Did the give you a figure on it even though it's no longer available? I'll bet required service alone would buy a really nice watch :-(
I was told all sold out, but maybe that is the allocation for US. 20% left but is for other continents.
I always take the sold out statements with a grain of salt, some of those pieces will take year or more to deliver. I believe there are deposits on the first batch, beyond that - who knows.
Yes the pink gold dialed Lange 1 PC is indeed more attractive than its grey dial led sibling. Much clearer too. The Triple Split is a mechanical marvel but I agree it’s too thick and unwieldy. On my wrist it almost felt wobbly thick (but to be fair I dunt have a large wrist). VC had some really nice pieces this year. I am totally smitten with the new VC overseas skeletonized ultra thin PC in white gold. Same with their new limited edition platinum split second. Both real beauties! Hope you get y
I love both versions of the Perpetual Calendar. Very curious about the blue dial Triple Split as well. I believe they make their way to the Costa Mesa boutique in a couple weeks.
At least you got into the NYC Lange boutique. Business must be good. In the past two months I’ve called and sent two emails to try to schedule an appointment, but apparently they have no inclination to respond.🤷♂️
