A. Lange & Sohne Factory Trip Part 2: The Luxury German Watch Manufacturing Process
Mysteries are things you can't unravel in your mind. Knowledge of origin is key to dispelling an enigma, and the pathway to appreciation. You can't have passion for something you don't really understand. I began my love of watches ignorant of what went into making most watches. True timepiece appreciation can only come when you really know what goes into constructing watches. It gives you the ability to evaluate the high quality from the mainstream, and foresight to look beyond the dial.This article is the second part of my A. Lange & Sohne Germany trip discussion. It has taken me longer to get to writing this than I would have preferred, but it has given me time to lets these facts ruminate. In the part I article covering my trip I left off talking about the history of the brand and describing the watch making region.

Just saw this watch for the first time. And I have to say - as a formal dress calatrava I like what I see. It is an enamel dial - which from my understanding is usually reserved for the much pricier pieces... (Correct me if wrong).

So a crazy thing happened at a Rolex A.D. in Ottawa
Hi all, Went to pick up my 1680 Red Sub from an A.D. finally ready from being serviced after 9 weeks; they still have their own factory trained techs on site with quite a labratory. Not sure if I am allowed to mention names, so I won't, but I have to say they did a fantastic job. Well after picking up the watch, I decided to put a deposit on a brand new GMT BLNR! I was so nervous that my 1680 I had picked up began to feel very tight on my wrist, LOLThat being said, I guess I'll be able to start posting in The General Discussion section as well very soon! There is no promise date, but they believe the watch should be available by May 2018, which is fine with me.Cheers everyone
