"But they're cousins, identical cousins all the way."

"One pair of matching bookends, different as night and day."


The old Patty Duke Show comes to mind when I look at my latest watch, pictured with its "cousin." At the outbreak of the pandemic I found myself obsessing about the 3940, and set about looking for one in yellow gold as I considered that to be so classic. After passing on a first series (how I regret that), I ended up falling for a 3940R -- and then joined WatchProSite. I still longed for a yellow gold version, along with a display caseback so I could admire the movement. An opportunity to to acquire one, with a twist, presented itself recently as I picked up the 3941J. This reference was discontinued in 1990 as Patek allowed customers to order the 3940 with a display back, which would become standard in later series. My watch is from the last production year. I now have the happy problem of deciding which one to wear everyday -- a problem solved by switching between them while spending so much time at home. Enjoy the weekend everybody!

wearing one on each wrist at the same time ! Will your 3940 journey continue with another metal ?

That’s a good idea...

But what would I do with my Fitbit?!! If only the 3940 came with a step counter.
