Patek or Jaeger-LeCoultre

I know I am on Patek forum so be kind with me...
I am a great fan of Jaeger-LeCoultre, and I count 5 of them (Diving Pro, Polaris Platinum, Navy Seals Alarm, Compressor Tides Of Time and a vintage).
For some personal reasons (servicing, after sales service, and some more), I plan to change brand.
As a watch lover, I have been allways dreaming about Patek Philippe. I love the annual calendar for example.
Does some others like me made the same decision? What do you think about?
I don't know the Patek barnd very well. I have a large wrist so I have large watches. What model would fit my wrist?
Best regards.

Marc

The correct word is more switch

By: mamac : March 3rd, 2011-10:27

I would have say Switch in place of Changing. That mean to go from Jaeger-LeCoultre brand to Patek brand Best Marc

Hi....

Do you mean that for personal reasons you will sell your JLC watches and get a PP? Cheers

Yes that's right ;-)

Well....

By: MiniCooper : March 3rd, 2011-10:36

if I were you, I would take a step back and do this if I were absolutely right... Meaning, that you want to sell them for the right reasons for you, whatever they are... You know best.... As far as the question of size, PP watches are smaller than the JLC...

That was going to be my next question [nt]

Go slow ...

By: AndrewD : March 3rd, 2011-16:23

Hi Marc, My advice is to go slow, particularly if you are contemplating this change because of a grievance with the company. These annoyances are often short-lived and can be resolved with effective communication. And you are planning a big change from sp...

That quote of about grass being greener is classic :)

Out of curiosity, what is the push from JLC to pull you over to PP?

By: patrickmaniac : March 4th, 2011-00:27

The service from Richemont is letting you down? or anything specific? cheers PAt

here is my experience with jaeger lecoultre singapore this year

By: xsw : March 4th, 2011-01:27

i just bought an ultra thin and there was a fiber in the watch dial.. how can a fiber end up inside a watch dial! i got it replaced a few weeks later.. Ive also got an issue with my watch strap (it is "worn" on the sides) visited them and the answer i got...

Then be very cautious...

By: johnswatch1 : March 4th, 2011-06:39

Your treatment by the JLC boutique sounds terrible but don't expect better service from Patek. There's plenty of examples on the forum where the Patek attitude to customers has rubbed many up the wrong way. Imagine being treated as if you're lucky to be a...

Thanks for sharing and definitely more stories over at the PP forum.

By: patrickmaniac : March 4th, 2011-07:41

But die hard PP fans will tell you that it's part and parcel of owning the "Ferrari". cheers PAt

Did you go back to Richemont direct or the boutique/AD?

By: patrickmaniac : March 4th, 2011-07:42

cheers PAt

i went to richemont, afterall i wasnt getting any help at the JLC boutique

By: xsw : March 4th, 2011-09:44

i only we nt to boutique for the watch strap issue. it was a waste of my time and i walked out of there feeling really bad after getting such patronising attitude. i was told it is *my fault* for not checking properly before buying. i went to richemont fo...
