Patek: Service, Production, Values and the Company
It seems to me that there are quite a few threads in them with themes about where Patek stands today with respect to;- production quality and qc- service quality and times- the products- what collectors feel about direction of the company under Thierry- the PP seal- volumes of manufacture- investment/residuals/depreciation... and so on and so on.I resolutely feel that all these themes are interrelated and for this reason I wanted to start a consolidated thread on this forum where we could all give our two cents about the state of the company.I don't believe that this has been done yet hence my attempt at this thread and with that being said, I I'll go first.I'll start by saying that I will not consider ANY other watch manufacturer for any product over $25,000. No chance. I consider Patek today the pre-eminent watch maker with an unmatched brand and in the vast majority of cases, an unmatched product.But I have a problem and this problem is OVERPRODUCTION.

Gentlemen, what what you?I went to my local AD on try these two beauties on..... 3 days automatic, vs. Hand wound titanium. What say you?

TRF - what 3 things have you learned here?
I've only been a member of TRF for a month, but I've learned a ton. I thought it might be interesting to share lessons learned as a collection of best practices so to speak.I'll start ...1. Buy great watches if you love them when you see them at ADs ... The number one lesson learned for me. In practice, it led me to buy my 116500LN white last week when I wasn't really looking to make a purchase. 2. Only polish nice watches sparingly ... I always assumed that the polishing you get during service intervals was the best part - but I now know that if your watch really doesn't need a polish, then it's probably best to defer or perhaps ask for a light polish only.3. How to best fit an SD43 ... this is a more micro observation, but the thread on the SD43 fitting was awesome. Even the AD I went to hadn't heard the trick about removing the diver's extension. The board has tons of great tips like this.Finally, a thanks to the moderators who have made this the best watch board there is.

With SS on the rise is it even worth not just biting the bullet for a PM?
Even if I’m talking new to slightly used with the SS market seemingly booming wouldn’t it be worth just going PM if cost isn’t a major obstacle or you just want a SS? I’ve been thinking about this and historically the PMs really seem to hold a large premium over what the cost difference was new. I know there are exceptions but I saw a LV for $12.5k USD and I’d think going for a solid gold Sub a better choice. But like everything this is speculation. I mean how far are we from a $15k Sub. 7-8 years?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
