Patek 3940 - different models
I purchased a new 3940 on 7/1/1987. On the "Certificate d'origine" the Reference model says 3940.
I've been trying to get an appraisal on the thing but most of the 3940 models I see for sale have a letter after the number.
3940
3940 P
3940 J
3940 R
3940 Series 2
What is the difference between these models?
TIA, davidn in Los Ggatos

There is no real problem at all. I'm just trying to figure out how much I should insure it for. I look at eBay and the prices for a 3940 are all over the map differing by $30,000 if not more. I wonder what the differences are in the watches. I've sent my ...
Thanks for the welcome.

Actually I've been a member of the forum for several years. It has been several years since I have posted anything. When I came here last week it showed some history at my email address but It wanted me to sign in with a secret word or some such thing. It...

I love the introduction! Thanks for the background. So nice of you to try to get your sons into fine timepieces. I am hoping my daughters will appreciate my watches when I pass it on to them. As for the Certificate of Origin it looks like one of the earli...
