Was this your first from ALS?

Thanks! Second, I previously had the aventurine dial Saxonia Thin.

All so beautifully finished but wonder why they don’t do well in resale market then. Too few people able to appreciate the finesse of Lange!

not many celebrities wear it so its less popular than the Patek and AP. This is a huge plus for me personally and another reason why i love Alange.

It's white gold and grey dial. 101.030- quite a rare Lange 1 that was made between 2003-2007. Apparently less of these made than the Darth or the blue dial!

Has the steel Odysseus become more available from the AD ? I see prices softening considerably. I'm close to pulling the trigger via grey reputable dealer . I've been longing for one for quite some time but hate playing the games at the AD to buy a reference I funny want just to get on a list for a future Odysseus.

From my understanding steel odysseus queue is back open....but you need a qualifying purchase. They will have additional releases in August & October.

Curious to know what the terms are now - the last time the queue was open and I qualified the wait was aprox 3 years but the price was left TBD so i passed

I think the waiting time 3 years as I was told in Hong Kong.

Gotta go grey market with a reputable seller. With inflation, a 3 year wait, and no guarantees...seems to be the best way to land a steel Odysseus. Such a great reference on so many levels.

Yea I’m better of buying it from the secondary market if I really wanted rather than waiting 3 years and leaving the price unopened.

NWA.... Waited, traded, searched... Finally fortunate enough to obtain one of my grails. So easy to wear, very useful complications, buttery soft bracelet, amazing attention to detail. The Odysseus in steel !

If you’re a fan of rubber straps, keep in mind the early models have a removable bracelet.

That’s what I’m hoping to find as I love changing up the look of a watch with a strap. Maybe hard to find though as I don’t think many were made.

[Yobrooks]

I think only 250 piecesc were made that way

I think am at a point where it’s time to get my first ALS,and I settled on the Lange 1 Time Zone,116.039 or the platinum 116.025. Can anyone recommend a good preowned watch dealer in Europe? Thank you!

I don't get why ALS made it impossible to switch out the bracelet for the strap.

I get it, they have a strap model, and they didn't want people to buy that and then add a bracelet, but sounds kinda petty.

Besides, buying the strap version and then getting the bracelet has never been the right move for any watch (it always turns out being the financially less prudent choice).

Ugh, I hate when watch companies do this.

[Yobrooks]

The bracelet is so buttery soft, I actually feel is more comfortable than a strap and looks great. Hats to know the real reasons behind their decisions. I've seen some folks online be able to swap out for a strap with a homemade sprinbar hack... Out of my league .
