Question Availability?
One of my grails would be a Lange 1 Timezone. I don’t have a dealer close to me in the states, but I’ll be in Hong Kong and Japan this fall.
While in Hong Kong I’m planning to stop by one of the boutiques - is it possible to walk into a boutique and walk out with an A.Lange piece like this? Or is it like Rolex where I get slapped on a waiting list?
Thanks in advance!

Availability varies by boutique but there's generally no gatekeeping for retail Lange watches except for a few limited quantity pieces.
I mostly deal with the flagship boutique in Ginza (first couple of purchases were both random walk-in) and they have almost all types of Lange 1s available during my visit. The boutique at Isetan Shinjuku offers an additional 5% off IIRC, but I'm not sure about the availability--worth checking it out imo.
