There is so much individual handwork in the Patek, thus its orbital price, that if there is an analogy, it might be closer to the Leicas and Leitz lenses produced 30 and more years ago when machinery didn't exist to produce in the current manner and Leitz had to rely on much more detailed handwork. At least that's what I hear from such as Sherry, Don Goldberg, John Van Stelten and others. Seth LaK 9 - -- To unsubscribe, see http://mejac.palo-alto.ca.us/leica-users/unsub.html
