Chronometre Souverain Platinum
I'm debating between a Patek 5196P and Chronometre Souverain Platinum.
Both are beautiful "simple" watches with similar dial characteristics.
What I like about the Journe is the reserve du marche and exhibition
back. Obviously, Patek has the advantage in name and reputation.
Both watches are about the same price. What I don't know is the
reliability of the Journe and customer service provided. I have read of
some reliability issues (mainly Octa) and would like to make the right
decision.
Can anyone who owns (or is very familiar with)
the Chronometre Souverain Platinum care to comment or even contrast the
2 watches I am comparing?
TIA!

38mm vs 40mm
I really appreciate the thoughtful comments - very helpful, indeed. I'm curios; has anyone come across a picture of the platinum 38mm & 40mm CS Souverain side-by-side? That would be interesting to look at.
