Stuxnet pretty much hits the nail on the head...
as for the JLC movements question we are almost entering whose bigger than whose territory...JLC was always not as the movement providor to the wtachmakers and supplied PP for 30 years and Vacheron etc etc...so I would expect them to have a number of movements to have fitted many models at many watchmakers. Patek has perhaps too many models at 211 and I dont think its realistic to expect 125 different movements for the entire range.... |

As someone who is 6'4", about 220 pounds- I couldn't be happier with the 42 mm watches from Patek. I used to drool at all these great pieces and try them on and needed a microscope to see them on my wrist.
IMHO - the 42 mm size is just about the perfect size. However I hope Patek makes no more "larger" watches. My wallet can't afford it anymore.m :) |

I'm new to owning a Patek Philippe. However, it seems to ne that the supply and demand principle is followed by Patek Philippe just like any other good company. If necessary a correction will occur by the PP. As for me, I like their smaller dress watches, which are understated and classically designed and proportioned in my opinion. I find larger dress watches (38-40mm) too big on my seven inch wrist, but it is all a matter of personal taste. Currently it seems most people prefer larger watches, regardless purpose. I prefer small dress watches and larger sports watches, e.g., 38-42. Lastly, in my little rant, patek's services times are way too long. If other companies can service, repair and restore a watch in far much less time, Patek should be able to as well. In closing, I still enjoy admiring Patek Philippe watches and wearing my 3520D-J.
