This brings to mind the following questions:
Do A. Lange watches depreciate more than other high end brands?
Is 30-40% depreciation between new and pre-owned typical for high end watches across the board?
If you buy a pre-owned Lange and want to have it cleaned, lubricated and adjusted, what does that kind of service cost (for example) for a Lange 1 or Grand Lange 1 from a reputable watchmaker?
Any insight into these issues would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance for your help!

Yes, Langes do fall largely in value. I would prefer to buy a new/unworn one but probably not from an AD unless they give 30% off. Chrono24 is a good place to start looking.
