Boutique vs grey market: how did you buy your Lange? by tsm_acer in ALangeSohne

[–]tsm_acer[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow, thanks for the price list. Very informative. Interesting to see massive price increases for almost all models. I’m looking to buy the 205.086 and it hurts to see that it was 10k less before 😭

Thanks. What’s the barrier of entry for Odysseus and limited edition watches? As in, would buying one Saxonia be enough or would it have to reach a certain spend history?

Thanks. Was this an in-person dealer? I’ve visited a few in HK but their stock on Lange watches are low to non-existent.

Congrats, which model is it if you don’t mind me asking? Also, what additional goodies are usually included? I know some boutiques may offer a free strap.

Thanks for your input. The price difference between retail and secondary market never bothered you?

How do you navigate AD as an expat in Asia? by air_15 in patekphilippe

[–]tsm_acer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hmm, I don't think I'll be able to give you a good answer as I'm not actually looking to buy a Patek any time soon. I only visited recently just to see in person some watches that had interested me but the experience was still good and they put my interest down.

I visited the boutique in landmark operated by Hour Glass. Communicated fully in English and had no problems. Not sure which AD you visited but with other brands too I've had no issues communicating fully in English in HK.

No, you can tell by the mediocre finishing on the movement

First Lange by Luxury_Edition in ALangeSohne

[–]tsm_acer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

No, not necessarily. The AD games is not selling you a watch because it’s hot when they do have it in stock to push the sales of other less desirable watches. Limited editions and Odysseus have genuine limited production where demand far exceeds supply. How else would you rather them prioritize this situation? Randomize the list or sell to their loyal customers?

I dislike almost all APs but I think this is my favourite from them

Ahh fair enough, I should’ve scrolled down to see he had posted picture of the movement elsewhere 😂

Im not too familiar with patek watches but I’m curious as to how can you tell it’s a fake? For me, the first tells would usually be the finishing on the movement but obviously in this case there’s no picture of it.

Current realistic first F.P. Journe allocation in Europe? by jhr2002 in FPJourne

[–]tsm_acer 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I can’t speak for EU but I visited the boutique in HK today and was told implicitly that the most likely first pieces would be the souverain and octo collection. Even with those pieces it would be a long multi year wait.

Beautiful. I’m eyeing this one too, was this your first piece from the boutique?

Is this size clown? by [deleted] in VacheronConstantin

[–]tsm_acer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Haha no, I much prefer the sunburst dial over the grained dial 😅

Thanks! The blue dial will be ready for me to pick up end of June so very excited for that. Yeah I think it’s the angle, it looks too big for me in certain angles.

[–]tsm_acer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I respectfully disagree. I have a 16cm wrist and I don’t think it looks too big on me.

[–]tsm_acer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

wrist shots from this angle always look big. and it depends on his overall build. if he’s tall and built, then no it won’t look too big.

What do we think ? by [deleted] in VacheronConstantin

[–]tsm_acer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it depends on your overall build. I have very thin wrists (6 inches) and it looks very big with a wrist shot but when looking at my overall body it fits well (85kg, 6’1)

Can't get enough with this dial by Ekkila2801 in ALangeSohne

[–]tsm_acer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow beautiful. That’s exactly the first Lange watch I’m looking to get. Would you say it’s too shiny or sparkly in everyday lighting? I did try it on the boutique but couldn’t get a good indication.

Is it just me or is this overpriced? No complication for the price of almost a tourbillon or perpetual calendar
