I recently stumpled upon a blog article about a similar

Dec 10, 2012,20:42 PM
 

story comparing 3940 and the 5140 and was very 'shocked' to see it used my photos (posted in this thread) without seeking my prior permission. 


The author has since rectified it.

Out of curiosity, I searched the internet and found some of my pictures of my speedy and moser also ended in the similar fate. All of them I posted here in watchprosite.com m

sometimes I wonder perhaps my photography skill isn't too crappy,  so they attracted quite a few admirers? or is the purist portal so popular it has becomes a reference site  smile

so if you like my photos of my watches, you're free to use them so long you drop me an email first. 

I'd be more than happy to grant you the permission to use them appropriately. 

Really, it's no hassle and I won't bite, and I'm not a professional photographer so I haven't thought about asking a tidy sum from you. smile

meanwhile still on the lovely Patek Perpetual topic, here's a picture of my 3940G. 

Now can you spot the difference between it and the 5140G? smile

no prize for answering it right.

enjoy your week

Mech.

What a nice and great pair of PC PP you have! Unbelievable! You made it. I didn't even think to get 2 pcs from the same brand, you did it, and it seems that you did it right! A nice evolution of a Classic. Best, my friend. Nicolas

Hi Mech, Congratulations on getting the extra size. The 5140 is one of these very few and extraordinary examples with the increased watch even better (to some extent and for me) than the already (near) perfect former smaller piece! I unfortunately don't h...

The 3940 and so the 5140 are imho the most emblematic product of Mr Philippe Stern Era. Slim Perpetual Calendar, perfect balance, so much elegance, no other perpetual can directly compare to it imho. Great pair, thanks for sharing Francois
