I promised more photos and observations. Here's the watch, a 3940P: I think it was Nicolas (amanico) who said that I should go with the 3940 rather than the 5140 because, even though it lacked the immediate charisma, it would grow on me. That's already ha...  

IMHO it is the type of calm focus charisma

I have been toying with this reference for a long time The plat model is def the one to get Big congrats Julian

I love following stories where the community play a small part the adventure. Great community. Enjoy your new baby and i am sure you daughter will be happy to share it with you. Bill

a wonderful community you/we have built here. As for my daughter, I am hoping to live a long time, so she'll be learning a little lesson in deferred gratification. : )

Fits you perfectly. Thanks for the update and photos Wear it in good health. Ps : I have 2 daughters 20 and 23. The have phones and Fitbits and don’t understand why you need a watch that only tells time and date. Our horological masterpieces are lost on t... 

the tragedy of youth is that it's wasted on the young ...

The kids prefer those so called smartwatch compared to our soulwatch

and enjoy her in great health

I'm usually the one who says, "the watch is stunning and perfect on you, but I couldn't pull it off on my wrist." It's only fair that someone else should say that to me once in a while. : )

A stunning watch, perhaps I’m biased as I’m a great fan of platinum. Use caution with your daughter(s); now she is 20 merely says that she would take it right now. Wait few more years, they get infected, they don’t want to wait they take your watches they... 

wear in the best of your health !! Best, mahesh.,

My 3940G says hi: Enjoy your 3940 in good health! The watch is a true classic! ...  

I particularly love how sunlight casts shadows on the dial and reveals its three-dimensionality. And very cool strap!

here in rose.... ...  

The RG version of this reference is very classic and alluring; I love it!

I am looking at getting a 3940 and I think I now know which metal I want!

...I can only say, as someone with a 7.25" wrist, this is a perfect size. I tried on the R version that a friend has and it was fantastic. This is the watch that I will almost certainly end up owning someday. It is a classic for a very good reason. I migh... 

I was wondering what’s your wrist size? I am hesitating with the 5140 and believe we may have the same wrist size. Kev

six inches on my left wrist; 6.5 on my right.

The watch, and the plan for passing it on. Clearly, the 3940 is a gentleman‘s watch, worthy of gentlemen exactly like you! Daniel

It’s my smallest watch and thus the one most likely to be passed down to, and actually worn by, one of my daughters.

I’m thinking the 3940 would be perfect for them as well.

Congratulations. And some insightful observations.
