Anyone here own any A Lange & Sohne models?
I'm leaning towards picking up a basic Saxonia 35mm... but I have no clue where or how I would get it serviced down the line. There are no Boutiques or ADs in Vancouver(?), and I think the only AD in all of Canada is in Toronto? (I could be wrong).
Anyway, was wondering if anyone here has one and has servicing experience or avenues. No offense to local watchmakers, but I don't really trust anyone but Lange to service a watch of this price/level of finish.
Thanks in advance!

The only Canadian authorized dealer is in Montreal
Chateau d'Ivoire
2020, rue de la Montagne
Montréal Québec H3G 1Z7
Canada
If I am understanding you correctly, are you looking for a third-party watchmaker to repair your potential A.Lange & Sohne? Or just any authorized dealer?

Or just any authorized dealer? | I'm looking for an AD to help facilitate in sending and receiving the watch to get serviced by Lange. I'm assuming all Lange would go back to Germany?
I wouldn't really trust a non Lange authorized service center to touch a watch of that level.
I guess I'm not super familiar with the whole process of having a watch sent to a service center. Do service centers allow individuals to package/ship their watches for servicing? Or does it always have to go through a AD or boutique? In other words, can I pack/ship a watch to Lange in Germany to get serviced? Or does an AD have to do it on my behalf?

You can arrange to send it yourself to A.Lange & Sohne. It's a common practice regardless of marques. You contact or go on their website and they will send you instructions on what to do. It's the same for Rolex, Omega and everyone and their dog. You've paid a premium for customer support, so you should be able to take advantage of it.

You sure you want a 35mm ALS? I would think the 37mm would be more appealing.

Sent from my Pixel using Tapatalk | Are you referring to the Saxonia Thin 37mm? If so, I prefer the non-thin model with the sub seconds. The Saxonia Thin looks a tad too simple.
I also have small wrists, so a 35mm while may be small at first, I'm sure I'll get used to it fairly quickly. Unless there is a 37mm Saxonia that I don't know about. NOTE: I'm looking primarily for the White Gold Silver dial model. I know the gray dial model is a different size. Let me know if I missed one! Quote:

If I remember correctly they're (A. Lange) dropping the brand or the brand dropped them (Montecristo)

Nothing wrong with Miyota or third-party movements. In-house movements often mean only the OE can repair them and have a strong hold market on parts availability. If we look at Tudor and Breitling who have now offered their in-house movements, but replace them at their discretion because its too complicated to fix? Kinda makes you wonder...

Montecristo's been in some cahoots lately. Brands have been dropping them. Rolex for sure. Pretty sure A.Lange & Sohne as well. If anything exists there, it's new old stock. They won't get anything new.

A simple Google search will yield a few results. 
TL;DR: Crazy Rich Chinese People + sales practices + Revenue Canada

Ouch, that's unfortunate... I went by the one at Metrotown 2 years ago before they moved downstairs. I was checking out some Blancpain Fifty Fathoms.
Didn't really like how they close their doors and have a "guard" standing there watching you talk to the salesmen. But I guess extra security for a jewelry store isn't out of place.
Went there once, and never wanted to go back. Despite their salesmen being decently nice (although not knowledgeable about the watches).

The Oakridge store at one point consistently was robbed probably once or twice a year which explains their over the top security.

He told me I need to bundle the sub with a gold watch or something in order to obtain a sub. Is this true? I am ready to buy and understand supply is short but find it hard to believe they do not sell the sub alone.

That's just part of the game these days to get high demand Rolex watches. You gotta spend some dough in order to get in line to get a Submariner these days. It's not just Montecristo; It's all Rolex dealers. If you're dead set on getting one it's either playing their way, or buying pre-owned. That or find something else.
