AMAZING ! 👍 Do you prefer them to Patek’s in-house chrono movements ? If so, why ?

I could never buy the vintage Pateks I wanted and longed for. I came to Patek just before the time Mr Stern handed over the helm to Thierry. For me as a vintage lover the last of the Lemania movement based references were the closest I was going to come to what I think of “Proper Patek Philippe complications”. I just don’t think the new Modern Patek is the same. Putting Syringe hands on a modern watch is not the same as vintage DNA for me. I’m sure I am a minority on this line of thought but hey
