Moonphase & lighting
As far as I know, there is no difference materially between the moonphase discs between the various FPJ models. I've noticed that the indoor lighting in the boutique does seem to render the moonphase display very dark, and difficult to see. Take the watch outdoors, or in natural light, and it's much more visible.
As to the accuracy, I would guess that the CS is marginally more accurate, but I've not seen any accuracy tests of the Octa movement to compare directly.
For the bracelet, note that on some models, the bracelet is welded to the case and is therefore not interchangeable. Perhaps someone else can jump in and let us know exactly which models. I've not seen bracelet models on display, other than the diamond versions, so I think that the bracelet needs to be ordered special ordered in any case.

Thank you very much for sharing your views and knowledge. I guess for a truely functional watch, the moonphase indicator should be visible under all indoor lightings yellow or white. Perhaps Montres Journe can consider this in his next project to make an ...
