Hi everyone, I recently acquired this 236.050 on the secondary market. It's from 2015 and appears to be in great shape, but the service history booklet is completely blank.

Given that it's now nearly a decade old with no recorded service, would you recommend I send it in for full servicing now or wait till show signs of timekeeping inaccuracy ?

I've also heard that service at Lange will involve polishing and cleaning the German silver part, thus removing its beautiful developing patina. Is…

Hello all,

I am the fortunate owner of a first gen Datograph which has been my companion for a while. I love the watch and its size, and I alternate between this , a silver dial Time Zone and a white gold/black Zeitwerk.

I am pretty happy with my Lange collection, though I have been toying with the idea of trading my Dato for a silver dial first generation Datograph perpetual: I really would love a grand complication and I am drawn to the silver dial iteration.

I cannot, for the…

I received an email this morning from my local boutique indicating that "Lange will be adjusting prices on select models starting in May." The word "adjusting" must be their kind way of saying increase.

Then the email goes on to say that it is a good time to browse and purchase now ahead of the adjustment. Sharing this as a PSA for you all in case someone here can make it to the boutique to beat the price hike. Good luck out there!

The A. Lange 1815is my grail wstch and I want to start saving up for it.
The only problem: I cant decide for which one. I like both the normal 1815 and Up/Down.

What I like about the "plain" 1815 is the simplicity and classiness and lack of additional functions. But sometimes the dial appears to plain and boring to me.

The dial of the Up/Down seems to be more interesting, but is the Gangreserve function useful? I…

I am considering a Lange deployant for my Zeitwerk. If you have or have had a deployant buckle what did you like or not like. I am thinking about the single fold. I have a 6 inch wrist and I would feel safer with it on the strap as opposed to the pin buckle. I put my watch on over the bed usually and twice now it has slipped from my hands onto the pillows. I am terrified that by some chance I might have an accident if I am not seated or standing over the bed when putting on the watch…

when you read about watch valuations over time, Rolex and PP always gets mentioned for holding and typically increasing in value. What's the thought on other HH brands such as Lange? Should one expect their Lange's to increase in value over time? Given their craftsmanship and gorgeous movements, i'm surprised they don't stack up or gain mention like the Patek's. I have a rose gold Lange 1 and curious how the market might value this over time. I suppose that might inform my next purchase as...
