Lange Odysseus White Gold owners review

Hi I have just completed my first month with the new white gold Odysseus. I bought two leather straps from Lange and I have the rubber it came with. I have to say I prefer the brown leather one the best. The rubber one is interesting, but it doesn’t hold the weight of the watch that well. It’s also a little incongruous with the brand. Just feels more Lange on the leather. I love how legible the dial is and how easy it is to adjust the date with the hidden pushers. The lume is much better than expected and you can clearly read the time in low light. It doesn’t feel as sporty as my 5164 aquanaut, I think because it is substantially heavier and thicker. The finishing is really well done and the movement side is a cut above AP and PP in my humble opinion ( but I know beauty is entirely subjective). One thing I like is that this is not an easily recognized watch. It’s not on the bracket so no one is confusing it for a nautilus or royal oak. It is clearly Lange DNA, but highly shockproof and waterproof making it a good daily wearer. My only peeve is that the strap is supposed to be quick change, but you need to change the buckle with each strap and that is white gold and easily scratched. I wish they had taking a leaf out of the Overseas handbook and created a genuinely easy strap change. This is just a humble user review, my horological knowledge is entirely amateur compared to the many experts on this wonderful board. But would love to hear from owners and prospective owners your views on this wonderful watch.
