But my wife would kick me in the head for spending this kinda money during coronavirus, and I would become a suffering Simpsons or Southpark character.
That said i don't worry about leaking batteries. I trust FPJ has sourced a good one, and FPJ aside a lot old quartz batteries on Beta21 or Oysterquartz have not leaked. And of course, keep the crown screwed-up properly. Chk

Are you happy with your watch? Any owners feedback on the Elegante for a prospective buyer like me?
I picked up the watch today

The Elegante fits very well. I am fussy when it comes to wrist fit, and my wrist is rather small (typically I use the widest hole of a short Male strap, or the narrowest hole of a regular Male strap). The watch reassures me that it's there. Put another wa...

In fact, the last time I asked at SIHH 2019, a very large percentage of Elegante owners were existing FPJ clients. There were still newcomers to the brand and this was no small percentage too. Just goes to say that FPJ is able to enter a new market niche ...

Maybe I'm paranoid about leaking batteries...

A lovely lady I know showed me her visibly destroyed Cartier when the battery leaked, you could see the dial was changing. She was distraught, but we went to Cartier together to see what could be done. Cartier had to replace the dial, the movement, the cr...

I have hoped to keep fewer watches, but could not resist this one. I took about 3 seconds between trying it on and going "yup, may I place an order for one of these?" Most of my questions to the boutique had to do with delivery, buckle and strap choice in...
Perfect casual elegance

This watch is so cool. Elegant and easy going. The strap color underlines that well. The blue is nice as well but also adds more contrast. I have a personal preference for the grey one.
