I feel the Elegante is well and truly past the point of incredulity by collectors, at least FPJ collectors. It’s a beautiful design, luxurious treatment, and yet another work of art from the master himself. I absolutely love it and hope to add one of my own someday. In the meantime, I’m still putting my miles on my Octa Sport. I know the rubber bumpers and crown were unloved by some, but I really like them, and I think they especially make sense on a rubber strap. Comparing the old and new...

Time for our weekend tradition. Please post your FPJ watch. Today I’m wearing a new acquisition. The Elegante in Polished titanium. It just landed yesterday so it’s still very early days. I love the way it sits on the wrist. Extremely comfortable and ligh...

Nice catch! I’d just enquired about the polished titanium with my AD this week and was told that it has quite a waitlist too. Here’s what I will have for this weekend. Enjoy the weekend! ...

Yours is super. I prefer the old diameter.

In the rubber strap its perfect. Regarding the rubber bits, my best guess is thats its about a 50/50 division of who likes it and who dont. Its just a preference thing. Hang on to yours. I have a feeling these are growing a lot in popularity. I you would ...

Very nice Christian.

My wife and I were considering a shared one late last year, the smaller case (which suits me fine). In the end we didn’t do it as she wasn’t completely sold on it.

It’s not a bad idea though. Of course she should be in on it.

 
 By: ChristianDK : September 11th, 2020-16:17
I belSham used to have the small version. Thank you , my friend 😊🙏

You are more than forgiven! What an awesome picture!

 
 By: ChristianDK : September 11th, 2020-16:19
Every time you post the Resonance with this strap I am so impressed. And I love that blue on theCB even if I don’t think I could pull it off. But wow. What picture. Wishing you a great weekend, Jay!

wowee!

You could be a model for Brunello Cucinelli!
