xxl17 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share 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! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gran Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share 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 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
freddy333 Posted May 31, 2011 Report Share 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.
