Agreed. The proportions of the case of the Octa pieces in 38 mm are really good

I would one day like to add an FPJ to my collection.

Thank you, Michael ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thatโ€™s what I think as well. I hope you will find yours one day. I think FPJ would make sense in your collection when I think about some of your pieces. HAGWE dearest friend ๐Ÿ‘

Resonating into the weekend

Itโ€™s so true that the focus of our thoughts and passions lead us in a particular direction in life. How fortunate we are to pursue the things that make us happy! HAGWE ...  

My pleasure, Bill

I think your remark is a perfect addition to my story! ...YES! Arenโ€™t we lucky!! I wish you a wonderful weekend, my friend. Christian

This CS is THE one I think of since long, probably too long...

Do you think I should pull the trigger my friend ? Would it suit my style and collection ? Tell me...

Yes, Mike. I do! :-)

 
 By: ChristianDK : October 16th, 2020-12:53
You have a lot of experience as a collector, so you know the answer is in the heart of course. If you ask me, I think you have curated your collection carefully and I see a place for the CS in your style. I think you should go and talk to our common frien... 

Thanks for your kind words my friend. In that case...

 
 By: Mike H : October 16th, 2020-13:23
I can now confess that it has been taken care of very recently thanks to another common friend...๐Ÿ˜‰ ...  

Huge congratulations, Mike ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ‘Œit looks great on your wrist

I hope You will e as happy as I am with the CS. I think itโ€™s a classic already. Enjoy your weekend with your wonderful watch. Bes C

HAGWE, Abe

One of the great ones. Itโ€™s very nice with the gold case.

Thanks Christian

I like this a lot especially with its 38mm case HAGWE

Agreed. The proportions of the case of the Octa pieces in 38 mm are really good

Lovely Abe. This case and dial combination is one of lesser seen and I think itโ€™s beautiful.

I am not the biggest fan of negative space on Journe dials and so the retrograde date here has always been something that drew me to this reference.

A nighttime shot.

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : October 16th, 2020-17:05
Re Christianโ€™s original comment, I too think the CS is the perfect anchor for any collection or any Journe collection. There are sufficient variants of the CS to meet anyoneโ€™s taste I think. Personally Iโ€™ve always been drawn to the white gold dials with t...  

I too have been drawn to the white CS lately, Jay

 
 By: ChristianDK : October 16th, 2020-21:12
I love itโ€™s cool simplicity. In the beginning I found it too cold but I think now I was wrong. It has a ore modern feel. Still I will not change it for the one I have. To me that is still the original and I love itโ€™s more classic look. If I had a money tr... 

Friday is here ๐Ÿ–

Classic CS and versatile strap choice.

 
 By: Nicetomeetyou : October 17th, 2020-06:02
Is this a 38 or 40mm?

Hi, itโ€™s the 40.

 
 By: ChristianDK : October 17th, 2020-10:23
Mine is a very old one. One of the first from 2006. Itโ€™s extremely versatile regarding straps.

40mm is a good fit.

 
 By: Nicetomeetyou : October 17th, 2020-10:30
Wear it in a good health ๐Ÿ™‚

Thank you so much for your kind words, Scott, and a very warm welcome to you here!

 
 By: ChristianDK : October 18th, 2020-01:52
Itโ€™s magical when dreams come true. Life can be amazing at times I adore your Repetition and I love the way you wear it in the more casual orange. Very, very cool. ๐Ÿ‘Œ Please tell us a little about yourself and watch passion. I see that you have posted some... 

Thanks so much Christian.

I have actually been part of this community for a few years now (also see M-Scott). I somehow accidentally modified my profile on my phone and created a second profile that appears as though I am a new member...(Oops..one of the benefits of getting older)... 

Sorry, of course. And your profile name seemed familiar as well ...

 
 By: ChristianDK : October 18th, 2020-14:13
and you have made some fantastic posts here in the FPJ forum. I have too much going on these days to think straight. I will ask Bill if he can merge your profiles as there is a policy against having two profiles. (I know you had no bad intentions ) Keep w... 

That would be much appreciated. Thank you.

It was clearly operator error on my part!
