Incoming! My First Lange

I can’t believe it’s taken me this long to get an ALS, but here it is: The Saxonia Thin in WG with the Copper Blue dial. IMO it’s a solid value in this market at 1/4th of a Journe CB and gives a similar feel on the wrist. The dial is amazing and looks even better in person. One of the few Lange’s where the dial is the star of the show for sure.

Wait, is it 1/4 of the MSRP of the Journe CB or 1/4 of the market value of the Journe CB?

I can never tell since the MSRP for Journe isn't widely publicized

It’s around $4k cheaper than the CB at retail I think

Great first choice! It's a fantastic dial, definitely worth the price of admission.

Realy nice watch! Thinking of adding one as well. Did you change straps? I always see this model with the glossy strap.

I was fortunate to buy this watch at an AD. They are already selling over retail in Asia, and it is a 12 month wait in the US now I've heard. The dial is difficult to make by my understanding. I've requested a little lange moonphase with the same dial, but there is no timetable or ability to order for the same reasons regarding difficulty of production. Great pick up and I agree, tremendous value!
