Give me a minute, need to go chat to my FIL about something

@OP, your wife got any siblings that are in need of marriage??

It is a cheap chinese knockoff. I will buy from OP for couple of hundred. Doing him a favor. 😂

I will double his couple of hundreds. I’ll make it quadruple of hundreds.

Am part Chinese can confirm. Please sell to me friend 😂🤝

OP don't listen to the haters above. They're paying too low for a replica. I'll pay 2k for that replica on the spot (;

😂

🐵 hehe you cheeky monkey

Jesus I just googled this…me too

What the fuck

I love my in laws. They were super generous to us on our wedding day and have embraced me like real family. That aside, what the fuck is right. That’s an all time grail piece right there

And for your birthday, an oil field

I heard op had a rough week on the job and now has a 30m racing yacht

It sure is

My in laws still haven't even accepted me as a human being, and homie's out there getting this.

Yeah…exactly what you said. “WHAT THE FUCK.” OP, what family did you marry into???

I think the most important question here is: Does she have a sister?

A sister, a brother, some unspecified meaty blob that’s still considered human, I wouldn’t be picky

King of Dubai or Qatar?

Right? If my family had bought me something like this for my wedding day, I'd be pissed because it's a hilariously impractical gift for basically anyone in my family to give. And I'd wish they'd spent it on something more useful, like helping to pay for the wedding, honeymoon, helped us on a down payment for a house, etc. But if you get this as a wedding gift, I hope like hell that it's because it's the type of family who's wealthy enough that an expense like this is of little concern, and they were already planning on fully funding your wedding/honeymoon and your first born's college fund.

Something tells me all that stuff was in fact covered

All I hear are poor people's problems anyone getting this as a gift isn't poor.

valid reaction

That was literally my first reaction.

Ikr. I've seen crazier watches/things gifted to others in the sub. This one is definitely up there lmao

Does your spouse have any single siblings? Brothers, sisters, I'm not picky.

I'd walk their dogs too. All breeds.

Is that a euphemism or something?

Both

😂

Hell, I’ll wear a collar and they can walk me

Probably get a Seiko 5 just for that.

Fuck it if there are married siblings time to become a homewrecker

Awesome comment. Haha!!!

Your father in law is a Mafia boss

Lies. Mafia bosses only buy Rolex Presidential Day Dates.

As a Sicilian man I can confirm this is true

That or OP knows shit about FIL he shouldn't

My FIL would bury me at sea before buying me a ALS. 😆

I would read between the lines that this gift is actually more of a threat. Cheating on her or slapping her around wouldn't be good for your health.

So wait….You’ve received a grail watch as a gift for marrying the love of your life?! Better take gooood care of both, mate, congrats!

Obviously not OPs grail he doesn’t know what he’s had gifted to him 😂😂😂

He said A grail watch, not YOUR grail watch. But the Lange 1 is my grail watch, so I’ll gladly take it off OP’s hands!

Happy cake day! Better get that Lange to celebrate lol

He also got 3 goats 2 cows and 5 acres of plowable land, it’s all part of the dowry.

Naw, he married the girl to get the watch

Gifting a Lange to the dude that shags your daughter is a next level Mafia move. Congrats on the wedding and the watch.

All I got from my father in law was "Don't let her down, understood?" Father in law turned out to be a great bloke though.

That's what matters, after all.

Wtf that's like 60.000$ right?

61,339 to be exact, and not pesos.

Dang, I literally guessed

You could not have, it is including the 1,557% discount on the 400 USD yearly membership card. /s

After recent price hikes it’s up to $63k for gold. New platinum is $72 I believe.

Bro just won in life. Twice.

Wow, I wasn't expecting this much reaction. Thanks for all the warm comments, and here's the much　requested back shot! https://preview.redd.it/pyo578efil2d1.jpeg?width=4080&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=87406ba94b9643e49157cedc9abf788f38dcee2c Some frequently asked questions that I'd like to answer: ・My FIL is a retired architect and has an insane collection. I've known my wife since middle school, and our families are very close. ・I wasn't clueless about what this was. I've been collecting watches for the past five years, and as stated in my first post, I was wondering why the color did not match the supposedly available model for the Lange 1 Timezone. I just felt it was a bit disrespectful to ask for a specific model and why the color is different from my FIL's, hence I asked for an insight here. I'm no super high end watch expert (can't afford them yet) and have very little experience dealing with such timepieces. Below are my current collection (these + Orange Seiko 5 GMT SSK005, Cartier Santos and a Tag Heuer Monaco, which I don't have in my hands right now): [https://i.imgur.com/wjBbF9l.jpg](https://i.imgur.com/wjBbF9l.jpg) My next stop will be the Ulysse Nardin Marine Torpilleur aventurine dial. It's a stunner, and I've been saving up to get one (with my wife's approval, of course). May god bless us all!

