I am so lucky...
A very kind friend borrowed me this gorgeous CS for a few days... Enjoying the experience... a lot 😊😊 I know I am very very lucky 😉 ...
I have got wrong friends ...
I would love to wear a Patek 5119 R from a friend for a few days, or even just admire it for a few days without wearing it … but no way! Enjoy this test ride :
Doing fine, but it's my first summer *ever* in the US...Honestly nothing compares to Italy for me in summer ;-) As a consolation, however, I know it would have been different anyway this year.
Hoping this insanity is over at least by Christmas and our lives can revert to normal! ;-) Cheers.
Please give us your impressions of the Journe CS
In your opinion could it be the THE WATCH in your collection that satisfies 'dress watch' duties? If the case is platinum, have you found that it would be helpful to have the Journe platinum deployant clasp/buckle to better balance the weight of the plati...
in my view Robert...
it can play a dress up or dress down game...i've tried few straps on it & it works well. you can see some posts from ChristianDK with some strap variations too. you feel the heft of Pt of course but it doesn't rotate / topple off the wrist...it sits well ...
Mahesh - many thanks!
appreciate your response. Also, I checked out Christian's many foto posts and learned how the CS can take on many personalities depending on straps/accessories and clothing and surroundings. In your opinion, with the CS - would you pursue a 38mm or 40mm? ...
it is highly subjective, it depends on your wrist size & other watches in your collection...
i've a 16,5 cm wrist & 40 suits me well...the difference between 38 vs 40 in CS is the bezel. either way you wouldn't go wrong. 38mm hardly come by now-a-days...so it would be an interesting pursuit ! Best, mahesh.,
Well captured Mike, in deed a very good Journe imho
Pic of mine... Best, Mahesh., ...
Mike, this looks fantastic on you!
Great to hear you had this experience as the CS is in my all time top three list. I sent a reply to your PM, btw. Enjoy Sincerely Christian
Christian may I ask what are the other two?
Very curious if you would indulge me. Best, Robert
Sure thing, Robert
The others would be my Resonance and my vintage JLC Geophysic. To give you my impression in your questions you put to Mahesh: I have owned the CS for more than a decade now. I can tell you that no other watch has spent so many hours on my wrist. Sometimes...
Agree with Christian on the deployant.
I bought one as an extra with my CT and while nice, I find I usually just use the tang.
I understand :-)
I think the watches are so well balanced, there is no need. Thanks for chiming in with your experience 👍
Such a helpful response, many thanks
Christian, can you put into words why you feel that similar Patek offerings don't feel as versatile (or as "go to") as the Journe CS? Best, Robert
