Platinum Pateks: Better with or without diamonds?
Hello gentlemen, What is everyone's opinion on platinum pateks with the small diamond embedded in the case at 6 o'clock between the lugs? It irks me just a little bit, as on some watches it seems out of character (5196, 5146 even 5960) as they are to my eye more classically styled. A diamond seems too modern a twist and a bit incongruous. I personally wish it were possible to buy a platinum Patek without one. What does everyone else think? Anyone know the history/reason why the Stern's decided to do this?Certainly no disrespect to anyone that has one; on the contrary I'd like to hear about it. Did the diamond affect your decision to buy one? Is it visible while wearing it? Mike

Can't believe I am asking this PAM winding question...

Would love to see an all gold Datejust at Basel
I don't really need the day portion of the day date (i don't love the look and find it unnecessary), but would love an all gold datejust, as it just looks cleaner to me. The cost being lower would be an additional benefit. So my Basel wish is to have something like the watch below, in 40mm. Why hasn't this been carried forward?(watch pictured is not mine!)
