My Moser & Patek PC comparison * warning some pix *

Yup, I'm a certified PC Perv....!!



The Moser is my 3rd PC, I never stopped looking at PCs,



Why would I want another PC? Why The Moser?



My 3940 has been great, still is, all that grand complications in a classic thin case, made possible by its cal .240. Patek has done a good job!



The Moser on the other hand, doesn't exhibit that complications on its exterior and dial!

A simple dial design, highly legible with a big flash date is truly practical. If not for it's almost unnoticeable center Month indicator, only a guru can tell what this watch can deliver. A patented flash date that jumps 1-2 mins after midnight, advancing and setting the date backwards at will probably puts 3940 to shame Try doing that on my 3940 and you will know why.

Unlike the 3940, it's a hand wind! When fully wound, it runs for at least 7 days! A welcome change for me, if I had to leave the Moser at home on my weekly travel trips and come back to a gem still running at 1/3 tank full! To me, winding it once a week poses great convience and I truly believe now with this PC, the watch never stops running with a correct date for years to come!



The Moser is fairly curvy, but not as much as the Patek, this I think is unbeatable! But Moser's short lugs and convex back sits comfortably on my wrist! Unlike my 3940, the manual wind movement is beautiful to look at too!

You may relive the many wonderful pix of The Moser's movement in this post / link below:

The Moser is 'thicker', again, not many PC comes close to a 3940. I'm not a 'big watch guy' but the Moser's almost 41mm size seems fitting on my blessed small wrist! Amazing!



The Moser is a different PC altogether! It doesn't show the Day and the Year (so does the 3940!), exactly what I like about its simplicity! If I may say, The Moser could be the SIMPLEST PC around that I know, agree?



It's my personal take on my PC collection. I'll leave out its technical information as they can be found easily on the web.

Enjoy and I welcome all comments.

Cheers
