You have excellent taste!

Next time you send that watch to Lange for servicing, you might consider having Lange swap your crystals (or at least the front crystal) for one with antireflective coating. Lange typically didn't use AR-coated crystals on their MOP (and other guilloche) dials, which is a real shame. Bad decision, in my opinion. Those MOP guilloche dials look far better through AR-coated crystals, with very little glare.

Here are some relevant pics. Bottom pic shows gold guilloche dials, not MOP, but you can see how the reflection of a compact fluorescent bulb looks in an AR vs. non-AR Lange crystal.
