Wear it in best of health 
New incoming after many years!!
So its been a while since I posted an incoming for FPJ, but yesterday I collected a major grail watch of mine It signals the end and maybe a new beginning for my watch journey as I aim to slow down and focus on enjoying what I have, and Im gonna enjoy thi...
Congratulations on one of the most mesmerizing, elegant, beautiful…
…(I could go on forever with the adjectives)…pieces of horological art ever made! Your particular configuration is without equal imho. Wear it in the best of health.
I took me a little while to figure it out. I thought it was in reference to the black & white colors. But somebody explained that if you look at the dial with the crown facing down, the main dial and subdial resemble a penguin. A very cool hidden aspect.
And a dream watch for me. Wear it in good health. May it bring many years of enjoyment!

Congratulations on a beautiful acquisition!
I hope the experience matches owning such a piece
Huge, huge congratulations……
Yes that is indeed a biggie. I completely understand your feelings. Ive been told my CO should be arriving very soon. I also understand what you said about enjoying what you have. Please post some more wrist shots when you are out and about. We want to he...
THank. you Christian!
Long time Christian! Will def post some more shots. Hope youre having a good one and that your CO arrives soon also!
Many congratulations on this.
If we think about Journe over the last two decades (2000s and 2010s) then I think many would say the defining watches of those decades were the Resonance and the Optimum. Obviously both were imagined well before their introduction and some will argue that...
Thank you
Cheers for sharing your thoughts, I think Im in the same camp as you! For me it had to be the black dial, its just aesthetically more my style. I just love this watch. Thanks again!
Huge congrats! One that I have been wanting to add as well.
Submitted my application for the black label, so we will see. Wear it in good health.
I am not a huge Journe guy...
But this one, in particular, is absolutely fantastic. The black-dialed CO is truly an iconic watch and one that I think history will remember fondly. Congratulations on getting your grail, and I wish you the best of luck transitioning into this new phase ...
THank you JoshTheCanadian!
I also feel that the CO will be one of Journe's all time important pieces along with the Resonance and the tourbillion.
Fantastic addition for you.
Or anyone! This is one of the two unique high complications from Journe that stand out among all watches from all brands. And really it’s “only” a time-only watch. But another level of watchmaking. Congratulations!
I used to visit the Aoyama boutique often...
...and they were always very nice and welcoming. Congratulations : )
Congrats on a watch that is enviable in all watch circles!
What a great choice and well worth the wait. This is a crazy hobby/passion of ours. WIGH. Ben
Huge congratulations!
Absolutely stunning and technically a magnificent timepiece it is ! Best, Mahesh.,
This iteration is one of my favorite Journes period.
Would love to own one on day. Had the pleasure of trying one on over the weekend -- love how the crown needs a little bit of oomph in order to wind.
