Went to the London boutique yesterday....

After months of waiting finally managed to see an Odyssey. The watch looks much better in the metal.
Unfortunately the arduous but necessary precautions they take made it impossible to try it on my wrist. You see they offer one use rubber gloves which are tiny, I barely managed to put it on with lots of excess hanging through the fingertips ..
The sales chap said so long as the watch doesn’t touch my skin I can try it but it was impossible as the miniature rubber gloves don’t stretch that far 🤣🤣
Also I wonder what would happen if you are allergic to rubber ... at least Patek gives you the microfibre ones which are less tactile but comfy..
I took a photo of it as a memory as unless you are a Lange client you are not eligible to purchase one
I must admit I really like this timepiece

No love or hate. The GP Laureato that posted today, is another story. Maybe not high finished like ALS, but in your words, it sing to me.

My friend will get one in January and it will be his first Lange. But then again, the Lange by Wempe in London do say many strange things. The last time I was there I wanted to buy a watch for my wife but they told me she had to pay for it as the buyer pa...
That's interesting! I wonder if your friend...

... was previously known to Wempe in London -- if he had bought other things from Wempe in London, or if they knew he was your friend -- or if he was able to order an Odysseus as a stranger to Wempe who just walked in off the street.
Ah, I see, thanks. I'd have the same question...

Is your friend already known to the German dealer who is selling it to him (for example, as a previous customer or as a referral from a big customer)? Or was your friend a stranger to the dealer before he bought the Odysseus? I ask because I'm curious if ...
Hahaha! They lost they’re mind...

Whoever wants one can have mine, I disagree with this policy, and I don’t like the watch either ))
Not my cup of tea

with the subsidiary seconds hand and day function. Not a sport configuration to me my liking. Good thing as I could not get one anyway as supply is so limited. I do believe the Lange build quality makes this a special watch to those who like the dial setu...
as a lange client...

I have to say that all this is going to far (from all top brands). If you are a client you can't have this..you can't have that unless you are approved by X and Y. Is not even fun anymore! Luckily I bought a many watches before all this dramatic approach....
I am with you on this ..

It is the watch retailers version of the « casting couch » 🤣🤣
This watch has been on and off my list

I fell in love with the new release in WG and instantly added it to my bucket list. The other watch in consideration is an ivory dial WG or PT Rolex Day Date 41 which can be priced lower or the same when buying in the grey market. Both have the same compl...
