Lange Odysseus

After a Delivery delay due to COVID my Odysseus arrived today. Simply a stunning piece to view and wear.

Many thanks. Just noticed in the photos I left some protective film on the lugs - now gone.

Congrats!

How are you finding it in terms of comfort? Was curious in particular of how the bracelet feels.

I still can't get over the bracelet... though I may feel otherwise once I get one on my wrist. Otherwise, love it.

Congrats, Russell. Thanks for sharing, and enjoy in the best of health!

Beautiful watch, they say there is a waiting list for this one, a couple of years.
Well done.

The piece is extremely comfy, I used to own a Patek 5085 with a beads of rice bracelet which was super comfy (although too shiny) and this is on a par - the on the wrist adjustment works perfectly.

They are fortunately so different and for different occasions that I can happily say I love both equally.

You've had quite the few days Russell. Must say I prefer this one ;)

Congrats and enjoy in good health.

I met Mr. Schmid, the Lange CEO, at the London boutique, tried on the Odysseus and had a long chat about the watch, expressed great interest and have even bought a Lange from the boutique's owner store before. Yet I'm still waiting for any sign of life.

Ho hum.

Have you put an application in with us (I think I spoke to you on that day when Mr Schmid was in store)? I can look in to what's happening, there have been some delays in getting a response on applications

I’m one of the people who actually loved this watch the moment it was released. Unfortunately my visit to the boutique in Miami made it clear I would not be able to purchase one without the proper purchase history. I guess ill have to wait until they hit the secondary market which is disappointing but I get it.

Every now and then one or 2 comes on the secondary market. Unfortunately Lange is exploiting the only stainless steel watch they have. Not a cool move, but I guess everyone is doing it to some extent.

Amazing Russell! The Lumen, the Oddy, everything else! Hats off to you sir!

Are you planning on wearing this bad boy freely? I only ask as I would love to see some pics with battle scars, maybe 6 months down the road after taking your Odysseus on its Odyssey.
