My new FPJ! 2019 Resonance!
Hi guys, very new here but I thought ill do my part and post a few photos of my new watch and do a soft intro as well to get in the community 
So initially I was craving the Chronometre Optimum black label and was sort of set on getting that as I find the mechanism spectacular and above anything very fascinating as a movement geek. However whilst I was at the boutique, the manager said he also had 1 last 2019 Resonance in the safe and asked if I wanted to take a look at it. I said why not? Obviously I knew that the resonance is a very iconic model for Journe and that there was a new 2020 version coming in March/April time (albeit with a corresponding price increase to reflect a "newer" movement).
Unfortunately for me and my wallet today, I fell in love with the watch. You guys are experts in all the various versions and details so I wont go into that but man this 2019 really captured my imagination! I had to have it. So I switched targets as the manager also advised me that if I wanted the optimum in the future, I could still order it but the resonance for 2019 is finished and that pushed me over the edge.
Anyhow! here are some photos:
A variety of straps to choose from, went for the matte grey in the end as I tend to dress alot in grey!
I know, very boring, all grey haha also yes, my wrists are very thin! That is also an FPJ pocket square that I was gifted along with alot of other freebies

A warm welcome to our community....
Can I start by saying that the photo of the FPJ on your whist with the grey suit on looks very sharp. Great style. Personally speaking I don’t think that you can go far wrong with and FPJ and if you decide to change it in the future plenty of people will ...
Congratulations!
Great choice and fantastic watch! The Optimum is also terrific but you are right that you can get that later Enjoy
A BIG congratulations- the Resonance is my favorite watch...
I think you made a very smart move. This Resonance is a super nice version with the most legible dial af all the versions. Besides that, it is also quite rare by number since it was only produced I 2019. The Optimum, is as you say, also available at a lat...
magnificient
what a refreshing and cool way to go. somehow classic and yet totally fresh
There are different views on this but many believe the Resonance to be the watch not closely associated with Journe.
And, if the means allow for it, no Journe collection should be without one. (Obviously this isn’t possible for many of us for many reasons but I speaking of the ideal scenario). In this respect I think you have made a great choice. BUT more importantly yo...
Thank you for your post, if you have a moment, I would like to know more!
Thank you, when you say the watch not closely associated with Journe, you mean that its not really a mechanism he made? I would like to know what you meant as it seems like a very interesting perspective!
I believe he meant to say "MOST", not "not" ;)
Welcome to the forum and what a great watch! I love this version and had to add it to my collection as well! Congrats!
