I will start by saying I have loved this watch for almost as long as I’ve been collecting. To me, the 3940 is one of the most well laid out, beautiful watches out there. So, I finally started wondering what I was waiting for and just went for it. While not a daily, it’s really hard to take this one off. The silver dial with the linen texture is just perfect for me. And this thing is a strap monster.

So, anyways, pic below.

Congrats! The quintessential Patek.

sensui · 28 January 2023, 02:15 AM

Yeah it's just so Patek. Congrats.

Doesn’t get much better

brandrea · 28 January 2023, 02:18 AM

Congratulations it is indeed a beauty

Personally, I wouldn’t bother with other straps … that one compliments the dial perfectly IMHO

Ichiran · 28 January 2023, 02:19 AM

Nice PC. Congratulations!

Exactly this! Huge congrats...

... and a question. Do you know if all 3940G were Rhodium plated until the very end in around 2006 or if late examples came in grey gold w/o any plating?

Congrats!!

btinl · 28 January 2023, 03:24 AM

Congrats! That's a classic

Pw92676 · 28 January 2023, 03:48 AM

Amazing. Enjoy!

dbfagan · 28 January 2023, 04:41 AM

Congratulations! Best dial layout ever! Bullet proof movement, could easily "daily" it

Ellz · 28 January 2023, 04:43 AM

Love it- One of my favorites :-) Congratulations!

PT_91 · 28 January 2023, 05:43 AM

So f***ing beautiful! Please share more pictures, if possible. Congrats and enjoy!

ButtButt · 28 January 2023, 05:59 AM

Lovely with the more casual strap, congrats!

Mbbgysam · 28 January 2023, 06:22 AM

Perfect in every way -- congrats!

mps354 · 28 January 2023, 06:37 AM

huge congrats, love changing the straps on mine as well. i particularly like dark blue, grey, and beige.

BNA/LION · 28 January 2023, 06:39 AM

Congratulations! Beautiful!

sxdcfv911 · 28 January 2023, 06:47 AM

That's a nice looking watch paired with that strap.

Watchlover22 · 28 January 2023, 07:24 AM

Thanks guys. Much appreciated!

As for the strap, I much prefer it dressed down like this. Just a whole different look and feel for the watch and fits my lifestyle much better.

Some additional pics from my iPhone.

Question for you OP. Those quick change springbars you have.... Are those from Patek? I don't have them on my p curious if Patek makes platinum ones or I should just get stainless ones from delugs etc.

francoamerican · 28 January 2023, 09:02 AM

Love the watch and love the strap. Thank goodness these haven't exploded like everything else. Imagine buying an aquanaut instead of this!

Not recommended to cross-pollinate metals: platinum springbars for a platinum case.

Vasco · 28 January 2023, 09:19 AM

Excellent move! Your 3940 seems to be in excellent shape and you found a very nice strap to pair it with. It's not that often that we can remember of a watch that is always right up there after many years. I'm glad you found one.

Wear it in the best of health :)

subtona · 28 January 2023, 09:26 AM

Congrats. Timeless classic

No these aren’t OEM springbars. They came with the ACM strap it’s on.

I haven’t had any issues using steel springbars with a gold or platinum watch. Have never had the springbars cause any issues. I honestly doubt that the OEM ones would be gold or platinum either but I may be wrong on that.
