llsteve80 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Good idea? What giving it away? I just read the rest of the topic, and yes I agree, the people who know what a Lange is won't believe it, but most won't know anyway and its just a cool looking rep. I guess I could probably find a GENeric copy that looks like it but thats not as fun. That would be like buying an alpha paul newman instead of a DW newman. Blah.

Victoria Posted December 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Good idea about getting into Daytonas, since you can't find the Lange 1. I wish we had more choices in the right-hand corner for rating posts. My Gold Stars can mean anything from "Outstanding job" to that which I give a newbie, "Welcome and thanks for choosing this awesome forum. Hope you have a great time". Somehow, I think they don't get it. Anyway, that and the PMs are invaluable for an effusive lady like me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cleobis Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Great topiv victoria (and all the other that contributed, of course)...also great pics I also love Lange, but as with the rest of us here (I think) it's just a bit over my league, for now, but finding a good rep would be awsome to wear... Although I don't wear my reps to show-off, when you have such a special watch in your wrist like a lange you secretloy want someone to notest that it is a lange in your wrist, but as said before, those are probably the same people that will know imediately that it is a rep, so it's a bit a catch 22 thing... In my case I think I might get away with it, I'm a classical singer and as I move a lot and meet almost allways new people in every concert, they don't know for sure if I could get one or not...lol... cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted December 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Great topiv victoria (and all the other that contributed, of course)...also great pics 'brigada, Cleobis! I'm glad you have been browsing all the forum's sub-areas. I also love Lange, but as with the rest of us here (I think) it's just a bit over my league, for now, but finding a good rep would be awsome to wear... Although I don't wear my reps to show-off, when you have such a special watch in your wrist like a lange you secretloy want someone to notest that it is a lange in your wrist, but as said before, those are probably the same people that will know imediately that it is a rep, so it's a bit a catch 22 thing... Absolutely. BTW, I think the same thing about Panerai. Despite what others say about South Beach, I have seen all of THREE Panerai here, since becoming conscious of the marque. One was a Chinese lady tourist, wearing it on a pink band. I don't like that. But oh well, for rep collectors this is the problem and I wonder if this is why many men here mod their watches. To be sure, there are those who love tinkering with the mechanics because men love that. But a lot of them seem to stick to marques which can be modded to look more gen -- like Rolex, Panerai, IWC, etc. Lange clearly isn't one of those. In my case I think I might get away with it, I'm a classical singer and as I move a lot and meet almost allways new people in every concert, they don't know for sure if I could get one or not...lol... I'm sure you could! It's also nice to hear we have a classical singer in the bunch. The season just started at the Florida Grand Opera (where Luciano Pavarotti had his US debut), and this reminds me, I have to go pick up some tickets. Maybe I'll see you here one day! You'll be the only Don Giovanni with a Panerai. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, that would be great, though right now I'm more of thinking in getting into the German/austrian market...let's see but, if I ever go to the Florida Grand Opera, I'll be sure to let you know... cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Emmzy Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I have a source for this watch.... Not a bad copy? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricky Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 (edited) Not a bad copy? Judging from the pic... And I don't even wanna see the backside. Edited December 8, 2007 by bricky Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted December 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I have a source for this watch.... Not a bad copy? If it's between this and nothing, choose it, Emmzy. But I go with Bricky's opinion. I'll PM Narikaa to see what he can find, since Langes are interesting to a few people here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bricky Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Here's the back side wise guys.....it'll cost me 65 bucks plus shipping. Dammit... I said I didn't wanna see it. The problem with this rep is - it really looks like 65 bucks + shipping. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted December 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Dammit... I said I didn't wanna see it. The problem with this rep is - it really looks like 65 bucks + shipping. True. Get it anyway, Emmzy. @Emmzy: Hang on. Might get Narikaa to see about this. PMing as we speak. If it wouldn't kill you to wait, I'd say wait for a day!

Emmzy Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Perhaps this one will please you? I could get one of these for a little more dough. Don't like the black strap though, brown looks better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

narikaa Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Ive just posted this in another L&S thread: I have gained quite a reputation for getting good Lange & Sohne reps But if you want likeness to the original, unfortunately you have to stay simple and NO date apertures To this end IMHO to best replica in this respect is the RICHARD LANGE............... To save you some Google time heres the gen: . . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted December 8, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I knew you'd come up with the goods, Narikaa. I'll be buying one of these from you (prob. the white or black), in the coming week. Thanks for posting this! Oh, how many do you have? If someone wants them, and you only have one, don't worry. Sell it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
