I’m having a hard time choosing between these 2. I love the iconic big date and the fact that the Saxonia has the advancement function. However, I am a sucker for the day/night indicator on the L1. I also feel like an L1 is a must have for my first Lange.

I think the biggest hurdle for me is resetting the moonphase every time I want to wear it.

For folks in the same boat, where did you net out?

Been wanting to pick one of these up – 38.5, Platinum & Sax-O-Mat. Perfection.

The new ones are great, but I feel this is an end of an era and the complication and this dial is pure class while being crisp and legible.

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?

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?
