Got a dent on my Lange...
Breaks my heart - this guy is only six months old.
Should I bring it to Lange boutique? Curious to how much it will cost or be covered by the warranty...

Dents are not covered by warranty, obviously.

Sorry to hear. I remember the "agony" (in relative terms) to get it... Hopefully, if it is not large enough you may get over it.

The WG can't be welded? Learn something new every day around these parts.

It can be, but it might need to be fully polished in order to get the rhodium layer off and then get a new rhodium layer. I'm not sure if it can be seamlessly applied to just one area.

It's not a dent, it's character and battle scars!
