xxl17 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 The Lange 1 is one of my favorite all-time watches. But ringing in at over 20gs makes the real one a bit out of my league. Has anyone ever seen a quaility rep of it? Thanks!
gran Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 In many ways it is a shame to make a replica of Lange 1....to me the Lange and Söhne watches are just too beautiful to be properly repped...when I started collecting replicas I was looking and looking for a Lange replica and all I found was crap and missspellings I guess the Lange 1815 is a reasonably good Lange replica
freddy333 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Posted May 31, 2011 The large date window has been the stumbling point for Lange 1 reps. There have been a number of attempts, but no rep has ever come close to getting this right & the typically standard-sized (small) date window is a dead giveaway of fakes. Although not 1 of my favorite models, the most accurate Lange rep I have seen is the Grand Arkade in rose with a black dial (this combination is a custom order in the gen). Depending on the date (some dates have alignment problems), it is usually close enough to pass from an arm's length away Otherwise, select a model without a date complication & be aware that the angles/edges on the gens are more articulated than on the reps.
