If you have a boutique with a watchmaker on-site, then they can photo the watch and send those to Glashutte.
Normally, it takes them 6 weeks to generate and send the new Proof of Origin Certificate to the boutique.
Thank you very much!

What is stopping you? It is probably better than most of your watches combined, no? And let me venture if the Dato was a price riser than a faller you would have done this deal already, and so might have I.

Guys, please advise: pre-owned 2009 Lange 1 in a rose gold or a new 1815 Auf/Ab in a rose gold? The price is same.

What is your budget?
Are they the only ones you fancy or is it a budget and/or local thing?
What I’m getting at is would you consider a Saxonia model and/or travel within the EU to get the piece you ultimately decide to opt for?

Might be worth starting your own thread to explore the options in more detail.

It would likely be a chrono black dial in WG/plat but honestly I have only ever seen yellow gold in the wild so it's hard to narrow down a selection. Would need to be wearable with t-shirt and jeans as well, so I need to see more in person. I had a Glashutte Panoreserve which I moved on relatively quickly as it felt too formal so I would need a sporty-ish formal look.

I would need to move an AP chrono, a Speedmaster, a seamaster NYC edition, a Grand Seiko snowflake and a vintage DJ. Not "need" as in to free up the cash per se, but those would just not get wrist time if I did a major consolidation into a single high end daily. (So to your point AK797... I do think about resale but from those pieces you can see I don't chase "hot" watches). A couple of other Roles professional models would stay for other reasons and cover water based/rougher duties.

The datagraph seriously appeals as a daily to me as they are look gorgeous (even better from behind) but understated at the same time. I think I would be less self conscious wearing one than a Rolex costing a quarter of the price but know that people in the know would appreciate it if spotted.

Just a thought for the moment and yes, I need to try a few on and learn more about the different variants. I tried a 5170p on a little while back and liked that so think I could get used to the size/style.

As I said... Need to sit in a dark room and let the madness pass :)

A new member of the family! Lots of people seem sour about the PP/AP/Rolex waitlist situation, but I have to thank them for steering me away from the herd to a watch, and brand, I'd probably not purchase in the next decade otherwise. But now I'm hooked, no wait list or nothing. Just pure happiness!

Who else would you guys put up against ALS in terms of finishing? I haven't found anything (used prices) that really competes with my Lange 1 in the same price range. The soft used market for them really makes them an attractive buy IMO. Tons of horological bang for buck... :)

Thanks everyone! I love this watch more and more every time I look at it.

Out of all my recognizable watches which rarely get any special attention, I thought this would be the most descrete.
Funny enough, first time I wear it to a bar and an older gentleman approaches: "sorry to disturb you, I usually don't do this, but is that what I think it is? I never saw one in person, may I look?".
I was quite shocked, but it's nice to have a watch that is under the radar, yet those who know- they know. We had a few minutes of chat and he insisted on paying for my drink, quite a nice experience.

Just 10,000 more similar encounters and the watch paid for itself!
