    I took the thread title as a challenge and tried to find a flaw...

    ... I failed. Lovely watch.

    Flawless photo I agree. However, not a flawless watch IMO (e.g. chopped 6 marker, no date, the style of the small seconds hand).

    I agree with the point about the 6 marker, I don't know why manufacturers bother with that nonsense, it always looks rubbish. The other 2 points, nonsense, it's a gorgeous thing. Great photo too.

    I agree with you about the 6, it have been more perfect like this.

    Splendid photo Jocke, surprised at how much better it looks with the cut-off 6 missing.

    However, that's picky beyond belief, it's stunning! White gold or Pt?

    Agree with 6 marker - this an esp. bad example.

    I'd like to see the second hand match the other two.

    Don't mind no date.

    Back after a while. With a bang.
    Don't mind the chopped6 at all.
    Sometimes these small imperfections add to the appeal.

    Stunningly beautiful watch - but I'd prefer no 6. Would they be able to do one and miss this part off the dial?
    It's just a matter of time...

    The 'flaw' with this watch is it looks better in blue (IMO)!!!

    I can totally understand why this Lange sings to you, one of Lange's finest designs (funnily the cut 6 doesn't bother me).

    Don't know about the 6 but that 3 level silver dial is amazing

    Nicely done, Jocke. Looks much better with that slight revision.

    This is sacrilege and we deserve to be punished, but it's fun too.

    Sub seconds moved southward a smidge and seconds hand style changed.

    Please forgive my limited photoshop skills.
    This is the first picture i have posted here so likewise please forgive me if i haven't done it correctly.

    Put the little diamond triangle thing back on the second hand, and then post that design over to Lange for me - as that would be my only other dress watch - to go with a Panoinverse - that Jocke has as well!!

    Actually, I just want the bottom of the 6 removed- all else can stay the same.
    It's just a matter of time...

    Prefer previous positions of sub-dial - it had some symmetry - 15/45s markers meeting the depressed part of main dial.

    Nope, it's a regular WG 1815.

    Good point about the 15 45 marker symmetry.
    I cant help but feel that if the chopped 6 is removed it leaves the sub dial stranded somewhat and you would have to do this:
