Its never easy to choose or pick 1, as there are just so many references! I guess the way to go about it is to follow a flow chart approach, and be cognisant of the fact that not every detail you want, is carried by a single referrence. The 3796dj, althou

I have a strong feeling, the 5196 will look like a pie pan on my wrist. I just worry about the extra small dial of the 3796 although I think its gorgeous . I will likely post another topic....to get opinions of the 5115 vs 3796. That's where my mind is go

But as you say you have around a 16cm wrist and you seem to prefer the style of the 3796 that would be my choice, after all it is a dress watch and as such is meant to look subtle and discreet. Also I have found that when moving to what I at first felt wa

I have been looking at the 3796 a lot lately, all versions of it. Like you, in the digging / research that I’ve done I have only seen references to the White Gold Japanese LE. But I was not necessarily looking for that, it just so happened it comes up a l

A small 3998P Calatrava and no regrets. My dealer there was pleasant to deal with, had great reviews, and had a friend come over who worked at Henri Stern to open it up and also had the crystal replaced for me there. Actually wearing exactly that watch to

Thanks. I guess my impression of the seller is that he didn't know exactly what he had (meaning the specialness of the sapphire back on a 3796). I found him in the diamond district 47th St. in Manhattan - and so there is a bit of hit and miss with reputat
