Please, we are not going all over this again

Dear Nicolas,

We already had this disccusion in the other post (and before) and, don't take it wrong, but I really find your interventions are partial.

Everybody is free to express opinions of course but in each post you try to find the most negative things, anytime you can (Patek is not the only one).

You're someone very knowledgeable with a strong vintage historical experience and I respect you as many here but this is annoying when done repeatedly and when it seems to be "biased".

We're here talking about a very few pieces and you present them as if it was flooding with new versions. Bruno presents 1 old ref (how many were there before the London editions? nearly none) and you depict like if it was another of the very numerous ones.

Finding from time to time one or two 1-shot watches doesn't make them opining a Pandora's box and ruining the brand with overflooding with limited editions.

I didn't hear that you were so severe with your favorite brand: the many dials and tributes we had these last years, colors, the limited edition for movies (Batman, Mad Men etc....) etc... You should recognize this is another volume level about exploiting a product.

I know you expect a lot from Patek and other high-end brands and maybe this is your "guts" speaking but it doesn't feel objective and neutral, at least to me.

Tell me if I'm wrong of course but I think you're to severe on that matter and I would love that we don't talk again and again of the same thing when it was already discussed and replied with other strong arguments, just to punish them or as a will to make harm only.

Hope you don't mind I speak frankly Nicolas but this is how I feel.

Cheers, Mark
