Thank you

Wow!  This is a great forum.  I only posted a couple of hours ago and already have some great responses.  Thank you.

To MW:  Several things attract me to the 5970.  In no particular order:

* My personal view is that this is the most attractive watch I have ever seen.   Tastes differ, but this watch suits mine perfectly.  I just love the way it looks.  Classic.  Elegant.  Somewhat understated, but with a little "ping."  To me, the 5970 gets it right.  

* The reputation of Patek as a watch maker of the highest quality.  

* The desire to own a true heirloom piece that can be passed down in the family.   

*  My belief that Patek watches tend to hold their value over time better than most other brands.  (But believe me, I am not under the illusion that watches in general, including Pateks, are wise investments and would not spend $110k on a watch for this reason alone).

* The desire to own at least one "stretch" piece.  Something that you don't see everyday.  Don't get me wrong, I love my Daytona and Submariner, but I am attracted to the idea of owning something that is truly special.  Something that is not being worn by half the VP's at Goldman, MS etc.
