Passing the quarantine time with some macro shots
I'm quarantining myself from the family because I've finally succumbed to COVID after years of somehow avoiding it. Day 4 and still strongly positive though the worst symptoms have passed thank god.
Anyway, here are some photos for you to enjoy.
First, here's a normal shot. Real hard to accurately portray it in pics, but this is the closest I can get. The hands are very easy to read and the open worked face with the gear train showing is usually not very distracting.
Shot of the top portion - the logo and name is printed on the underside of the crystal. A partial dial shows a simple guilloché for some texture.
Heres a shot with the shadow of the name in focus. Quite cool to see this effect. It's similar to the studio underdog field watch's numerals.
Shot of the month disc. You can see each month clearly when you zoom in or in certain lighting, but usually all of these cluttered details strangely don't come into focus.
Moving to the bottom of the dial, the photo realistic moonphase.
The little crescent shaped hand points to the date.
A shot of the dauphine hands. Really well polished on side to reflect even the tiniest bit of light and frosted/media blasted-kinda look.
Sharp tips!
Movement side. Gold rotor, nice Maltese cross.
Geneva stripes
You can see a bit of the Geneva seal on the left there.
And here's the Maltese cross style pin bucket with some very visible scratches! When the heck did I do that?? But it doesn't look at bad with normal eyes.
Thanks for reading/scrolling! Maybe I should get a proper camera, macro lens, light box, and tripod 🤔
Avid watch wearer, not collector. Like my children, I love all of my watches equally, but I love my Lange the best.
Sorry to hear that. Remember to wipe down every watch you touched during your quarantine, just to be safe.
Hope you’ll be fully recovered soon 💪🏻!
Great watch, great pics.

Good point, but I think viruses can only live in metal/non porous surfaces for not so long. Will do anyway just in case
Hope you’ll be fully recovered soon 💪🏻!
Great watch, great pics.
Thanks x2! Covid is just another but these days, but it's roaring back here in Singapore.

Same in Malaysia.
Brrr! Scary!

32k in Singapore right now! Mini-wave.
Nice pics! Get well soon!

Thanks man. Hope you're enjoying your hols!
Definitely a watch that deserves to be shown off.
Sorry to hear you finally got Covid. Welcome to the survivors’ club.
Though being totally vaxed and boosted, my wife and I both succumbed last April. In my case it was bad for a day then rapidly subsided. My wife got sinusitis from having Covid and that lasted longer. IMHO, and experience, the flu (got that also despite having the latest flu shot) was worse than COVID.
Glad you are doing well and pulled through. Thanks for the pictures.

Appreciate the words. I was boosted as well and still got it fairly badly. Imagine without the booster, geeze.
End of day 4 now and I feel almost back to normal though still testing positive. It's strange how quickly it passes, you're right about it subsiding rapidly.
Om the bright side, I was able to take some pics and catch up on Netflix! Six feet deep is a great show!
Glad you're feeling better, brother! Here's to a speedy recovery! 🍻
Oh, and thanks for the pics, very impressive watch!

Cheers! Unfortunately will have to WFH tomorrow now that I feel mostly better. Hah.
Sorry to hear you’re sick. Hope you feel better soon. Great way to spend the time.
Same here, 4th day positive. Simptomps preety much over, hopefuly another day or two and back to normal life. Stay safe.
Quick healing to ya! Thanks for all these beautiful photos.

I once heard a talking head say that everybody would eventually get Covid and then it would be over. Sorry to hear it hit you worse than me. Isolating wasn’t so bad and I did get a chance to catch up on yardwork while feeling better but still testing positive. Never saw anybody outside as everybody was off at work. I’m happily retired.
I ramble.
Feel better and keep taking excellent pictures.

Great news. I'm 5th day and sore throat still pretty strong. I did two virtual meetings and it drained me..

Yeah, COVID is like the flu. Everyone will get it eventually. It's just too transmissible.
Sounds like you live in a house and good to get out and move around!
great pix! Something to do when stuck at home 👍. Still no Covid for me (despite me working in an ICU 😮!)
Lots of tiny details on that watch. Curious: Does the VC movement finishing match the standards of ALS or your top shelf Moser perpetual?
I hope you were wearing a mask! Wouldn't want that gorgeous VC coming down with COVID 😜
And I hope you're feeling better!

I thought I was special being resistant to COVID, but maybe you're the real deal!
The finishing on the movement is very nice, but Lange is on a half step higher level. The very high end independents are way above Lange if you can believe that with larger buttery bevels, sharp inward or outward angles of bevels, more fine graining.

Hah. I'm all good now just in time for the holidays!

For a person whose exposed way more than average (owing to my job) I’m weirdly immune it seems 🤷♂
Lucky on that front I guess. One of my athletic buddies caught “long COVID” and he’s gone from athlete to octogenarian 😢🤯
