this time being EXTRA LARGE AND CLEAR!

ENJOY!

LoL, and i think i said this b4, it's a he! haha

Cheers

The pics took my breadth away. I am speechless. Stunned! The PLM is easily the Watch of the Year, and unless we see something more spectacular, perhaps even the Watch of the Decade. Thanks for sharing your journey to the watch. A big congrats!

You must wear the watch the next time we meet up. I'll plan a trip soon.

By the way, I love the reception/celebration and send-off that Kosugi san and his team gave you. Only in Japan....

Congrats again!


Warm regards,

iAn

Sorry the timings were off though, as you know when i 1st collect a watch, i never ever touch the crown.

It's into it's 1st wind right now, 2 more to go before i can strap it on!

The pain, the agony!

But, I AM A PERFECTIONIST, SO NO COMPROMISE, NOT especially so for one such as this!

Jinsei ikkai dake dayo Ian san....

Lange might come up with a Minute Repeater, or more tourbillions, or combined complications like our friend Jaeger Lecoultre is doing, BUT i sincerely believe for my personally, knowing my collection theme and what I demand for in a watch, this RL PLM simply CANNOT be surpassed even in a millenium.

Cheers mate

Stephen

LOL... you're a true perfectionist. I can't wait for the result of your watch accuracy test on this one.

By the way, what's that grayish thing that Kosugi san was holding on his right hand when he's changing the strap?

Warm regards,

iAn

I'm catching a +1 sec in 12 hours right now, which is NOT a good thing for me, LoL!

i KNOW I'M too strict, but hey it wouldn't be fun right if you ain't a perfectionist who is totemo urusai!

The bulb looking thing you referring to? That is an air blower, it helps to take off dust off the case without damaging it.

Easily purchased from any watch parts dealer here in Tokoy, they are mainly in the Okachimachi district. ( Ueno ni chikai)

Cheers

Stephen

But +1 over 12 hours is good. But I totally understand your expectations. I'd have the same expectations too if I blew so much money on a watch!

That's the first time I'm seeing the blower thingy. If AD's here were more professional. I have had several straps changed but never saw that thing.

Like Duh!

Yea will reveal the results once testing is over.

I expect to wear my RL PLM by Thursday, the 1815 probably later next weekend, and mom's soiree will be done in like 2 weeks time, because it's PR is hell long.

LoL, GUESS someone isn't sleeping yet!

As if i will!

Cheers

Stephen

Stephen,

Your post has moved me to the point that I had to join the forum just to respond!!

All too often do I witness the marriage of wherewithall and bad taste (IMHO) - a terrible and unjust combination

But of course taste is personal and personally I love yours! Thank you for sharing and allowing me on a journey I can dream to make.

Congratulations on all of your remarkable timepieces. Wear them in excellent health.

Dave.

Always a pleasure to welcome a new member in our " small " Community!

Don't be shy, we all have weird tastes!



Looing forward to hear more from you,

Best!

Nicolas

Stefano

Stephen

You dreamt about it, and you did it!

Awesome catch...

And even the number is excellent.

Huge congrats on this latest catch.

Enjoy it...Admire it, Feel it, Live with it, Love it....



Best,

Nicolas

Stephen

Congrats Stephen.  Hope mine will come soon.
