***The OFFICIAL Patek 3940 Appreciation Thread***

The Patek 3940 walks lightly but carries a big stick. It’s such an unassuming marvel of a watch. A gorgeous and perfectly organized dial that is legible and so nice to look at.

When GREAT things come in SMALL packages.

Please post your pics of this great reference.

Such a classy watch! Very beautiful! Major congrats. I love the look of the new strap, it goes perfectly and gives it a little bit of a sporting feel.

Thank you! Your feedback is good advice. I don’t plan to let this one (it’s a P as well) go.

That watch is always classy and beautiful. Love your pics my friend! The sunny SoCal weather really helps.

It’s 48 and cloudy here. The weather worm has turned!

Beautiful! Do you have the details of your strap? Is it a Patek? CF? Looks like a shiny dark brown? Appreciate any info you may have.

It is a Patek strap, shiny brown/ red. I've swapped it for a slightly padded Patek shiny black croc.
