Hmm.. there is also a black label 24hr version correct?
May 03, 2019,13:09 PM
Do you like black..? It really depend whether you like the 24hr dial or not. If not, just wait till new version kick in and compare the two model and see which one you like. If you like the 2019 version better than the 2020 then you can always try to get it preown in the market or maybe through Journe Patrimoine. Regarding this value question.. I try not to go into this topic.. but i think the early yellow dial, tokyo and the Pisa are some nice ones.

The new F.P. Journe Chronomètre à Résonance or the old one?
By: GreatPilot@me.com : May 3rd, 2019-12:11
Hi all, I have an opportunity to purchase the new Journe Resonance with the 24 hour dial at 9 o’clock. I have read all I can about the movement and how resonance works. The watch has been in production for 18 years and is being discontinued in 2020 with a...

I cannot find a Black label version of the 2019 model and don’t think I would want it...JIm
Teacher you are correct
By: GreatPilot@me.com : May 4th, 2019-09:20
There is a black label version I found, see below, it is beautiful but I want the RG on the braclet...JIm ...
This would be the first RG bracelet

I’ve ever owned, I mostly think they are to ostentatious, this one is very thin and not so much a statement but seems elegant...Jim
Personally I do not like this 2019 dial. Here’s why:
By: Jay (Eire) : May 3rd, 2019-17:08
Firstly, this was never the intended usage for this watch. It was not a two time zone, that was never the point and Journe himself I understand was somewhat adamant about that. And while the maker is obviously entitled to revisit this with this 2019 dial,...
I completely understand your concern
By: GreatPilot@me.com : May 3rd, 2019-18:31
As the watch was originally supposed to have both dials sync. Personally I like the two time zones but it goes away from it’s original intent...Jim
You hav a good point Jay
By: GreatPilot@me.com : May 4th, 2019-08:46
In fact I only find 9-10 of the Resonance FPJ for sale, non of them on bracelets. I haen’t been able to find pricing on the bracelet only ricing on a strap and I fear it will be a big premium, I will ask the boutique today...Jim
Agreed but
By: GreatPilot@me.com : May 4th, 2019-08:51
I don’t find one on a bracelet used and the last run of 2019 may have it’s upside. I love the functionality but the the 24 Timezone is a function I use often. Good choices to have...Jim
I would personally go with the original dial version
By: cmmnsens : May 6th, 2019-07:55
But if I were going with a 2019 version, I would go with the Black Label as first choice. In your case, since it seems like you are keen on the RG version with bracelet - the only tweak I would do is to switch the dial to WG. I think the contrast will be ...
Great idea,
By: GreatPilot@me.com : May 6th, 2019-14:42
I will ask about changing the dial...Jim
Great watch

Dear Jim Apologies for my belated reply. There has already been made a lot of good points, so I can only add very little. My eyes had to get used to the new dial (as is often the case) but I really like it, the more I see it. I have the old symmetric vers...
Thanks Christian

Great interview with Mr. Journe and very helpful advice...Jim
I really like this version.
By: Horo_Traveler : May 9th, 2019-17:38
As a matter of fact, I’ve decided to purchase it. There’s a lot of controversy about exactly how the resonance principle works, but I borrowed a friends watch and can tell you it just works. I wore it for a few weeks and the timekeeping is spot on. More i...
That makes two of us Horo
By: GreatPilot@me.com : May 20th, 2019-17:38
That really like this watch! Let us know when you get yours...Jim
I’m so happy to read your post
By: ChristianDK : May 20th, 2019-22:12
And I fully concur. In my experience, what will bring it out of sync is usually a small shock. I’m left handed and I was hammering some food out of a tin with my hand. I noticed the seconds hand fell a bit out of sync. However the two balances will slowly...
Thank you.

It is posts by you and others that drew my attention to the Resonance to begin with! I'll write a review after I have had an opportunity to experience the watch for a couple of months.
