Hey... That's a beautiful watch and it suits your wrist very well. Is there any mandatory rule of buying history at lange to even put my name on the waiting list or can I put my name as a new customer .

Thanks! When I purchased this piece, it was first purchase from the Lange boutique. First, I think that you should talk to a sale person at a Lange boutique to show your interest and see what they say. Secondly, it might be wise to consider getting a pre-owned piece, and you will for sure get a price that is less than the list price. Good luck!

It was great, thank you! Quite intense - but lots of pics and hands-on experiences to report back on... I picked up the Fears Brunswick in salmon ;)

Wow, that is a stunning piece! Congratulations! I saw that Collective is their AD now for the US market, which should be great for the brand! It must be nice to try on the watch first and then decide to buy it.

I had the exact Odysseus for several months, and, while I agree with you on several points, I ended trading it away! Why? Not pretty enough. The solid end links are unattractive to a fault. I never could get past that. I don’t mind the Teutonic look — I actually have a Lange 1 and it looks great. This was a tough one to trade away and because of all the other value in the piece, I still covet it. Thanks for the review.

Thanks a lot for sharing your experience. I understood what you said about the end links, which were inherited from the bracelet design of the Odysseus steel model. I guess that I just got used to the look. I love the dial and the pusher design very much, so the end links do not bother me. Did you find another sports watch that you love? Take care.

Thanks for the quick pingback. I am actually quite a fan of all things Audemars Piguet Royal Oak. I wear an Offshore and the crown of my collection is an A-series 5402 (although I never let it get wet LOL).

Wow, super nice! I only have seen Royal Oak models owned by my friends. I hope to have a chance to experience these wonderful pieces more extensively in the future! Thanks.
