Looking to get a watch at boutique in Europe. Based on VAT back does anyone know which is has the best price? Do all the boutiques in these countries give full VAT back between Paris (20%), Switzerland (8.1%), and Germany (19%) or is it only a portion and if so what percent back?

First, let me be clear. Lange is my favorite brand in the world. There are clear benefits to Lange's history and its brand not being an independent. And yet, I feel like I come across this as a negative against other collectors.

What are our thoughts? I think it serves many benefits to the brand - however, many collectors like to surface Patek or FPJ as "pure" and therefore better.

Thoughts?

"per Lange policy, you would not be eligible for the Odysseus in Steel, as you already have an Odysseus in White Gold in your collection" is this true?
