Thank you for the advice. I am turning 40 next year. I have no excuse now. A Patek PC chronograph is the way to go. I'm torn between the 3970, 5970 and 5270. I hope Mr. Stern makes my decision easier by introducing something new and wonderful in April.

Great 40th B-day present. Good to get it while you're young (yes, 40 is still young) so you have more time to enjoy it. Congrats!

Congrats on a fabulous piece.

On a side note, I wish someone would of told me sooner that at 40 I should start rewarding myself. I started 10 years too late
