New member with 3445 questions.
Hi All,
I'm based in Paris and was until now more of a Jaeger-Lecoultre addict (Reverso and Atmos, esp.). I've just bought my first Patek, a 3445 from 1965. Freshly serviced and nicely polished, no scratches, etc,. Yellow Gold with leather band, I simply love it.
Here four questions for the experts of this forum:
a) does somebody have the user manual for this watch? i'd be very pleased to have a copy of it, if it can be downloaded from somewhere...
b) what is the normal "Reserve de marche" duration?
c) what model of PP buckle was this watch originally delivered with (in 1965)?
d) The date change takes place at 11:45 PM, not at 00:00 AM... Is this acceptable on a PP that was freshly serviced or should I have the watch conbtrolled ? Or can it be cured like on some other automatic watches (Omega, esp.) by simply letting the watch run out of power, and setting the date out of the 9:00 PM-4:00AM period which seems to be a critical one?
Thank you for your time and brgds,
TC
