Hi Robert - not easy
As you say they are rare on the market. Here are my best ideas. 1) post a “want to buy” ad here on the sales board. 2) Watch auctions closely. 3) leave a message with some of the dealers you trust, that you are looking for this piece. These often know what their clients have in their collection and may ask them.
Hope you will get one.
Best

It’s already time for François-Paul Friday - jump in....
I can’t believe it’s already Friday and so it is the last weekend of my summer holidays. However, I love our Friday tradition so, please join us and wish the forum a happy weekend by posting your FPJ watch. Inspired by all the talk of the CS in recent pos...
I always love it when you post this one, Mo.
Such a cool chronograph that suits you so well. Have a great weekend, my friend!
Me too! It really has that unmistakable Journe DNA
tanks for sharing an other beauty in your superb collection! Wish you a happy weekend
Thats a beutiful selection of colors, Mike!
I think, especially the blue, you have mounted on the "redhead" suits it superbly. Have a great weekend, dear friend!
Super cool. It says "SUMMER"! I am in love with that strap.
Have a great weekend, my friend
Just yesterday I was looking on the FPJ website...
Trying to compare the looks between platinum and rose gold... ...
Left... LOL!
Not a huge fan of red/rose gold and I think the white dial/blue hands combo is better suited to the platinum case. For the gold, I feel this combo is better: ...
I really do think this dial is better on both PT and RG.
“Better” is obviously very subjective but I’m thinking more contemporary and more versatile too.
I meant better to be a Communist than dead.
You’re the one who said you’re leaning left.
Great choice
If you ever think about getting in to FPJ, this is a great way to start! Dont think of it as entry level. It is a superb manual wind chronometer. have a great weekend best Christian
No FPJ
Unfortunately I have no FPJ in my collection but nonetheless I hope that you got very drunk on this last vacation day Must admit was little surprised as I thought a man of your capabilities surely doesn’t have to work anymore haha Good luck Monday in the ...
HAHA :-) LOL thank you for your kind words, dear friend!
Trust me, I have havent missed the drinks during this vacation. Luckily I have friends I can trust for that ;-) Still one more dinner tomorrow, so I can keep that promise to !!! Wishing you a great weekend, dear Jurry thanks for chiming in here, my friend...
this just looks so right, Ed! FP really nailed it with this one.
I especially love it in this gestalt, with the white platinum against the purple dial. It has a simplicity and purity but the watch just pops in a really elegant way! Enjoy you weekend and this beautiful watch, my friend Best Christian
Journes and friend !
Have a good weekend all. And to Christian, sorry to hear your summer holidays are coming to an end. The consolation may be you are in a part of the world where the long summer days will continue for a while yet. It’s one of those things I miss about home....
It's so hard to keep this smile from my face, losing control, yeah, I'm all over the place..
Perhaps describes my collecting ! How’s the weather in Puerto del Backdeça?
What a stunning shot, dear friend :-)
All three so different and original but I also sense a common spirit. That you for you nice words. You are completely right about our summer nights. I just had the most beautiful drive tonight after visiting friends in the contry side. The landscape was d...
Yes, they look good together.
I was thinking that when looking at some of the pictures I snapped. Perhaps the Clown (or the Joker) would appeal to F.P. in some ways.
Christian, in your opinion, what's the best way to go about acquiring a 38mm CS Platinum?
The smaller 38mm CS platinum (guilloche dial) rarely come available in the regular (chrono24, crown&caliber, watchbox, etc) grey market sites. I love to receive some advice on this elusive search! Best, Robert
