I am curious:
So what would you guys think about Patek watches double stamped with the "Beyer" logo??

The Beyer/Patek relationship outdates Tiffany by 12(!) years.

The Patek/Beyer relationship was established 1839

The Patek/Tiffany relationship was established in 1851

There was never a movie called "Breakfast at Beyer's"
Perhaps this would explain the weird infatuation with Tiffany dials, as it would explain why the Beyer stamped dials are far more rare and yet dont carry the absurd premiums that some of the Tiffany dials do.

Just as I do not hold a particular preference for Domino's stamped Rolex dials, I dont have any particular preference for any other third party names on my watch dials.
Looks like Lewis (Tiffany) was a bit jealous of Mr. Beyer
