    The Watch Appreciation Thread - Part two (Rolex, Patek Philippe, Audemars Piguet, Jaeger LeCoultre,

    Was it not a conversation between you and I where I learned that one of the possible reasons Rolex randomized these numbers was to "equalize value" across production years or batches, and prevent collectors from placing undue value on, say, watches produced in (insert year or batch here) because...

    Wow, congrats in advance for the upcoming addition to the family! You are going to grow the household by 33% (by count, not bodyweight). Will take the convo elsewhere, but hey hey - I'll always be grateful to SF and TWAT for friends I've interacted with IRL (whoa how cool am I with these...

    @academe - glad to see you post here again! Today on the wrist - it's been three years since this bad boy was launched, off cycle, to a flurry of bad reviews from so-called tastemakers. I loved it from the get go, and even more so when I saw it in the metal. Sometimes the heart wants what it...

    @Keith T and @Dino944 always on point. And by "on point" I mean "they write statements that concur with what I myself feel and believe." :bounce2:

    Great comparison pics as always Belli. I took measurements for the SubC ND (flush crystal), SD4000 (raised crystal - like Daytona) and the DSSD (domed crystal) a few years back and in terms of thickness (12.5mm versus 15mm versus 17.5mm) and little differences in how the crystal was fashioned -...

    Ah did you visit last Saturday for Family Day? That is super. Hope the kids enjoyed!

    Yup. And it is a testament to Patek that any photo you try to take - unless you bring professional gear and you have the timepieces outside their super secure glass cases - will suck compared to having seen the real thing. A testament to truly admirable works of art and craftsmanship - no photo...

    I have no problems at all with my older outsourced CH 27-70 movements in my old, discontinued, but better looking 3970s. :)

    Congratulations on the recent purchases! Just this lousy slow selling recently introduced but quickly discontinued SD4000 on the wrist today. Nothing to see here. Move along.