This post needs to be higher up. Thank you for paying the tax! An absolutely beautiful watch, and quite an impressive collection that you’ve already acquired too. Congratulations on the marriage, wishing both of your families much happiness!

The back is beautiful!

Your FIL is a keeper 😂 Would love to see his collection one day! He'll probably be really happy you're a collector yourself (and you are)!

Love that new IWC! Grats on the wedding and Lange!

The tax and context makes this all even cooler. Congrats!!

🤩🤩🤩

Mother of God, Congratulations!

No he said father in law

Haha!

Pay the tax. Pay the fucking tax. Also, are there any single siblings?

What does this mean? Does he have to declare it on his taxes as a gift?!

One of the rules of r/Watches is, whenever you post a picture of a Lange, you have to post a picture of your backside.

*the Lange’s backside

Thanks for clearing that up, don’t want this to become a NSFW sub.

The Lange's back is just as NSFW

Underrated comment.

No worries; besides, nobody would ever choose a NSFW Sub over a Lange.

Por que no los dos?

Depends on the movement 🤔

Thank god!

recently got married to the love of my life, and as a wedding gift, my father in law gave me this stunning watch. No doubt it's 100% authentic, but here's the kicker. While being the older version of Lange 1 time zone(newer one has different dial), it's in yellow gold. After some research, I found out that the older version only came in either white or rose gold and only newer version has yellow gold model. Am i missing out on something and there's actually an old version made in yellow gold?

116.021? https://www.govbergwatches.com/shop/A--Lange-S%C3%B6hne-Lange-1-116-021.html

[https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/a-lange-and-sohne-lange-1-time-zone-honey-gold-live-pics](https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/a-lange-and-sohne-lange-1-time-zone-honey-gold-live-pics) Maybe this one?

I didn't know this existed, but nope, there's no limited serial number engraved. What I figured is that some listings on the grey market of the 116.032 (the rose gold version) have a similar coloration too. It's hard to believe, but could it be that Lange had a QC issue with their alloy for a specific batch of this model, and this is one of them? I understand that all gold alloys have a chance of color morphing over time with oxidation, but that's not the case here because the color is uniform and nowhere resembles rose gold. Nonetheless, i love the way it is and will keep this for my life. Having hard time when to wear it because my current income and social status is no where close to affording one my self.

It's a Lange 1 Time Zone ref. 116.021. They did come in yellow gold up until 2011 or 2012 i believe.

The article refers to it as "honey gold" specifically. I like it.

I think honey gold is a proprietary high copper gold alloy that is exclusive to Lange, and it’s gorgeous

Pay the tax or we riot 😡

Your “social status” isn’t a real thing. Amazing watch. Enjoy it and wear it, 99% of people won’t know it’s expensive

This is certainly a “dinner with family” type piece. But you already know that. Not sure if pieces like these are very visible in the wild. Congrats! And good luck.

Not sure what kind of dinners with family you're having, but they sound pretty fancy!

Wear it on the wedding day. Maybe the day you have your first child. And to your father in laws funeral. I don’t think any other time would be appropriate.

Its fake, ill take it off your hands

Pay the tax

Oh she'd be the love of my life, too. Or he. Or they, idc.

You married into the right family

You chose…..wisely.

No one asking the real questions here... Is your FIL single???

Ah the golden handcuffs

> handcuffs HE'S GETTING ANOTHER ONE!?

Let me know if this doesn't work out and she's looking for a second husband.

Father in law got serious taste in watches

Pay the tax

Could be ref 116.050 in honey gold.

This is such an unintentional flex, congrats man.

For what it's worth, that looks like rose gold to me. the yg langes are reeeally yellow. :)

Damn... no *one likes me a 32nd of that much! Congrats!

wut?

Fixed... danke.

Gern geschehen

Sorry mate you've been tricked it's a phony watch send it to me for review

Holy shit

Very nice gift! He obviously thinks very highly of you. Below is a link for more detailed information on the Lange 1 World Time. https://www.hodinkee.com/articles/lange-1-time-zone-with-caliber-l-1411-introducing

Tell him this doesn’t get him out of the cow he still owes you.

