My new Lange Grande (?) - critique and movement type please????

[the_villain]

Hi guys,

I don't know if I'm taking advantage of your good nature or not by posting two watches for review in the same day, if so, I apologise. Anyway, I bought this from a website taobao, as I live in China and am too far away from guangzhou to make it worthwhile trekking down there for a proper watch hunt.

Can you please give me a critique and advise what kind of movement we're looking at with this. And also, whether it's worth the 900rmb (£90) I paid for it. Basically, I really want to know whether or not it's a piece of junk!

Many thanks, pictures below!!!

Just a quick reply, here is the a link to the watch from a TD.

Looks nice but measurements suggests its a big watch! Not sure how it compares to a gen or whether its a fantasy watch. The A21J is a fairly reliable movement and is consistent with that price point.

Seems like a really neat watch for the price. Enjoy it!

I was really thinking to get one of these, seems like a great dress watch for the price. How is yours holding up mate?

I don't think A. Lange & Sohne displays the days of the week like that. I think it's supposed to be the power reserve. I like the looks a lot and I'm considering this one. Can you tell me if everything works or if it's faux? Does the button on the side control the date or the mon-sun? Sorry for dead thread reply...just taking a shot.

original is 38.5mm i think. this 44mm is too big, but by itself it is a beautiful watch (not comparing to gen)

i did see a gen of that in some hodkinkee video. 38mm if i recall, looks good at that price point.
