Is the worst and the best thing you could have in an ALS at the same time, given rarity and finish of the movement.

I agree...

The solid caseback is both tempting and restrained in a sort of rebel way. Metally more pleasing than visual. Thank you for respond!

The same

101.005 ...  

Is this in yellow gold?

To my knowlegde the refrences with solid yellow gold caseback are: 101.001, 101.002, 101.011 and the 151.001. Last reference comes with an integrated solid gold bracelet.

Thank you! [nt]

Yes, the Lange 1 has become the brands' classic. Though....

I think that the more general opinion is that you should be able to see the movement in an A. Lange & Söhne watch.

Thank you,

The strap is not worn too much, but seem dry. Maybe some leather/alligator treatment would do it good.

Perhaps! Looks good to me. I was referring to the grain of the alligator on your strap...

Lange used that smaller grain on its older straps, and the larger, more rectangular "bamboo tile" grain on later straps.
