cornerstone Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Noticed these on King's site - possibly new Lange reps using the mystery big date Asian mvt we saw with Breitling: With a big date, and subdials at 4 and 7 this would be a very exciting step forward for Lange reps - it's nice to see them working on this brand at all. Of course, the movement is an unknown quantity. Between the two models here, a 'perpetual' is perhaps trying to bite off more than they can chew, while the 'flyback' has a moon at six that needn't be there as far as I'm aware. But this is potentially big progress. Anyone else noticed these? (Or are they not news?) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfreeman420 Posted July 23, 2007 Report Share Posted July 23, 2007 Saw these a while ago. Very nice looking, but I would like to see the flyback in the white dial with the bigger subdials. That would be more accurate I think. I don't know why they insist on adding that moon phase when the gen only has one in platinum. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cornerstone Posted July 24, 2007 Author Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 You're right - I think the rose gold only comes with a white face as far as I know. Here's a gen with a black face: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rek001 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 Yes I noticed this on King's site - very interesting. But, less shiny subdials please! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dadog13 Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 guys, I think this has the asian movement...so i am concerned a little bit regarding the subdials working or not?...i think that the subdials have no real function... but thinking about these more complex reps...i wouldn't mind having one with a perfect dial and case...without the need that all the subdials are working or not...

sssurfer Posted July 24, 2007 Report Share Posted July 24, 2007 mystery big date Asian mvt Seagull TY-2871 (w/ subdial hands moved 1 hour downside). i am concerned a little bit regarding the subdials working or not?...i think that the subdials have no real function... Subdial @4 HR: month. Subdial @8 HR: day of week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anton Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 Speaking of Asian "Big Date" movement used in Breitling reps...(specifically that uber-hideous fake tourbillon) I once overheard a seller in canal st. mention that it was a 52-week counter rather than a date counter. (I saw one that needed to be wound and it was at "39". I laughed until I heard them explain it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
archibald Posted July 25, 2007 Report Share Posted July 25, 2007 There has always been a part of the chinese rep industry perfectly willing for whatever reason to go through the trouble of making a half-assed reps of an unreppable watches when there are dozens of watches they could have done more accurately, and probably less expensively. My guess is that the (probably) correct assumption that in the minds of many there is very little difference between a real Lange and the rep.
