seeking some opinions on the following choices, pre-owned vs new, in terms of aesthetics and value, for a daily dress watch:

taking into account that if i buy pre-owned, i would like to ship it to the boutique for a full service and polish/overhaul right away, so gotta factor in that cost as well

1.) Lange 1 MP RG version, dated in the 2000s, at US$27-29k pre-owned
2.) Lange 1 MP black dial WG version, dated in the 2020s, at US$39K BNIB
3.) Lange Saxonia AC WG blue hands, dated in the 2010s, at US$36K pre-owned

thank u

Option 2, although have you considered this? Platinum. Beautiful black dial. Sub seconds dial. Classic 1815 numeral hour markers and minute track. And price wise, it’s probably around the pieces you listed.

Could anyone share some side by side wrist shots of an Odysseus and 5 digit Sub or GMT?

I’m increasingly leaning toward one, but am used to ‘smaller’ sports watches.

I think it's nice. I'm also into dressing down my Saxonia Thin Copper Blue. Blue suede is the current choice.

I love this! Beautiful! I admit I generally dislike alligator straps so anything is better in my view, but you picked a winner here

Thanks guys! Great feedback. I’m trying to explore dressing the watch down a bit. I often wear this watch daily, so it’s nice to make it a bit more versatile.

Yes, I read that email with great interest. I won't be able to get up to SF until June, but I definitely plan to get make it in there.

How was the attendance?
