What would you buy with a budget of $40,000?

Are moonphase Lange difficult to find at Lange AD or boutique? Is it a mistake to buy it new? They are beautiful watches. Do you get killed on trade-in? I don’t mind losing half on a panerai or IWC but losing 20-25k on a Lange in a couple of years is what has made me shy away from them. I know Rolex does something to their white gold so it doesn’t yellow. Has anyone had that happen to a white gold Lange? Does it take decades?

If I mean a watches, I would add another 10,000 bucks and buy a Patek Philippe Complications 5205R, one of the most beautiful watches in the world.

I have not encountered any issues this far. I believe Patek, Rolex and Lange use a white gold alloy throughout (grey gold) instead of standard rhodium plating.

But to remove all doubt, you could just go platinum

If you get bored easily, maybe the other option is to buy several stainless steel watch’s from a few different brands

I have already done that

An onyx dial for a small speedmaster, clearly!

I also like some of the other Lange watches and Pateks but need help trying to decide. Please share your thoughts. It seems I get bored with watches and am hoping one of these won’t bore me after a couple of months.

WG Oysterflex Daytona and purchase a Rolex alligator strap.

Apparently, yes, they do exist for the easylink clasp.
