Would you let go of a 3919J for a 5127J/5124G instead?
I have owned a Calatrava 3919J for over 20 years. It was the first PP I ever owned, a gift from my parents upon my college graduation. Other than its sentimental association, however, I have grown somewhat ambivalent about this watch, though I'm not sure ...
Never
If I got a Patek from my parents, 3919 or something else, I would never let it go, unless I need the money to buy bread.
Ordinarily I would have said, yes, why not if you like them more...but.
you will, in time regret it..in my opinion, if my Mum and dad had given me a swatch.....I would never part with it.. just my opinion Imran
I prefer the 5124G over a 3919J but
Hi, Like the others said I would not sell a watch offered to me, especially by my parents. I've never been offered a watch by someone else than myself, even after more than 20 years of declared passion. I have long hoped such thing to happen. It won't hap...
Thank you all for saving me from my folly
You are all correct: one should never part with such a gift from one's parents that marked a milestone. I will keep it. Thank you.
