Early congrats Fx!
I like the fact that Lange wants the Odysseus to be available for the clients who were actually demanding this type of watch.👍🏻
This is not good for me though, as I don't own yet any Lange 😥
I've been considering several ones in the past, and will definitely add the brand to my collection one day (hopefully). Initially, I've always been interested in the usual suspects, mainly Lange 1 and Datograph, although I'm loving the Zeitwerk badly lately.
But as a "rotational one watch guy", I'm starting to see in the Odysseus a lot of elements that appeal to me, and will qualify it as a nearly perfect watch for my daily use. Who knows? But I'm definitely looking forward to see it in the flesh the sooner the better.
Cheers!

The Lange Odysseus is growing on me 😱
I'm thinking of shooting an email to my AD to see if there's any option to try it on in the coming weeks, after the lockdown. I have no idea about availability, but I've seen that some of our dear Purists have one already. Any input is welcome. I guess th...
I hope to get mine after the lockdown... well weeks after!
About the availability the priority is given to Lange clients I mean people with already several pieces. It is also the reason why you don't find it on C24. We are talking about people who are faithful to the brand. Fx
That's a completely understandable policy. However it's funny, because you'd think, that this watch is needed to attract new, younger clients to this rather classic watch brand.
Do you think, the new WG version will be the same, or will it be easier to abtain for non Lange-customers?
Hi mate
The WG seems to be available. I know one AD who has it incoming. Fully agree on your thoughts that it will make sense if this model is also made available to non-existing Lange clients for the purpose of education and experience. It’s an interesting desig...
Which is something most people don't understand. This watch is specially made to cater existing clients because they wanted something more rugged for so long.
It was never their intend to compete with other sports watches but the crowd makes it look like... wonder why is that? Do they fear of missing out the current wave of sports watches?

I am also trying to grow one in my wrist but I am failing miserably ...
Things look like it is a reserved piece for Lange customers only. Multiple Lange owners. Like with any other sports watch of the top end of the market ...
I like especially the new WG version with rubber strap.
I will have to check whether availability for this version is also limited.
Boutique only purchases count
When I inquired about the availability, I was told that you had to have spent at least $25,000 at a Lange boutique in order to qualify for the Odysseus. The boutique I went to told me that my Lange purchase in Harrod’s Lange store was not considered a bou...
Same experience on my side...
Was trying to get the Odysseus but given this would have been my first Lange, was told by the New York boutique if I buy another Lange first from them I would likely be able to make the list. And same as well in that if I was to buy my first Lange from an...
Something similar happened to me with AP. All sorts of models became boutique only and my AP purchases at the AD before didn‘t count. Didn‘t buy any AP after that. [nt]
Good thing I didn‘t buy a Lange so far, so I don‘t have to care about transition to boutiques, haha.
I can understand the complexity and some business based decisions made by the brands
But the truth is that this hobby is becoming more and more frustrating for most of us, "mortal" watch enthusiasts.
