Hands-On: With The New A. Lange & S?hne 1815, Downsized To 38.5mm For 2014
Much of the attention given to A. Lange & S?hne focuses on its more complicated watches, like the Pour le M��rite Tourbillon, the Zeitwerk, and even the Grand Complication, but Lange knows how to do simplicity too. At SIHH 2014, Lange released an updated version of the classic time-only 1815 in a smaller 38.5mm case, available in yellow, pink, and white gold. The new 1815 retains many of the design features of its predecessor and will be produced alongside the old 1815 instead of replacing it. Here's a hands-on look at this more classically-sized version of the 1815. 2 OF 6 Last year A. Lange & S?hne updated the 1815 Up/Down, but this release differs in two major ways: 1) The 2013 1815 Up/Down was 3mm larger than its predecessors, jumping from 36mm to 39mm and 2) The new 39mm 1815 Up/Down replaced the 36mm version of the watch. With the new 38.5mm 1815, Lange has actually reduced the case size by 1.5mm but opted to produce both versions of the watch side-by-side, allowing

A Story of Betrayal
I've always considered myself a Royal Oak purist and felt that I could never betray my love for the 39mm original Royal Oak. Well, I was wrong. I just received this gorgeous 15400 and couldn't be happier. This watch is something else in person. Excuse the iPhone pics. More to come.

Are the parts on the 2500 and the 1120 interchangable?
Digging around in my parts box I found two 2500b, one 1120, and a couple 2892 a2 movements.I know all are derivatives of the 2892, Do many parts interchange? Can i drop off the pile to an expert and get a couple working movements? Assuming the needed parts are functional.I'd rather reclaim a couple instead of parting out the lot.
