New watch on Puretime

I've always been wanting a decent copy of this watch.
Anyone have one by any chance?
This version looks a lot better than what's been out there.

Nice watch....would like to know more myself! Anyone know how it compares to the real thing?

Some photos of the gen can be found here:

There's also a nice review of the gen:

One obvious difference is that the gen is 40mm, and this replica is 44mm, which sounds huge for a dress watch, particularly one that is almost all dial. There also the non-functional swan neck regulator on the replica, but otherwise the 3/4 plate on the replica looks okay. For people who are familiar with the Lange brand, the movement in the display caseback isn't going to fool them. In particular, it lacks the characteristic gold chatons.

Are you sure that's the gen to the linked rep? The dial is totally different besides the secs @ 6. It would basically make the rep a fantasy.

I see what the issue is, the dial comes from the 40mm Lange Grand Saxonia Automatic, which has an automatic microrotor movement, so there's a sense in which the replica is a fantasy, since it combines the dial of the Lange Grand Saxonia, and attempts to approximate the movement of the Lange 1815. There's also a manual wind version of the Saxonia, but it's a 37mm watch.

The dial looks like a reasonable replication of the Lange Grand Saxonia's dial.

This is a photo of the automatic microrotor movement in the Lange Grand Saxonia Automatic.

Damn, I really like this watch. I was looking at the Saxonia before, but the movement looked horrendous. The movement in this one also looks nothing like the gen, but at least it looks nice.
