But if the rate results are so poor with the Cal 3120 why do you rate the movement so much higher than the Patek one? Or why is the Patek "only" 15?

A large part of "value" is what something is worth once you have bought it, and in this case PP is the strong winner. You can rather easily get 20-25% discount on various AP models, not so on Pateks. And the 5711 retains it's value much better than a Royal Oak. Value to me has little to do with the initial cost, but how much value is retained.

But don't get me wrong, it is a great comp and you put a lot of effort into it, so big kudos on that. I would rate the watches a bit differently, as well as perhaps compare the 5711 to the 15202 that came out last year.

Cheers,

Patrick
