Easy for me
3970J + 3940G for sure.
In fact, I have a 3970J... and a 3940P. Not quite the same, I know, but for the reasons dr kol stated, 3940 is just such a classic piece.
Also, the 5970J is a beautiful, beautiful piece but for me - and this is a highly personal thing - the track kind of clutters the dial a bit. On the plus side, it does give it a "sportier" look. It is also a bit bigger so for those with larger wrists they may prefer the 5970 versus the 3970. However, I prefer the 3970.
My current dilemma
a greeting to you, I decided to make my next purchase and are oriented on a 5970J or G. ... but reflecting on the figure in question I did not think the same money I can take these 2 watches together .. .. 3940G - 3970J ......... are very tight, what woul...
It would be easy for me but I don't know
about you. I would take the latter. Why? In my opinion perpetual at its beast is with automatic movements and 3940 is a great watch. Best, Kari
defintely the second option
if it is indeed for roughly the same money and you were definitely going to be making a purchase
My choice (probably) would be ...
3940G - 3970J, at least today :-) Good luck with your decision! Oliver

this is the point
........ the meaning of the post is just that, my wrist is 17.5 cm and I think a 5970 would be perfect for my wrist, but aesthetically I much prefer the 3970 .. 3940 ... the clock I see a tasty and I thought that with the same money that you take a 5970 I...
I had to check and my memory did not lie:
5970 is indeed 40 mm. Your wrist is 175 mm... I think that 36 mm looks elegant and perfect on your wrist. My wrist is 25 mm larger and I love to wear my 3940! Best, Kari
Perhaps better if I included the picture, sorry!
Here you go! 3940P, Corthay Cocteau shoes ...
It always looks so good - I mean
the watch, not the shoes... The more I am looking at 3940, the more I like it. Indeed, it is one of the greatest watches Patek ever made. Best, Kari
I never, ever get tired of looking at the 3940
Just so perfectly proportioned. I love it.
Ok....picture!
God forbid you did very well to enter the picture ........ because the clock is beautiful compliments to you for 3940
In case you need more photo proof
Shot of 3940P actually on my wrist: 3940P Shot of 3970J, not from me but presumably from a far more professional (and better) photographer: 3970J via ...
Shot I took of my 3940 in white metal earlier today
A 23 year old watch, as lovely as the day it was born! ...
Glad that you like those pictures...
... of my former 3970 (sadly gone). Indeed, Deniz made fantastic pictures of it you are right, and the one you picked up is just one out of many other gorgeous ones. Although I am far to be as his level, I can't resist to share some other ones that I did ...
thanks mike for the beautiful photos.....
....... let's say that I was already convinced to make 3970-3940 the forum gave me the confirmation that I waited, now I'm going to work to try both clocks ..... thanks again to everyone for the advice
Oh Mike - I LOVE the pics of your 3970J!
I should have known that 3970J was owned by someone from PuristSPro - I've got to say that it was such an awesome set of pics! Great photographer for sure - but because your timepiece was so awesome! I am a big fan of Aubercy too!!!!
If I were you, knowing 5970 is the watch and
you could only own one vs a 3970+3940 combo, I would still settle for the ONE that drives me crazy! The combo consideration sounds like a comprise to your options limited by money? I'm a manual wind guy, even though I love my 3940, the automatic movement ...
Mech, as usual, makes an important point here
Merke , do you really think the 5970 is the piece for you? It is larger than the 3970, boasts a tachymetre/track that renders it a bit more "sporty" than the 3970 (in my opinion), and the pushers and lugs are a bit different (some would say better, but th...
examination
....... perfect as your speech is perfect from the point of view of an amateur, but here in Italy in so many tell me that on a commercial level the choice of taking the 3970j - 3940g is wrong and the logical choice would be the 5970 .... hence my doubts, ...
We cannot discuss pricing here at PuristSPro...
... however, I think that if you base it on the secondary market in the US, at least, if you get a 5970J or 5970G for the price you would pay for a 3970J + 3940G... you would be losing money on that 5970! Hehehe. OK, that's all I'm posting re: relative va...
Ops...sorry
sorry but I absolutely did not want to violate the regulation ..... :-( (
I think we're doing OK, no mention of actual prices per se...
... but, just wanted to make sure I was on the right path!
Here's a pic for you....
..this might make it harder for you to decide, or perhaps easier (this is 'er' version). My wrist is wide yet very thin, measuring at 6.875 inches for visual comparison to others. ...
Hot darn that is a lovely picture
I am so in love with the 3970 I can't see straight whenever I look at it.
a picture more beautiful than the other
..... so not worth ;-)) is too simple for me to decide ...... thank you all for the answers and the work of conviction ..... that was 100% perfect ;-))
