Impulse Puchase - First Lange

So I stopped by my AD on a slow Thursday to check out a new addition to their pre-owned inventory. I've been waiting for a new lange 1815 up/down in wg, which was probably a few months away, but ended up jumping on this instead. Very excited to have a lange in my collection!

This, back in my days an impulse buy would be a chocolate bar while waiting in line at the supermarket's cash...

Congratulations on that Lange, what a piece!

Great buy. I like the tachymeter scale on the older 1815 Up/Down compared to the latest model. Certainly what I will look for if I have the opportunity to buy and 1815.

Oops, it's the Flyback Chrono (drool)! Not the Up/Down. Even better!

Love the vintage-looking coloration. Very VERY nice. Is it an auto, or manual like the 5170?

Thanks for the compliments everyone! Is the photo upside down? Looks right on my iPad. I guess to clarify, I was planning to buy a bnib 1815 up/down which my AD had on order for me (was expected in December), but I switched to the chrono when it popped up in their pre-owned section. So I guess the impulse was switching to the chrono (which was about the same price as the new up/down) when I saw it yesterday, not buying a lange in general.

Will do a quick write up and post more pics this weekend
