Patek is another league, it really is one of if net even THE top brand in haute horlogerie. Patek is not a brand for starters, Rolex is.
Rolex watches are pretty good value for being a completely in house produced manufacture watch and considering the moderate maintainance costs Rolex watches are close to being the perfect every day and every occasion watch.
Patek's goal never was to be that, Patek just wanted to make the best watches in the world and they probably do. Patek is a very small company compared to Rolex but still making very good profit.
It is like comparing Mercedes Benz and Bentley.
Hello guys,
I was just wonderung what a genuine 7734 freshly serviced would be worth?
I have one on my desk currently - dunno if I'll keep it or sell it (depends on it's worth).
Your advise is appreciated.
IMO the current Tudor collection is very nice and far from beeing a poor man's Rolex.
I really hope that reps will follow. Not only the Heritage Chrono is a stunner, the Hydro 1200 is so too and we also need a propper rep of the super cool Iconaut!
I am actually going to order one of the new Explorers. It is now 39mm instead of 36 and with the additional 3mm it is exactly the watch I ever dreamed of as daily beater. Perfect size, easy link, solid bracelet...
On the gen the background is empty when the background lighting is switched on as far as I know.
Dunno if the color (black / empty) scheme on the rep is correct without background lighting. I actually like the watch...
Guys I hope the wait will be over soon. During the wait I have aquired a lot of parts for the Sea Dweller: Gen He valve, gen crystal, gen bezel insert, gen crown, gen crown tube, gen spring bars, gen divers extensions (both S and L size)... I want that watch now
PDK takes the cars soul. It may be faster, but not more fun. And I say that after being involved in developing the Porsche 997.
On topic: I LOVE the look of the Montauk Highway LE. Hope they rep it
