cleobis Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Hi, after reading victoria's thread about Lange, I started to look for a good rep (which I know is almost impossible), I've seen some ok and the say they have working moon fase....I thought no rep had proper working moon fase...so: Are these reps true in saying the moon fase dial actually works or is it just bs? thks all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bricky Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Well.. they are certainly true in terms of a working moonphase dial. That doesn't mean the dial shows the correct moonphase. AFAIK those subdials are simply connected to the hour wheel and turn way too fast.... Please correct me if there are reps with correctly working moonphase subdials.

Emmzy Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 As posted in Victoria's thread.....I have found this version, without moonphase....true Bricky, they move too quickly and no there are no true replicas of moonphase watches... Not bad? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
narikaa Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 Moonphases...never work as moon phase in these models, always as 'Day Night indicators' (Sun n Moon) 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...
llsteve80 Posted December 8, 2007 Report Share Posted December 8, 2007 I have seen some crazy stuff with the langes. "Lange 1" with 2 small movements showing 2 time zones, moonphase (actually am/pm indicators) It's nutty out there. I just like the general look of the watch, and it's so far fetched that accuracy wouldn't bug me too much as long as it isn't ridiculous. For this model, I don't really care what anyone thinks, I'd enjoy checking the time and seeing the close approximation of the elegant original. Narikaa, that is one of the best I've seen, great find!

cleobis Posted December 9, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 thks for the replys guys, very helpfull, as allways... Narikaa, those are some stunning reps!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victoria Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 thks for the replys guys, very helpfull, as allways... Narikaa, those are some stunning reps!!!!! And Narikaa is British, so no EU problems in shipping, Cleobis. Well, for example, I don't trust the French post and Italian post at all, but between Portugal and the UK, it should be fine! @Emmzy: I was going to link to Narikaa's forum with the prices. http://www.rwg.cc/members/index.php?showforum=63 But since the other day when I bought the Tag Link, he's taken down almost all of his rep watch sales! Boo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xyphis Posted December 9, 2007 Report Share Posted December 9, 2007 Here is one that I literally just purchased from Narikaa (The send button is still warm ): Here is the gen: Not too shabby for a A Lange rep. Odd that there is that translation error same as on my VC Jubilee 1755. Oh well, works for this dumb American . Is it perfect? No. Is it a nice looking watch? Oh yes :thumbsup: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeap, I've sent a lot of stuff between portugal and the uk (I studied in london for a year) and never had any prblms, so I will give "1st choice" to EU dealers cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
