New version FP Journe Chronograph Rattrapante

Sep 09, 2020,04:22 AM
 

As soon as I heard that FPJ decided to dispense with the rubber inserts on the bracelet and the ‘bumper’ and rubber crown I knew that this was the sports Journe I wanted and would hopefully add to my collection. That day arrived on Monday when I collected it from the Great team at the Hong Kong boutique who have always been good to me. 


I had meant to get some better photos with the Leica but I’m too impatient so forgive me for uploading these poorer quality phone pictures, I promise to get some better ones. I thought that whilst photos of the rose gold and platinum new versions are out there this might be one of the first titanium versions to be delivered so I would post a few now.

I’m glad personally that I waited as for me it is more aesthetically pleasing. It’s on my wrist as I type this and won’t be going anywhere any time soon!

I have my eyes on this one as well. I tried it recently and I just love it. Im in the same camp as you, who prefer the watch without the rubber ends. However that is a real dividing point. Thank you for the pictures. I really appreciate it. ...  

agree re it being a dividing point!

the rattrapante is a favorite as well , however i would love to own the RG version

the RG is stunning.

in fact, I'd happily own any of the three. I opted for this for its lightness and for the fact that I have RG FPJ already in the form of the 10th Anniversary HK Centigraphe so wanted something more casual.

Very nice - Wearing my rubber bumpered one as well today

I see that the pushers, crown and the bumper at 9 o'clock are now polished? ...  

nice!

I see the beauty but..

 
 By: shafran : September 9th, 2020-07:37
I also like the bumpers. Heres mine ...  

With the bracelet, I can go either way but...

 
 By: India Whiskey Charlie : September 9th, 2020-08:22
I think I like the 9 o'clock bumper and crown in black and the pushers in matte finish. Either way, both versions are beautiful and congrats to Gus.👍 ...  

I think that a balance

might have been perfect! no rubber in the bracelet but retain the bumper and crown. thanks for posting!

Wow congrats! Personal favourite of three

I think the dark metal and chronograph cutouts complete the sporty look. Wear in good health! P.S. speaking of FPJ HK, I am trying to obtain an elegante 48 to mark an occassion but sadly been told to wait 2+ years. The growth in demand for FPJ in the regi... 

thank you!

Cngratulations!

Without the rubber inserts I also like it more. Which is the water resistance? It is an information that I can't find anywhere. Best, R

I should support my version, but

Just notice that FP abandon rubber strap user without sufficient stock. That makes me VERY worry about mine. I believe a qualified high horology brand should not do it to fans and customers. Very disappointing .

Absolutely gorgeous

I prefer this on many levels...

The bracelet is a bit non-descript but that's OK... My quibble is that S on the dial, but... it would not stop me, chuckle. Fantastic!!!

Many congratulations. It’s always good to hear that the wait was worth it, as it seems to have been for you with this one.

The folks in HK have always been so welcoming and gracious to me. It was my first exposure to Journe, when they were in the older location, and for several years the only Boutique I frequented even though it’s far far from my home town. High end watches a...
