That’s a really good collection
Two icons from FPJ. And certainly the De Bethune and PP are great watches too. Let the one You wear the least go. Big welcome here. Please tell us a little about yourself and your Watch passion. Regards Christian
First of all...
Welcome here ! Call it an entry with 4 top iconic watches! As Christian suggests if you really have to, let the one you were the least go. The other ones must make your heart beat faster when you look at them, so they are the keepers
Too bad 🙈
5740 isn’t a bad choice either for sure 🤷♂️ But… you said the limit of your CHO (😉 I like that « CHO » 👍 she must be happy) is 5 to 6 so with these 4 you are not out of bounds unless you are hiding other keepers 😉
Warm welcome 🙏🏻
Excellent lineup of some amazing and beautiful watches. Hard to pick one . All keepers imho
I really like the Calendrier a lot but the dial color of the Optimum is so beautiful.
A combination of these two would make a perfect FPJ imho 😉🙏🏻
As others have said, it's an easy choice... let go of the Calandrier.
The optimum is more unique to Journe, and the manual movement, the dial color, and the dial layout on your optimum are all more attractive as well.
Maybe…
You can give one of the Journe watches to the CHO. That way you don’t have to sell 😂 Best Gatsby
I'd sell the De Bethune
I am not a fan of its design and proportions. But that's just me.
Welcome!
First thing I would do is switch the strap on the PP so that the shorter side is at 12 and the longer side is at 6. But what do I know 😂
All are beautiful. Wonderful collection!
Of the four I would move the DeBethune first. I love DeBethune but this particular one is not iconic for the brand in my humble opinion. If you are going to part with one of the Journes I would say the Calendrier definitely. The Optimum is just such a spe...
Welcome and amazing collection you got there!
For me, i love independent watch makers and so i would let go of the Patek Philippe but that is me! However, whatever you do please don't give away that DeBethune! it is so cool !!
Amazing collection
I would sell the DB - keep both Journes especially since it's a Ruthenium Calendrier.
