Horological Meandering: My Trip to the West Coast to meet Purists - JLC g2g & #LaWatchGang

Patek Philippe: i think...

.... or rather i've heard that if a name or something is crossed off of the cert or it's altered that they wont honor it, meaning that if something were to happen in the first two years from the date on the cert, they wouldn't cover the repair and it would be out of pocket... i'm sure you can get it

Patek Philippe: I'd hate to admit it but

the price is some what justified.... are the prices excluding a level of clientle? yes, i believe so... who knows what the future holds... because of this very reason i purchased a 5711/1A when i found out about the increase from 25,600 to 26,700!

Patek Philippe: haha

.. its not that bad.. good job on the creation... but its not the best looking watch... its a schizophrenic watch.. trying to be both dressy and sporty but ultimately too much of both and cant work either way... doesnt make sense... but love the creations you come up with! bests
