Sales associate told me to buy Lange 1 moonphase and get the odysee allocation… I couldn’t believe that they are now openly offering or asking you to buy one get another piece …

Well, their arrogance might start to fall back to them …

… as demand might slow down due to multiple crisis. Given their behavior during the last years I hope that they get a very big hit in the time to come, have to change their arrogant management and re-start with a more customer oriented approach.
It sounds like Rolex

But i read many times ALS owners have difficulties with off set hands, date troubles. Rolex problems? Very rare. So be arrogant and the watches are not as good Rolex made watches, arrogance will not go on forever. In my opinion, i never liked the design o...
Agree 💯

The allocations are a lie

I was told I would get one if I bought a Zeitwerk and then was told "nah" This was directly from a Lange boutique. I even had messages saved. They really do not care about their customers. I even bought *before* Lange went way up in value... Now I spend m...
Did you get a Zeitwerk??

It’s an amazing piece, but it should also absolutely allow you an Odysseus. But it shouldn’t be a prerequisite, no.

It’s a Lange direct hire staff
By: Horology75 : September 24th, 2023-19:30
And in my experience the staff does not even breathe without the consent of the management . Typical richemont style

The odyssey you need to embark upon to get to where you want.
To be honest ...

I never understood the allure of the Odysseus line. I'm sure that they are very well-built in typical Lange style, but for me, Lange 1/Dato/Zeit/RL etc. are much more horologically interesting.🤷 Just my personal opinion ... no offense intended to any Ody ...

Ugh…

Not a fan of this sales tactic. It’s like Rolex all over again. Not a good look for ALS
This has been happening for a long time

I've had many encounters with people who were told to buy one or more dress watches to obtain the chance to buy an Odysseus. I've seen demands for over $300,000 in qualifying purchases to obtain recent limited edition models. That's a great reason to go a...

I lost the desire for Lange long ago.
By: MilDiver : September 25th, 2023-04:07
There are so many great watches, to enjoy. Let them keep their watches for the shareholders of Richemont...
I'm an Outlier...
By: David Allen : September 25th, 2023-19:34
But I appreciate it when a company is transparent (assuming they honor their word). If more watch retailers would lay out a clear plan for you to acquire your end-goal piece then why isn't this a good thing? It's easier for us the consumer to decide if th...
Guess we should partner up!

I love the Lange 1 Moonphase - purchased the WG black dial. The Odysseus just doesn’t do it for me. All I see is a round dial watch case on a bracelet that doesn’t look particularly integrated - but to each their own I guess.
