Incoming - very picture heavy...

Good morning folks :)

Finally after waiting a good 6 months, it's finally here!

I'm super excited and grateful to be able to acquire this watch.

This definitely feels like a "big boy" watch compared to my existing collection

Can't wait to rock this with my suits to the office...

For those of you interested in my journey to acquire this piece, see post below:

Now enough talking - here are the pics, enjoy

To accommodate my baby size wrist, the AD offered to swap the normal strap with a shorter one free of charge

Some goodies I received while waiting for my 1815 AC...

A loupe and moon cakes to celebrate the mid-autumn festival.

The moon cake came in a Terra-luna movement presentation box which had a "functioning" moon phase. You can shift the centre disc to show the gold moon "moving". Pretty neat

If you happen to be in Sydney, I recommend hitting up Delwyn Dass (WoS Sydney Boutique Manager) for your next Lange purchase.

He was great to deal with, professional and very patient with me as I worked my way through to picking the 1815 AC as my first and hopefully not my last Lange

Have a great weekend everyone :)

Such a great watch! Looks amazing! The 1815 is one my favorites from Lange... the numerals are perfection.

Thank you all for your kind words :)

Re: why i didn't consider the saxonia AC, I didn't like the thicker lugs and the way it looked on my wrist but nonetheless it's a nice watch too.

Beautiful 1815 AC! Still dreaming on my first Lange - 1815 Chronograph Black Dial.

Wear the watch in good health. Congrats!
