Before you go on another tirade...
You should understand exactly what you are speaking about. Patek makes slight changes all the time which is why there are 1st, 2nd, 3rd series etc. Patek doesn't make mistakes in assembly as you suggested in earlier post. Their quality control is second to none! As for variances Patek used the second chrono hand with wider bottom beginning in 3rd series and have carried that through with other PC Chrono's. My 3970 was bought new and is a 3rd series and came with the second chrono hand. Again- before you start ranting and going on a tirade perhaps do a bit more homework.
Oh and by the way - the watch looks simply amazing regardless of your opinion!! If you don't like it and want an earlier model that is your preference but your suggestions to me are plain silly. Peace out....LOL

Peculiar behavior of Patek
Considering the meticulous documentation Patek goes through in their manufacture and service, I am really puzzled that they just go ahead and replace the chrono sec hands during the service without asking the permission of the owner. The new bigger bottom...
