My current dilemma

 
 By: Merke : May 6th, 2013-01:23
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

3970. 3940 [nt]

defintely the second option

 
 By: justindependent : May 6th, 2013-03:57
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

Easy for me

 
 By: no_frills : May 6th, 2013-07:26
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 th... 

this is the point

 
 By: Merke : May 6th, 2013-10:46
........ 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

I just happened to be wearing my 3940 today...

Perhaps better if I included the picture, sorry!

Here you go! 3940P, Corthay Cocteau shoes ...  

It always looks so good - I mean

 
 By: dr.kol : May 6th, 2013-11:20
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

 
 By: no_frills : May 6th, 2013-11:29
Just so perfectly proportioned. I love it.

Ok....picture!

 
 By: Merke : May 6th, 2013-13:02
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 ...  

Very good........

 
 By: Merke : May 6th, 2013-14:01
sensational .... I have almost convinced ....... ;-))))

Trust me: 3940 is great in all versions!

 
 By: dr.kol : May 6th, 2013-14:11
Best, Kari ...  

is a joke greatness?

;-)) I understand perfectly what you mean

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.....

 
 By: Merke : May 12th, 2013-14:01
....... 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!

 
 By: no_frills : May 12th, 2013-18:03
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!!!!

2nd!

Good luck with your choice.

If I were you, knowing 5970 is the watch and

 
 By: Mech : May 12th, 2013-17:14
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

 
 By: no_frills : May 13th, 2013-07:54
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...

 By: Merke : May 13th, 2013-12:48
....... 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...

 
 By: no_frills : May 13th, 2013-13:41
... 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

 
 By: Merke : May 13th, 2013-22:47
sorry but I absolutely did not want to violate the regulation ..... :-( (

I think we're doing OK, no mention of actual prices per se...

..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

 
 By: no_frills : May 14th, 2013-06:47
I am so in love with the 3970 I can't see straight whenever I look at it.
