The seal has no logic
The seal has no logic, as everyone has already stated. They have their name on the dial, buckle, movement, case, its all over the place. That is their seal of quality.
In the long run, this move will hurt them as quality could fall and still the seal would be in place. If other brands are smart, they will use it against them in advertising. Now Patek is stuck as they can't go back. Having an outside stamp of quality is just good marketing period. Rolex doesn't need that COSC certificate, but they are smart to keep up with it. It's just something we have all grown to trust over the years and it shows they are willing to be inspected by a third party.
It's all about marketing and having your own seal is just not good marketing in my mind.

No logic at all....just marketing arrogance. It has actually put me off a bit. In this aspect I prefer the Journe attitude of "my watches are accurate and highly finished enough for me - so I don't need to subscribe to any external services, seals or test...

Personally, I don't care about the seal, either of them. What I care about is to see the Patek-Philippe mark on the dial.. and that the watch is performing the way a Patek should, the way that Antoine Patek and Adrien Philippe would want it to be..the bes...
