1815 Manual Wind 233.032 - 2 different reps

[majwilliams0308]

So I'm a big fan of this model, and probably going to bite soon on this, but I found two different models in the rep world, and I wanted to help folks out.

Here's the original:
1815 Manual Wind 233.032
40mm x 8.9mm
28800bph
~$20k

There are 2 replicas, and one is definitely inferior to the other, but it's a bit cheaper.

Here's, in my opinion, the inferior one:

Classic Regulator RG White Dial Number Markers on Leather Strap A17J
Size: 44mm x 12.5mm
Movement Asian 17J manual handwind movement - 21600vph
Case: 18K rose-gold plated solid 316L stainless steel case
Crystal: sapphire crystal
Dial: White Dial Number Markers
Clasp: Tang buckle
Incorrect rear markings/gear assembly
$258

Overall rep quality: 6.5-7/10. Just too many glaring issues with the movement and movement decoration for me.



Here's the other one, which is, in my opinion, the best we'll get:

Classic Regulator MK Best Edition RG White Dial Number Markers Sec@6 on Black Leather Strap A88275
Size: 40.5mm x 11mm
Movement: New A. Lange & Sohne 88275 Movement Clone. Base Movement: Asian 2824 movement at 28800vph; Decoration: Platinum plated movement plate and rotor which are made according to the genuine movement, the best looking A. Lange & Sohne 88275 Movement Clone at the moment.
Case: 18K rose gold plated Solid 316 stainless steel case
Crystal: Sapphire crystal
Dial: White Dial Number Markers
Clasp: Tang Buckles
$288

Here's a side by side comparison:

Overall rep quality - 8-8.5/10 in my book. The balance wheel is in the wrong place, some of the engravings are definitely in the wrong place, and the seconds hand doesn't really look the same. Also the seconds sub-dial isn't as 'shiny'. The hands are the same blued steel, the pics don't show it well is all.

The dial looks nothing like the gen dial. Consider the datograph - even if it´s different from gen (size) and the movement is a bit more complicated it´s a fantastic looking rep.

Which TD are you getting these from? Probably the best reps I've seen.

Anyone has experienced this one?

Seems different than the 2 mentioned in this post.

The movement doesn't look amazing but the writing on the dial looks correct.

For me the big issue with the better of the 2 above is the writing of SOHNE on the dial with too much space between the S and the O then the O and the H.

I never ordered that one because it's 42mm. that's really big for a Lange IMO, and a dress watch at that. If they would reproduce that in a 40mm size, that would have been the superior rep IMO.
