Hello, I'm switching to wearing mostly sports style watches now so I'm willing to move my beloved special edition BMOP Resonance made for Sincere Fine Watches to someone who can love it. Full complete set and it was serviced by the manufacturer in April 2016. It was not polished during the servicing.
Watch from circa 2006.
Case, movement, and buckle are pink gold and all are signed F.P. Journe.
Case width is 40.5mm and thickness is about 9mm.
I have an extra black crocodile strap from F.P. Journe that is included.
Includes the outer box; presentation box; Certificate of Origin signed by F.J. Journe himself that indicates the watch is 1 of 10 created uniquely for Sincere; F.P. Journe cleaning cloth; instruction manual; F.P. Journe service papers, service box.
Please PM me with your contact info if interested. Face-to-face deal in NYC preferred. Also am willing to ship (all shipping & insurance costs are extra and not included in my price)

Not really interested in trades anymore unless you have a Patek Philippe sports-style reference. Feel free to tell me what PP ref you have to offer, complete sets only.

BMOP

that dial looks black....not BMOP... am I missing something? No disrespect intended...

It's not the green-blue MOP that is typically used in other watches

By: Joepny : October 2nd, 2016-16:25

that's what everyone knows about MOP and frankly the well-known green-blue or blue-green MOP is a love or hate kind of affair. Don't worry I had to research it too. With the BMOP Resonance, what FPJ did was selected a very dark (red underlying color) MOP ...

I'm a bit confused too on the BMOP designation

By: HauteWind : October 4th, 2016-10:28

The texture on the dial just doesn't look like any version of MOP that I've seen. It's way too smooth. Perhaps it's just the camera angle that not flattering the MOP dial. I'm not insinuating that the OP is being misleading, I'm not not seeing what I woul...

It is a different MOP

By: Joepny : October 4th, 2016-15:20

haha...man, you guys are coming out of the woodwork. but no offense taken. it's a fair enough question. it's a royal pain to take a picture of this dial at the right angle to see the MOP colors. basically the BMOP that FPJ chose for my Sincere piece is a ...

Thanks, Joe.

Didn't mean to challenge you and put you on the defensive. It's a just a different looking MOP than I've ever seen on a Journe. I do believe it's MOP and it's an incredible piece with a beautiful and unique dial. Best, Jonathan

Thanks for the kind words Jonathan

No worries at all.

Great watch and one of my favorite versions of the Resonance

By: schen : January 24th, 2017-19:20

If I am not mistaken, this should be Sincere BMOP Resonance RG in limited edition of 10 in 2004. The dial is black-lacquered MOP, which is pure black, different from natural black MOP. Journe has used quite a few MOP dials for a number of models including...

Thanks Schen for leaving your thoughts

my research indicates the first series from FPJ for Sincere LE was circa 2005 which my watch is part of. (My sources are old postings by SJX and AndrewD.). And then a second series for Pt rolled out that same year. Cheers.
