Hi all,

As you know, I’m deep in (blue) love of my FP Journe Chronometre Bleu and I can’t stop taking pictures of it and playing with its incredible blue dial. So, I tried something “new” (at least for me) and I would like to know your thoughts.

I used a mobile app to isolate the blue dial of my watch in a B&W shot and only that (I always use my iPhone 6S to take all my pictures). I didn’t change the initial colour of the blue dial. I precise that I cropped the original shots too in order to delete the name of the app (not my intention to promote anything here... except watches 😁).

Below are the two shots I’ve selected. What do you think? Nice or not? Did you already use that kind of apps or not?

Thanks for your inputs.








Oops! I couldn’t miss this one 😁

Another shot taken this morning while stoping at the red light. I’m always amazed by the infinite variations of this dial. What a blue! Almost unreal (I precise that this picture is not retouched).



Best wishes

But I think that those digital post processing, when used in excess, are not nice. Cheers, Nilo

That’s why, here, I just wanted a B&W shot and a focus on this splendid blue dial by isolating it. For me, the result is nice but I wanted unbiased opinions to confirm or not mine 😁 Thank you for your input dear Nilo. Best wishes Alkiro

I think this CB dial is absolutely perfect for this “special effect” 😉 Best wishes Alkiro

I like the second shot where the dial color really pops out. Actually i see a different blue of the sub dial as well and the b&w surround makes it more visible.

I wander how the star wheel would look.
