A. Lange & Söhne

Now I need to decide if I will be getting an Oddyseus or a Triple Split with the allocation they give me. I think it’s absurd I just can’t get both, but that’s the world we live in. ...  

If I want both I need to order another piece.

Exclusivity, limit the number of pieces that go on the gray market, limit the number of people that buy from ADs, limit the number of discounts customers get. It’s possible that they can no longer make enough pieces to satisfy both boutique and AD demand ... 

telling you what you can and can't have is absurd.

Cute to see Lange play hard to get. Won’t last IMO.

This new requirement may work for Lange. We all know Lange makes a wonderful watch. And well people want what they can't have that's just human nature. Personally, I would much rather add another Lange than an AP jumbo or a FP Journe CB at there current m... 

I recently bought a ZW date, a decided on the Odysseus. I wonder if I should’ve gotten the TS. Don’t forget the L1 QP Salmon too!

It is a technical marvel and will most likely not be attempted by other brands IMHO due to the complexity involved. This will hence be a forever rare piece and A.Lange & Sohne will ensure its exclusivity in numbers as well. MY recommendation would be ... 

Would stay away from this - mine was a dog!

Definitely the Triple Split.

...  

Pretend that the steel Odysseus Datomatic and the Triple Split were not application pieces, and that anyone without a prior purchase history could walk into a Lange boutique (and ideally a Lange AD!) and buy one of these. Would the steel Datomatic and the... 

I got the deployant buckle, it’s a heavy watch and I am clumsy. The triple split is definitely my favorite of the three, its a very impressive piece when seen up close. My hesitation in getting it is cash flow, while I can afford the watches dropping 190K... 

Compared to something like the TS, the Datomatic is practically free! I tried on the TS a few weeks ago. I have a small wrist but thought it was a really nice watch: ...  

It is stunning, the color combination, caseback.

...  

I had both the ZW Date and the Triple Split. Decided to sell the TS because of reliability issues. The movement would work true to function one day then the next the split second would not return to correct point to match that of the second hand. This wou...  

Thank you, helps me keep things in perspective.

I thought this would have been quite a simple fix and part of the warranty work itself. Did you send it for service and did it recur again or did you decide that you would rather sell instead of getting it fixed?

Given the watch was a like new set I had no confidence this was a unique problem. My experience with ALS did not give me much confidence either... The boutique showed little interest and at this price point left a bad taste. I honestly think they have yet... 

A.Lange & Sohne is very unlikely to release a super-complication as the Triple Split into the market without putting it through testing rigor. While you took the call as an owner to sell it based on your good judgement, I do feel that a quick service at t... 

Plus the fact they made another 100 units made it no longer feel special.

I would advise against this unless you're sure that you will never buy another Lange after the steel OD. Lange (like other brands) has made it clear that they won't continue to sell "application pieces" to known flippers. I was advised that if a person bu... 

I genuinely like the Oddyseus and have placed an order for it. I am also planning on getting a DP, that should open the door for a future application piece if I am interested.
