Hands down, you walked away with the coolest piece
If that first wrist shot is from your arm you have a perfect fit. It suits you PERFECTLY.
I love the Divine. It’s one of the longest lasting designs in the collection and time has proven its longevity. I love the layered dial. A very unusual way to make a dial but it helps legibility.
Very interesting information you are sharing about your findings on the case. I had never realized the case was redesigned.
Overall, the Divine has never been produced in large quantities. It’s very safe to say this is a very rare and beautiful watch for the long haul.
Amazing post. Thank you for sharing this story my dear friend.
Ps. Look at the texture of the dial in the 3rd shot. Delicious 🤤
Surprise INCOMING ? 🤷♂️ Sometimes it is better to be lucky 🤣😂
Here is the back story. So I inquired about getting a FPJ piece for my wife. I actually did this back in 2018 and at that time the Élégante model was readily available. Sadly, my wife did not like the case shape nor looks 🤦🤦 We looked at other models onli...
Congrats my friend!!
Another great couple of pieces being added to an already amazing collection.
Probably....
the prettiest F.P. Journe I have seen. The size is just right, the dial alluring and the sage green strap outstanding. Let's just say I much prefer it to the 'plan B' Rolex x). An absolute win for you in my humble opinion . Cheers, Filip

Thanks Christian, first 3 photos are of my wrist. 4th is my wife's wrist as she is a lefty so wears the watch on her right wrist, 5 shot is us together...
As for the redesigned case for the Divine, yes that was very interesting to find out. The EARLY cases in 36mm (2003 - 2005) had 4 screws attaching the case back to the lugs. In 2005 or 2006, FPJ changed this and redesigned the case and lugs as I explained...
Awesome acquisition, Justin!!!
I love the octa divine, definitely one of the more uncommon Journe pieces and I'm always a fan of smaller case sizes! A fantastic choice for your wife as well!
Thanks bro, I think you could definitely pull this one off as well Jordan due to the size...
As for my wife, it still cracks me up as she absolutely hates Rolex but I guess she overlooks that with the gem set models. Women and pretty colored gems 💎, go figure 🤣🤣🙈🙉🙊
one of the best, if not the best looking of the automatic journe
The journe ship appears to have left me behind. congrats on a beautiful piece
You planned it so well!!! Plan A and B are amazing!!! Many congratulations to you and your wife!
I just wish I can get on that FPJ train…I think it’s already left the station. Have a greta weekend! ,
Loyalty is easy for e, however, it’s the patience that gets me!!! 😂
Many congrats, again!!!!
Big congratulations
Wonderful piece and great marital psychology/game theoretical approach in general. Hats off to you and I hope you enjoy it to the max! Best Andreas
Lug to lug measurement
Do you happen to know what the lug to lug size was for a 2006 plus? I can’t seem to find it anywhere. Thanks
