Hello everyone, are there any white dial A Lange & Sohne Lange 1 rep available?

Also interested in black dial Datograph preowned.

I read that searching under Glashutte has brought results for some

There are some really bad Lange1 replica as low quality replicas (on DHGate for example).

But you should avoid it since they have to modify the dial arrangement to fit the available cheap movements.

For this reason, it looks quite bad (besides the finish quality itself).

Sorry, I would also love to see a Lange1 or a Glasshute Panolunar with the right dial arrangement but REP factories don't have the right movement to this correctly. Even the high quality Panolunar are bad when it comes to the date size and position...

You are absolutely right. Also every be aware of certain Turkish sellers on Etsy using video and photos from watchbox to sell ALS. I wonder what they actually send if anything. I raised the point with Etsy and never received a response.

Yeah, But THAT is too good to be a REP? Or where did you get it? Thanks!
It’s a rep! It’s being sent to me from Thailand. I asked if they had anymore, since I figured others here would be interested but was told no, just the one.

Hopefully, you will get what was shown. Is it preowned hence from Thailand?
I have had a middleman reach out from China regarding a Datograph made new, but I am hesitant.
Just doesnt make sense to have 1 made even though the seller has supplied a passport photo and live video of themselves.

Photos of a datograph, but not of the actual piece. I was told that it would be made to order. Do the Chinese do that? I always thought to tool up and make they needed a minimum number.

I was told that the factory had made the Datograph and the cost would be $580.

I was cc in on another customer who had ordered a different piece as an example of the process.
Notwithstanding, I'm hesitant

You should be. Doubtful a watch would ever materialize after you paid.
If it does materialize, it won’t be anything like what you’re expecting.

There was a scammer on DHGate who sent actual pictures of a Datograph. I had him adjust the date and time to specific time and date. lol So clearly working at an ALS Boutique or with someone who was.

Received the first of two… Not my favorite dial face, we’ll see if I get used to it. 😂
