F.P. Friday - continuing the brass theme
Watchfan1post from earlier this week reminded me of the lovely early era of FPJ. A time when the brand was a struggling upcoming independent watch maker. So much has happened since. The watches from this period had a lovely but inconsistent finish that patinate in beautiful ways that are not always predictable, making each piece special. It is always fun to compare when you meet other collectors. It’s a little similar to the vintage Rolex universe.
New or old, let’s see your Journe watches.
Wishing everyone a lovely weekend ahead.

I’ve heard a few horror stories 😱 it’s not always easy to see things clearly in the present… I’m glad to see that you haven’t given up your CTS completely. It’s so Jay, I think 🤔 I’m still kicking myself for missing this boat. Enjoy your weekend my dear f...
Yes, Gary. I’m back to my CS.
I had a long break from it due to the incoming FB but this morning I put it on again and it surprises me how GOOD it is. To me, it is perfection. Enjoy your weekend.
Gorgeous
Christian, is it plat case and WG dial? The light is playing tricks with my eyes
