Wisely I don’t know, the premium for first series is actually very high but I choose by passion only… and I enjoy this one tremendously so that’s the only thing that matters 😉

I can feel the words come from your heart, you are so much right about loving this watch! Actually 3940 is a pure beauty in every metal (in my long horological journey I have owned all four metal versions) and they are all amazing.
