You could do worse than selling or trading it here.

After all, WPS may be the only place in the world where the majority may prefer your DB 25 over the Odysseus. The DB 25 is not beholden to the trends of the moment. Both great watches.
There's an online retailer closely related to DeBethune's ownership. They would buy for sure. Alternatives may offer a better price, especially a private sale.

Sell it, or not sell it, that is the question...

I am considering selling one of my DB beauties to realize a watchmaking dream - a steel Lange Odysseus ๐
What is the best way to sell the watch now? An auction house? Chrono24? Ebay? Looking for someone willing to trade? ๐ค ...
If it was me I would keep the DBโฆ

You sound like you have doubts. In that case waitโฆYour DB is a fantastic cool watch. IMO much nicer than the Odysseus.
Mine too.

If I had an Odysseus I'd happily trade it to you for that watch!
By: El Padre : September 27th, 2023-14:27
Yes, I do have doubts... I know will regret this decision because DB25 from the beginning of the company is a real deal with better quality than the recent ones. From another side... I have other DB, so... ๐ค
Im scared you will regret it....
By: ChristianDK : September 27th, 2023-14:36
Wait untill you are sure.... because you will always be able to get a Odysseus - but this one - not so easy.
Agree ๐ฏ

I love DB so......you should keep it!!
By: Spencer Karrington : October 2nd, 2023-21:09
All of the complaints i have heard about DB i believe are being resolved and Lange i have heard have similar issue so,why not stick with the cool one lol but that is my two cents based upon my limited knowledge and huge bias (i am super jelly you have MUL...

And the hoarding of pieces and very convoluted allocation process. For me, the DB28 is their magnum opus and the one to own, personally. I am also perplexed by the current pricing and scarcity of these watches. At one point, about 1.5 to 2 years ago, they...
Thanks!

For me, the question of distribution, marketing, or trying to influence customers is irrelevant. What matters to me is the quality of the product. If it were otherwise, I wouldn't be wearing a Rolex. My thoughts are that before WB acquired the brand, DB w...
I concur.....
By: Spencer Karrington : October 10th, 2023-00:10
It is difficult for an independent brand that produces so much internally with such little funding to remain solvent and with the funding from WB, they can remain functioning which is for me more important and I still think that the brand is making amazin...

I would not sell itโฆ.
By: dedestexhes : September 27th, 2023-14:13
For the Lange. But thatโs me, so if you like the Lange more, just do it. How to sell it, I donโt know what is the best way for this watch. You always can try via this site? Nice problem to have ๐, Dirk

I would not say that ALS is on hype
By: El Padre : September 28th, 2023-08:21
In my opinion is the opposite (Odysseus is not included ๐). The quality of these watches is above a lot of different companies. I think the retail price is very reasonable, market... hmmm not at all ๐
I like design a lot...
By: El Padre : September 28th, 2023-08:16
...and overprice... same with 5711 and a lot of different models
If you have to do it..
By: Jay (Eire) : September 27th, 2023-14:32
โฆthen start with some dealers to see where the real bid is on your watch. DB is hot still, there are several dealers who should be able to give you a bid. Hot does not mean the prices you might see for listed watches are anywhere close to what they sell f...
What dealers do you have in mind?
By: El Padre : September 27th, 2023-14:43
Honestly, I would even prefer to wait and find someone who will appreciate this watch, rather than sell it to some flippers. Of course, I know that this brand is specific. it is difficult to buy DeBethune as well as to sell. It should be a keeper, but som...
Print a picture of the Odysseus. Cut it out.
By: edtonkin : September 27th, 2023-15:23
Laminate it for durability and water resistance. Wear it for a week. Youโll get over it. Then youโll come to your senses and keep your amazing, rare and much more special DB. Just my $0.02
Thanks for your oponion!
By: El Padre : September 28th, 2023-08:23
That is the problem, I had Odysseus for a couple of days... and I canโt stop thinking about it ๐
That watch perfect on your wrist
By: TeutonicCarFan : September 27th, 2023-15:25
Odysseus does nothing for me. Maybe the ti version? Also make sure you can even get one. A lot of collectors getting cold shoulder from lange unless bundle.
Yes, I think are right
By: El Padre : September 27th, 2023-18:46
I had an opportunity to wear Odysseus, and since then I canโt forget about this watch. Unfortunately chances to get it at ALS boutique are small...
Thanks!
By: El Padre : September 27th, 2023-16:52
Seems that you're not crazy about this watch anymore...
By: patrick_y : September 27th, 2023-17:09
I would find a broker who specializes in selling these kinds of pieces. I highly do not recommend you use eBay nor Chrono24 if you don't know what you're doing (some sellers have been left with no money and no watch). Where in CHF are you? Feel free to se...
sell it !!๐คญ
By: christianch : September 27th, 2023-17:27
I know how it is to fall off-love and in this case the only solution is selling it. DB are still doing well on the secondary market so you can try Chrono24 or an auction house. With Chrono I had good experiences. The Odysseus is very cool and more versati...

Your DB is lovely
By: bsandovalb : September 28th, 2023-14:14
But the blue faced steel Odysseus is, for me, the best version... I had a chance to try it and is so much nicer in person.. I would hunt the earlier versions that do not have the fully integrated bracelet, so you could play with different strap options to...
Thanks mate!

Odysseus took my heart ๐
Try listing here
By: watch-er : September 30th, 2023-22:22
Without a public profile of a lot of sales, it will be tough to private sell that watch. Perhaps sell it to a dealer such as Watchbox who makes a market in that brand, new and used.
