Picked up the Copper Blue today to join my other entry level watches from different makers. Stunning dial in the metal

Gorgeous!

Must say I have a bit of an issue with the whole 'entry-level' shtick. They're just wonderful timepieces, full-stop, and many of us like simple three handers the best.

No date, two-three handers are rapidly becoming my jam. Love the collection! Have any additional shots of the Urwerk?

Yeah, the whole 'entry-level' comment was in reference to the CS (in particular) getting panned for inferior finish work in another thread. I certainly don't have an inferiority complex since I wear them for my own enjoyment. Thanks for the kind words!

Thank you very much! Here is another shot of the Urwerk. I have always loved their approach, but didn't find them very practical. The UR-100 is really comfortable and can easily be worn on a daily basis

One thing I admire about A. Lange & Söhne is that they don't seem to do entry level. From what I've seen, the least expensive pieces are built and finished just as nicely as the higher end ones. This is not the case with all brands.

Congratulations with the purchase, that's a very nice collection.

I agree about Lange, but surely this should be the case throughout the industry.

Ha Ha all depends on your definition of entry level. Congratulations! I had the opportunity to see the Lange Copper dial in person and it's truly incredible. The detail and depth really needs to be see to be appreciated.

there's nothing entry-level about these three watches.......they're just simple, three hands type of watches

congrats on your new acquisition~

Thanks for all the nice comments. I used the term "entry level" since each is from the line of base models for each manufacturer.

The Copper Blue is really special. It's so hard to capture the beauty of the dial in photos and it's easy to see why it is so difficult to make. It fits perfectly in the "special evening out" category.

The UR-100 is really cool. I wanted something that displayed time in an unorthodox way and this fit the bill perfectly. The finish of the Iron is nice and a departure from their usual case finish, but I love how the orange contrasts with the black.

The FPJ is a rose gold Chronometre Souverain with gold dial. It's a great piece that can be dressed up or down.

what a great way to step into "entry level" lol. As my watch taste have evolved really liking some of the urwerk designs. They just bring something a little different to the table from what I currently own.
