You have a great collection with some rare pieces, such as the 5131. Cheers Gordon

This write up proves that Patek at times used movements from JLC. Nothing wrong with that it proves JLC is also a very good brand. 2nd to Patek , my opinion. Cheers & best to all. Geross.

This kind of posts make it worth to visit this page. Best, Kari

You have a very nice Patek collection. Do not hesitate to post others photos of your marvels. Cheers, Patrickh

It is full of history and information. For example, I did not know Patek previously had the face of a person printed/engraved on the moon phase disc. Thank god, they do not do it anymore. Best Jim

I discussed about this one lately with a fellow purist and this is for sure a fantastic square Patek. Cheers, Mark

Dear All, Many thanks for your kind works. This will certainly encourage me to publish a little bit more often. I have several articles of same vein that I posted elsewhere. I just need to find the time to translate and update them. Kind regards, DCC

I already told you what I thought of your article and we really appreciated it. Congratulations again for your very fine 5200, a lot to love in this reference and it will give you very nice wearing time. No rush for the following ones but you know it will...

The 9-90 is one of my favourite movements and forms a large part of my collection. I did a similar write up a few years ago but the focus was on the 9-90 movement only Thank you so much for your time and effort in putting together such an informative arti... 

If this is an indication of your typical post, please take all the time you need for the next one. That was such an informative read. A topic which I must honestly say I was not necessarily aware of really caught my attention with the history and detail. ...

Not to dig up a 6 year old thread, but wow just wow. I'm researching this very thing now and this post probably cut my research time in half easily. This is why it's so important to keep a history of these posts. The amount of information in this thread i... 

Thanks so much. Looking forward to reading it carefully tonight. I started being involved with watches in the 80’s where you’d find these in superb condition, certainly more often than today.

And the community of watch aficionados - great responses after so many years, adding perspective to the conversation. Glad I came across this thread.
