WATCH POP

Hi, I have an L1 Stealth that happened to meet up with the pointed edge of a granite countertop in my parents home over xmas vacation. The feeling of having a dagger go through my heart is the only way to describe the episode and my watch has suffered an even more unsightly injury. The dings are about .5 mm and look like scratches on the bezel and lug but they are deep and not superficial. Any help or suggestions from anyone suffering throught this would be much appreciated (polishing platinum, sending it back to Germany, etc.). Happy holidays! (thanks for your e-mail btw)
If it really is bothering you (that) much, I suggest you send it back to Germany; but if that isn't the case, why not wait until your stealth is due for service? It can be taken care of at the factory. In fact, many of us met the gentleman who does case polishing for Lange during our recent visit to the workshops. I thanked him for the wonderful work he had done for me and he shrugged it off by saying "it is my job"! Nevertheless, he did superb work and I am sure will make your watch's case look like new. he has a technique of adding metal - platinum or appropriate gold to the ding, with a laser soldering technique...one witnessed by some of us, and absolutely amazing! Poof, a flash of light, and some platinum is added to the ding. Next step, polishing and viola! as good as new...(almost, I think)...:-) I was the one most fortunate to watch Thomas perform the laser filling technique, and it was incredible to watch. Prior to joining Lange Thomas was a jeweler in Dresden, thus the work he does on cases is just masterful.
Kindest regards to all,
Charlie
