I have unfortunately found that the 39mm case is just about perfect for me too. Shame there are no more.

I will say I didn’t find the Byblos appealing at all. One of the big design fails for me in the Journe catalogue.
And for me it was for many years the perfect watch. It isn’t that any more as it’s not as wearable as it was, which was a factor in why I thought it was so perfect. It wasn’t just about the watch, it was also about when and where I could wear it (which was everywhere for a while).

The only downside is the recent hype. I used to wear it more often — to the office and to casual events & dinners without thinking. It’s still relatively under the radar, but I sometimes find myself pausing to think about where I might be going on a p...

I was fortunate to buy this many years ago when one could easily have one at the Boutique or AD or for a big discount in the second hand market. Times have changed.
Wow

I guess it’s one piece to be treasured. And yes times have definitely changed with the soaring pre owned market for some popular brands. It’s crazy. I am treasuring my 16710 pepsi, knowing that i am likely not able to afford the new one 😂
Thanks ….
