Its a great (and lucky) dilemma to be facing
Jul 14, 2021,15:55 PM
In the past, VC used to accommodate requests to change city rings (at least they advertised it when they first launched this piece as a way to keep up with changes in geo-politics; after all timezones in a number of countries are politically set).
So what I would suggest is to ask VC if they would be willing to make the switch in the city ring on the basis that you would like to see your home country/city on it. At that price point, its not an unreasonable ask. If they say no, then you have your answer and the choice would be between the Lange and Patek. As others mentioned, this Patek may be picked up at a later point and the Lange gets you closer to the Odysseus (if that is something you are still keen on).
Since you indicated that you are already willing to be in the VC price range, you can probably swing the Lange 1 TZ, the Patek, and down the road when the “allocation is made”, the Odysseus with a bit more funds. Alternatively, as others mentioned, the Patek enamel world time 5131/5231 is the icon. At the VC’s price point, a new or grey second hand are both within budget (assuming you are looking at WG).
Again, wonderful choices and you really cannot go wrong - so listen to your heart and let us know what you end up doing!
All the best,
