It looks like a standard cheap dress watch to anyone else viewing it. This look is very common...if you're paying for a Lange, it should be obvious to anyone else that it's a top-quality watch from one of the world's finest watchmakers. The white gold doesn't help at all, giving the impression of budget steel. At least yellow gold or rose gold would elevate it somewhat - although it would still probably resemble a dress Tissot or Longines with this design. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ The open case-back is the best part as is so often the case with Lange but with this timepiece, it's orders of magnitude above the trite & simplistic dial.
@centrallyintelligentagency Жыл бұрын
It’s disappointing they don’t do their own cases/have entirely German ones (SUG is their only German case supplier). But they’re pretty impressive watches anyway-I’ve handled a Lange 1 Timezone and a Saxonia. They’re pretty! Great videography as usual.

I really like your watch reviews. Because of you, I bought a sbgm221 a couple of months ago and just love it! Thanks! ALS is a brand that I have so much respect and admiration of, so when you put this grey strap on the Lange I actually got a little sad. The strap looks sooo cheap and out of place on the watch and even if I think the original strap looks too glossy, there must be other options for this wonderful piece! Slightly disrespectful to the Saxonia in my humble opinion. Just saying. No offense…:) Keep up the great job and thanks again for the GS…

Gotta love the deep dives, pulling out a Coffee Talk reference. Anyway, fricken Lange. The brand I love to hate to love. Lust and disgust all at once. The Lange' brand is what first got me into watches. I remember an old KZbin vid interviewing Kevin Rose (tech nerd and 1st gen Watch enthusiast) who happens to be rich and talked about his Lange. That's where the truly endless rabbit hole began for me. This Lange here is gorgeous, but of course so cost prohibitive for most that it's nothing more than an 'entry level' art piece in a museum with an unobtainable cover charge. - kzbin.info/www/bejne/a2nKo4yweMiZfqs

Lovely review as usual. Lange are clearly top notch quality. For me though. I like an accurate mechanical watch, as well as beautiful styling. I read recently that despite all the qudos and cost. Some ALS watches are, and despite the lovingly crafted in house movements. Pretty unimpressive accuracy wise ...? Maybe that's why they forgo the seconds hand then hey..... ;-) I have a Coaxial 8900 movement in my beater Omega that is 1 second fast in 8 months. No kidding! Regulated simply by altering it's crown up or down resting position. For all that money here.... Be nice to see a similar level of timing precision to go with all the other great aspects we know they have... Just my 10 pence worth?
