I like the simple elegance of Patek Philippe watches. That watch has a great deal going for it, with Breguet numerals, moon hands, and tear-drop lugs. That watch will continue to appreciate in value, so you are wearing an investment.

That case size is considered small by many people today, but I think it is just fine for an average-sized wrist. It is in keeping with the Patek Philippe idea of understated elegance.

Yeah, that's actually the reason I went with that one - the smaller size. I'm a pretty thin guy, about 155 at 5'11, and I have fairly small wrists. So, the smaller size and the Breguet numeral cinched the deal for me.

Do you have any photos of watches that you like?

Here are actual photos of a few watches that I have owned and sold. I do not usually take photos of watches I still own. I do own the first watch, however, i.e., the Breguet. As you can tell by the quality of the photos, these are photos that I took myself. Photographing watches is an art form in itself, one that I never mastered. For example, that is a reflection on the Patek, not anything wrong with the watch. Damn, posting photos in posts is a nightmare. I need to stop at three, as I am in the midst of packing. The Breguet is from the 1990s, the Longines from the 1940s, and the Patek from the 1930s.
