Dimardi's highly anticipated delivery of the A. Lange & Söhne Odysseus offers a compelling look into the luxury watch acquisition experience, particularly the extended wait times for coveted pieces. This article delves into the excitement of receiving a long-awaited timepiece and the meticulous service considerations that collectors often navigate, as highlighted by Dimardi's personal journey and subsequent community discussion.

Has your Patek returned from service? Chk
No return from service...new watch...is that the Patek service timeline?
But when a piece comes back from service, the handover experience is actually good, such that (imho) it's worth the wait.
Believe it or not, it arrived this morning but I was meeting friends for a workout...so instead of rushing it, I decided to workout first...lol
I asked PP not to clean the dial, and it did not. I asked for PP to leave the case alone, and they did. Yes, down to the leather pouch, little tag with geneva’s service numbers, and a single seal that a local technician would cut open for me.
Nice they followed your instructions...I can see why you were very specific!
