I laugh at my friends when they say I bought a Sub or GMT because it’s a tool watch. My buddy has a DSSD and tells me how great this watch is. Yes, it’s a great watch but don’t tell me you bought it because it’s a tool watch and you go in the pool with it! Anyone buying a Sub is not using it to dive with. In fact, as a dive watch, it is useless! Technology blew by the Sub 20 years ago and the Sub never changed. You buy a Sub (or a DSSD) to impress your friends.
As has been mentioned previously, you buy a Patek for yourself. No need to impress anyone, because no one know what they are. I stopped wearing Rolex around my family and friends because I didn’t what them to think I was “showing off. ” I stopped wearing Rolex walking around the city because I don’t want to get knocked over the head for 20K.
The people that buy and wear Patek don’t need to be convinced to buy them. They understand. However, I don’t know anyone that owns a Patek that started with Patek. I also don’t know anyone with a Perpetual Patek that started there.
To those that are considering Patek for the first time, I say, “hold on it is a thrilling ride that will last a lifetime”!
