New old Patek
 
Dear All

I finally joined the Patek club - albeit in very entry-level way. A late 60s 3512. It's running very fast but I hope it simply magnetised (lepsi app suggests so)

Chuffed nonetheless as its a lovely companion to my other watches

Nice! Congratulations :cheers:

Wears quite big for a 60s watch, what is the size of the case?

If it is indeed magnetised you can buy a cheap de-magnetiser of Amazon, for me it worked like a charm.

Thank you... It is only a 31mm diameter case excluding crown. I have small wrists, but it is also possible the angle.

I am bringing it to a watchmaker tomorrow to de-magnetise it. Hopeful that's all it is.https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...a1777092b6.jpg

Actually, those 30-32mm watches look great on the wrist. I have a 3796 and 3923 both 30.5mm and I never think they are too small on my 6.5 wrist.

I think it's because they are so slim compared with modern watches....

Thanks
