No knowledge on this watch .....but i would not take the risk buying from the chrono24, particularly involving such a huge sum of money....would rather buy from the local AD..... Good luck hunting

I agree...
If you're willing to drop that kinda cash... better visit some local ADs...
Get the full experience... Transferring a huge wad of cash and receiving a watch via parcel is not too exciting for that kinda money.
I am sure some members here can help you out...

Watch servicing cost is one of the criteria before I take the plunge. I suppose You are not buying watches without trying right?

Bro, I wouldn't get it online due to the amount of money involved. I assume you have already tried it out at ADs and this lange makes you drool. May I suggest that if the savings is substantial from online sources, you could actual make a trip to their place (treat it as part of the experience + holiday) and purchase it then. There was a member here that did it, just to share.

At least, if it was a scam, it would save you from heartbreak.

regards
Tsw

Agree to above comments. In addition, u need to factor in the 6% gst that you will be charged. The amount of gst charged can get you return flight tix to europe i think.

This is what I do.

Try local @ AD. Compare prices at reputable online sellers. Factor in GST and compare flying for a F2F with online seller. It's Done !

My view is get a really good deal or move on, Lange's are so hard to shift and most the time you will take big a hit. I love Lange, the movement is amazing so nice!! but I avoid them because of the value retention. Also at 1 time I was considering a pre owned datograph but after learning about all the service cost and re-sale issues I passed.
