clean my Patek every night after wearing one ! OCD or not ? Cheers, Gordon
You're THE man Gordon!
Nothing like setting a good example for others to follow. Nah, sorry, I do not call it OCD at all - it is you looking after the watch the best you can for the next generation! You are merely following the Patek ethos to the T!!

PuristS buddies , right ? Cheers, Gordon
There are other possibilities
True. Only not cushion shaped cases that the current Mrs MTF has veto power... We are L.U.C XP Urushi buddies! If you get the L.U.C 1963 Chronograph PuristS Edition in steel, we can be Chronograph buddies for sure... Regards MTF
