New Rolex Pepsi under 200x magnification!

This is a really cool video. These guys put a brand new Pepsi, Grand Seiko, and an A. Lange & Sohne chronograph under a microscope at 200x magnification and look at markers, lume application, the hands, dials, bezel, etc. The A. Lange & Sohne movement is just a work of art under magnification!

And you think some members here are a little anal? Ha ha! Enjoy.

Thanks for sharing.
Very nice video with a clear winner:
Lange & Söhne

Not to forget, the watch prices are different.

No kidding. Just amazing attention to detail and that movement is incredible. For $105,000 I'm not surprised!

Beautiful. Proof that there is no obvious way to tell that A Lange & Sohne isn't made by aliens.

Do you think they didn't know about the LEC; I can't imagine they left that out for a reason!!!

Wow... hard to beat the detail on the GS for the money. I'm glad I never paid over msrp for a new Rolex. ALS is in a league all its own.

Great video and magnification. Lange was the winner, Grand Seiko is incredible, to Rolex defense, it was a used watch provided by a friend when they showed pitting on the clasp/bracelet.

Same here

Nothing against them of course, but I’ve never been into haute horology. To my eye with no magnification the Rolex is perfect for what I need and the easiest one to read.
