F.P. Journe

And yes, I could not resist taking a photo with Yokozuna, aka "the nap model" 🤪 Already ordered several customs strap to make the dial pop more so I have to play the patient game again 🤷‍♂️ ...  

...  

We don’t see many of those incoming any more. Lucky you. Wear in best of health. It loves straps as well as it loves nice day light. It’s a lot of fun. Enjoy!

Will definitely try some strap options to give it a more personal look once I receive the straps I ordered 😁😉

This is one of the most desirable watches in the market today, only natural to see it in your awesome collection.

Also helps that I have been collecting for 27 years now and in the that time have made many purchases throughout the years. This CB, I feel, was granted to me through fellow FPJ owners helping and vouching for me. I thank them all for their friendship and... 

Some of the many shoe options...... ...  

Watch I have coveted but out of my reach...

Enjoy it in good health.

I would have loved to submit a few photos as Abel came up with a nice theme but was too late to enter before the thread was closed for judging. Hopefully, I can post another time 👍

My favorite watch! ...  

Great watch! And a cool model as well!

You will have lots of fun with straps...this one works with just about anything.

Love the CB, and the blue dial + tantalum is an amazing combo! Your cat seems less excited about it though

Somewhat surprised that it was not in your collection prior to this. nevertheless, a real collectable piece, wear it in good health.

This time around, I have learned to appreciate the unique color and properties of tantalum case and the freakishly cool blue dial. Definitely a keeper 😉👍

I always liked this FP Journe timepiece. I hope to own one someday too!

And so sorry I finnaly could not join for the remittance timing was really too short. Obviously next time we see each other there will be a lot to see, at least 3 if I don't mistake... (this one + the young granny + the crazy insane non sense unreal amazi... 

As for showing you the 3 pieces, hopefully soon but I might have a couple of surprises to add to the list between now and then 😉 😜 Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays my friend. Stay safe 🙏

TS hi ...  

...but huge congrats on acquiring such a wonderful piece! Your patience has paid off, to be sure. ;-)

Great to see that patience pays off! I wish you many happy hours together. Here’s mine on straps from A Collected Man. This is a watch that goes well with a wide range of strap colors. Claus ...  

What is the average wait time for an FPJ piece? 2 years seems a long time but for this piece, I’d really do it. So simple, so original, yet so great. This is stealth, I can imagine friends saying nice watch, and replying :”yea thanks, got this as a x-mas ... 

A lot can happen in two years, one's interest might wane and if you are old enough, you won't have much time to enjoy the item you waited for so long. That said, the average wait time for an FPJ varies with model and for the Bleu it is a lot more than 2 y... 

I don't think I could wait as long for anything else in the future as I do agree that anything could happen in the near future. Sadly, the direction of the watch industry has forced some if not most of us, to wait for certain models, ie: been waiting for ... 

I can say the CB is a superb and fun watch which will get lots of wear from me. Is it worth the wait, that depends on each individual I guess 🤔 🤷‍♂️

Great value for what it offers !! From Old archive, gone but not forgotten - some regrets are worth the lesson isn’t it 😜 ...
