Patek Philippe: Very well said!

Consumers are getting more well informed these days due to the advent of technology and social media. I believe Patek is realising this.. Their Instagram game however, is a little Johnny come lately.. Well, better late than never..

Patek Philippe: Catch here is that...

the so called "aesthetic perfection" is not guaranteed under optical magnification... So unless you can see those subpar finishings with your naked eyes, I guess Patek wins.

Patek Philippe: The "chatters" are machining marks that weren't polished out during the beveling process..

My own Patek shows the same sloppy finishing (as shown in photo below):

Patek Philippe: These are really very well taken macro shots!!

May I know what's your macro setup? As in what camera/lens? Light tent? Thanks!

Patek Philippe: With the volume (Approx. 50,000 - 60,000pa) of watches that Patek is churning out now...

I doubt they can cope with doing "quality" hand finishing on every piece of their movements. And by quality, I mean at the level of certain equivalent Geneva Seal pieces, say a Vacheron Constantin or even a Chopard L.U.C 1.96.
