My first Lange: 1815
Like Darien, who just posted a thread about the price difference between these two models, I have been struggling for a while trying to decide which would be my first Lange.
The Lange 1 Moonphase was an early contender, but once I tried it on it felt small, so I felt inclined to go with the RL which felt perfect on my wrist.
However, I wanted it in "white" and the only alternative would be platinum...meaning quite some $$$ difference with the rose gold model which was an attractive reasonable alternative.
However, a year ago I saw the new 1815 come out with its very tempting 40mm size. And a very significant price difference with the RL in platinum. I will not argue obviously on the technical merits of the RL over the 1815, but I have to say that the small seconds and the blue hands grew on me and it all ended up pushing me just yesterday towards...THIS!!
The bottom line is that I am perfectly happy with the 1815 which will look terrific with a suit (I just did not felt like putting a jacket on on a Saturday ;-)) Entry level...but a beautiful one, and just what I wanted: an elegant & uncomplicated dress watch.
Congratulations!
The 1815 in white gold is among my favorite Langes. The blued hands look great against the white metal. The new movement looks to have some nice improvements. You did well, I believe. Enjoy it.

Bottom line is that the 1815 is simply sublime on you...
Wear it in the best of health always Sanro!

Congratulations and Enjoy!.....
And yes it looks great with a suit but don't hesitate to dress it down with a pair of jeans and sports shirt... i love to do that with my RL PLT
Wear it in good health.
Great piece!
I would suggest that you try it with a blue strap! As this will match the hands quite nicely.
Enjoy your beautiful new watch!

Your new watch reflects in the better way the traditional orological german craftmanship. No other else could display so clearly the human wit.
Lange 1815 shows masterly the path to haute orlogerie. Its not only the entry level. Its much more.
Congrats.
Congratulations
A superb choice, Sanro.
When I saw it in the flesh, during the SIHH, I loved it a lot.
That is a true nice Lange, obviously.
Class, Elegant, Dressy, Timeless, I don't see any flaws in this watch, only pleasure.
Welcome to the Lange World.
Best,

Thanks Nicolas!
beautiful and elegant watch!
Great choice and looks good on your wrist. I have the previous model 1815, and still enjoy wearing it with both suits and casual.
Congratulations!
Love the watch with that very special movement.
But I am having a hard time convincing myself to have it in coloured gold.
The 1815 is a very serious contender for me.
Will be interesting to see it in real life.
Enjoy your very beautiful watch!

Is a beautiful Lange, balanced and elegant. Congratulations, sanro. [nt]
