I know of which you speak.
When I find a watch that truly serves my purpose, I wear it incessantly. I had a Patek Philippe 3940 that I wore nearly every day for over a decade. That watch was worn by me all over the World in all kinds of weather. I would be wearing it still except that it became too difficult for me to read. Now I am onto a Patek Philippe 5320. It’s easier for me to read, but I still miss my 3940. Been wearing a Patek Philippe 3970 a lot lately. There is something very “Under the Radar” about the 3940 that really appeals to me.
I've worn this watch every day but two since the day it arrived in the mail, February 17th.
And the two days I chose to wear something else--my AP one day, the JD another-- I did so out of guilt for neglecting my other watches. So I guess I must really like it. A combination of loving the vintage look, being very comfortable, and the metal brace...

I still have the two-tone DateJust that I wore every day for years back in the '80s-'90s when it was my only watch. Also still have my Navitimer, another watch I wore for a couple years straight.
But that was back before I would say I was a collector, just wore a watch to tell time. Although I did collect vintage pieces before that but eventually sold them all before starting to collect again the early 2000s. At this point in my life I prefer unde...
I feel the same about the 3940/3970
Their modest dimensions make them very nice daily watches. I'm extremely fortunate to own the 5040 (Breguet hands and numerals), which I wear regularly. Its rounded tonneau case makes it slip very easily under essentially every shirt I own. The 3970 is a ...
I can't blame you
It's a great model. JLC's Master Control line from the late 90's / early 2000's was fantastic. ...
I had that very same watch
I liked it better than the moon phase version. I had to buy the bracelet separately Really luxurious on the wrist and very pleasing to look at. Don't feel guilty when a JLC asserts itself in your watch box.
Master Date...
such a great piece and the forerunner up to the Master Moon. Even though the 5-link bracelet looks more in touch with modern times, the "rice grain" style of bracelet is MUCH more comfortable and doesn't show scratches nearly as easily. Congrats on a 25 y...
