Actually, ... pretty bad examples!

Register by this method with each Patek purchase. Always get confirmation? Sorry about your experience.

"Holding it's value" is a characteristic that pales in comparison to "what matches" the things in her waredrobe for my wife?

There's no question in my mind that the mechanical watch is superior. I asked my wife (who has an array of different Patek's), however, and she couldn't care less about the mechanical movement.

Pull up a picture of a 5712G. It will look funny if the edges of the strap don't match the edges of the case. Just my opinion.

It's not exactly the same dial, but you get the idea. Classic layout of day and month apetures. BTW, I don't have a 5396 and therefore I'm not insulted either way? I just think the 5396 is a viable consideration when the conversation involves Patek AC's.

Take a look at the Reardon book and compare the 5396 to References from the 40's and 50's that have apetures. They're not AC's but the dial layouts are unquestionably where the 5396 has its roots.
