Any recommendations on Lange ADs (I’m in the US) who will give decent discounts? Ready to buy for the right price.

Thanks everyone for the help! I ended up purchasing the watch for 17.5% off. Don’t want to share the name of the AD on the public thread just because they’re not really supposed to discount, but happy to provide the info over DM if anyone else is negotiating as well.

Picture to come, exciting day :)

What sort of discount are you after and what model do you have your eye on?

Same question 🙋‍♂️. Looking at a Saxonia outsize and don’t want to pay retail bec of the depreciation. So focused on pre-owned right now.

like

Go for preowned. Did the same calculus and saved probably 30-40% off retail on my barely used 1815 a couple years back. No depreciation and I could probably profit a few $K if I sold it now.

That’s a beautiful watch! One of my favorites

I actually found that the Saxonia 35mm isn’t that different new vs used, probably because it’s a bit niche due to the size and not that many are made. Might have saved an additional 1 - 1.5k, but decided to just go new at that point. If I were going for a higher end model like this one might have made a different decision

I’m looking at the 35mm Saxonia, and I’m aiming for a 25% discount off the USD price. I know that’s going to be relatively hard to find.

Also, any advice on how to have these conversations? No one will give me a quote or offer a discount over the phone...

I am glad you two have been able to work things out.

Good luck on the pursuit of the Lange! Beautiful piece!

Question for folks with second homes: Considering buying a vacation home but would be primarily for family use. We currently have a primary residence with a mortgage balance of ~640K, so my understanding is I could only deduct the mortgage interest on 110K of the second mortgage to stay under the 750K cap. If I were to buy the second home through an LLC, would that allow me to exceed that 750K since the expenses of the second home would be pass through expenses/income?
