Agreed!
I'd give one kidney, some bone marrow and half my liver for that piece.
Brad and Douglas - you made me smile
I find the ruthenium calendrier nicer than the YG dial.
I forget the Vagabondage story. I'll try to refresh.
Are there any VG2's left?
I've bought way too many MBF's Kari's and Les Pauls this year already. Jeez - it's Jan 18th!
I'm so glad I'm not in Geneva right now…
I think the Repeater is going to have to wait a while. It's going to take I figure 5 years until they start to be 'available'. Although- if he would make one in rg on a rg bracelet - I might sell the car for that!
(I'm on a gold kick - looking for a gold bracelet watch and can't decide - I almost bought a president but a good friend stopped me - threw water on my face and tried to pry the gold chain from my neck - I guess I have 30 years till I become that guy ).
Difficult Decisions II
I was really surprised that the Dead Seconds grabbed the top spot inches above the Resonance. The Ruthenium collection remains the overwhelming favorite limited edition series. Now it's time to vote again.
Hum, Brad. . .
A bit surprised you left off the ruthenium Tokyo editions of the Resonance and the Dead Second in titanium with rose gold accents. But, when we have a question about seeing one of these rare pieces, we only need to ask you. ;-) I hope you are well. Dougla...
Titanium Editions
Ha Ha! Initially I though I should only including regular production models that have been discontinued or are unique limited editions. However this meant I could not include the resonance or calendrier. What I also left off the list are the PG dial /PT c...
Very difficult decisions!
Honestly, all of these watches are all so rare and so seldomly seen that I can't say one is more popular over another. As for your surprise in your previous poll; I have to admit, I was first drawn to the F.P. Journe brand by the Resonance. But the one th...
Yes in terms of production
You are correct that there are less RG/PT combinations produced. The reason I didn't include was trying to capture discontinued combinations. The YG dial is no longer produced once gold movements replaced brass.
Point Well Taken
Honestly, I see fewer of the RG (actually more pink gold or 'champagne') dials than the ruthenium dials or the YG dials. Perhaps that is only my limited exposure, but your point is very well taken. Wonder if there is any way Montres Journe would release n...
More of my useless opinions......
Brad - not as fun or good a question this time around. To me - none of the watches you mention are that "rare" when speaking of Journe except for the Vagabondage and two ruthenium pieces - of which the Zodiac can not be considered rare as there are two fo...
Never useless, always amusing
Asg, Good question or not I'm just happy you are back on this forum!!! Which means to me you are getting ready to buy something. Must be the repeater Rare is all about perspective. I would argue any Journe watch is rare. As the average person and I bet th...
Production Figures
Over the years through various conversations, posts, and articles I've kept a mental note of production figures. In total I believe there were less then 300 remontoirs produced (not including the 99 ruthenium ones) and approximately 400 resonances in bras...
I have heard the same....
Maybe it was at the same meeting Remember - there are PT cases with YG, WG and PG dials. There are RG cases with ONLY WG and PG dials. So, I may see your point since YG dials came only with PT cases - But yes, I'm aware of a few instances when Journe Made...
Sorry I Started This Rant. . . But
You two. In his ten years with his own brand, it is unlikely that Journe has produced 5k pieces in total. And he has said, repeatedly, that he does not want to produce more than 1k pieces per year even as he now ramps production--excluding whatever the fo...
Hey, there are some "rare" Panerai OEM straps
such as the original A-series black rubberized strap which sells for over $1,000+ **gasp** ! Cheers, Anthony
Agreed!

Is There Not a TV Show About Those Presidental Bracelet Watches?
Something called Jersey Shore. Love you. ;-)
Haven't seen it -
Lisa said she DVR'ed a few episodes for me to watch. By now - I am a true (North) Jersey Boy and loving it! There is no place like Bergen County in the world! You all should come visit! Be well, asg
The original pre-Journe iconic crown, etc. Extraordinary Journe
P.S. Like Adam, I have never understood the reason or the result of the Zodiac, which I wrote off from the get-go