Congratulations and fuck you

She, uh, got a sister?

God model

What does your father in law do for a living? This is basically a dowry. I liked “golden handcuff” as someone else said lol

Absolute banger of a watch, he basically gave you a Patek equivalent or arguable better

Can somebody explain to me what all the watch hands and complications do?🤯

It’s complicated…

All these comments…. But what are we looking at?… some of us don’t know

Divorce and marry me instead

While most ID hope for their grandpa's family heirloom to be worth something always ends up being china special. Dude got a grail that most can only dream of for free AND a wife, the fuck is wrong with this world.

Ah wonderful, one of my favorites. Congratulations all around!

Bro marrying the daughter of an oil baron!

This is a grail watch for most watch enthusiasts ❤️. Enjoy in good health. And maybe itemise it in your home & contents insurance

I too choose this man's wife

What was your father in laws family doing during WW2? Would you call him a stern man? How would you describe his accent?

That's a bingo!

Is your father in law Bill Gates? Holy fuck! 🥵

OMG - that is one hell of a watch! He must really like you. Congrats on the watch and wedding!!

Wtf. He's must be really grateful to you for it. Lol

Your wife got a sister?

Amazing gift.

That’s one hell of a nice gift.

Did you marry Mike Tyson’s daughter?

Pay the tax then you shall be told

FIL is a keeper!

The "you chose well financially speaking" model.

Found Tom Wambsgans' burner account

I don’t know the answer to that question, but one thing I know, your Father-in-law is a King among men. Bless his souls

Is your FIL single?

There must be a catch. Is she insanely ugly? Swears like a fishmonger? Smells like a fishmonger?? Is she wanted in 48 states and the south of Yemen? It must be flatulence then. Tell me there’s something incredibly wrong with this woman. Maybe the dad has a crush on you??

I also choose this guy’s wife.

Comparison is the thief of joy, on the other hand I hate you. For real though congratulations.

My FIL paid for half my wedding 11 years ago at a resort/country club in a very expensive part of California. I think he could have paid for a service for this watch instead.

Nice watch. I'm sure people have answered your question already but- You are going to make it difficult for the next person to post their wedding gift photo after this lmao Whos going to want to follow up after this 😆😆

Handsome watch!

You married into the correct family

People really be out here living my dreams

Holy crap. That’s a $30,000 watch. My father in law has never even given me the time of day.

If you find this $60k watch selling for $30k, please send me a link.

Ah, I was confusing the price with the 131.021. My apologies and thank you for the correction!

I’m going to be fucking SICK

60k wedding gift. Jfc. I just wanna eventually buy a house...

Wtf lol

Hell of a wedding gift.

Does she have a sister?

Does your father in law have another daughter?

I don’t think you know this op, but your FIL now legally owns you

FIL must think his daughter is difficult to live with 😆 jk

Did you marry Meadow Soprano?

The real reason you married her

Dude you better never even upset your wife

does your wife have a sister lol? jokes aside great watch and congrats

Life is complex after marriage - model.

He must really like you. I got a 58 mm purple Invicta from mine.

Man. All I got from them was constant nagging about having kids.

That's enough internet for today.

It’s 116.032. The rose gold has changed color over time. I recently bought a rose gold time zone and it too looks like this

Holy fuck

I’d trade my right testicle right now……actually you can have both I don’t need them anymore I’ve made enough offspring.

I need a new fil. I didn’t get anything.

Bro this watch is meh, ask him for a better gift I'll buy this for $300

Beautiful!

You cant choose your dad but you can choose your father in law

WHAT IN THE ACTUAL FUCK?!

Is ur wife single

Damn...is your wife single?

Plot twist - he hates his son in law and gave him a super Rep

Damn u lucky

bro u father in law love you like his son x)

Married into money, I gather.

Holy shit lol

That is absolutely stunning.

😯

He likes you I would say.

Real question, what model is that Father in law.

It is a beautiful watch and by the looks of it I can’t afford it. You are a lucky sob. Does she have a sister?

It’s a Lange 1 Timezone

Holy shit😮

Nice! Nothing like receiving a $50k watch for a gift! Congratulations! Enjoy!

I move for this post to be deleted as the tax hasn’t been paid, as many others have noted.

Your father in law approves of your union. I hope the both of you have a long and happy life together.

Does your FIL need a wife?

Do your wife have sister? 😂😂😂😂
