Angle finishing

Some more to share.
In addition:
- It's much more difficult to finish (angle part) the bridges on 240 because they are very thin and (relatively) big. The improper (or say over) angling could cause shape change of the bridges.
- Lange's German silver based movements are easier to finish to a higher level. For two reasons: bridges much thicker, the nature of German silver.
- I respect the earlier Lange "one movement one watch" way, but it could only be possible in the past. Lange didn't have a big collection. Lange didn't produce many watches. Lange didn't have (or didn't expect) an increasing large amount of service watches that will come in the years to go. The current Lange practice, change the bridge size to enlarge the existing movement, causes the disproportion of bridges layout. For these movements (e.g. the one for enlarged 1815, new Saxonia, Lange 1, etc.), I'd better have the original smaller ones.
