F.P. Journe

It was very easy to get this back in 2014 when I got mine. Now the waiting list is so long and price has gone up so much that it kinda ruined my enjoyment of this watch. I become more stressful when wearing this piece. Not that I will part with it, it’s j...  

Nice piece. Calming for me when i wear mine. Also lucky. Got mine in 2018. Just before bedlam happened.

Just the increased value makes it less comfortable for me to wear it psychologically

Just wear and wear and enjoy

I just become more sensitive when wearing it. 🙁

That’s the right thing to do.

And don’t plan to let it go. I am just more worried about scratching the watch when wearing it. It’s more of a psychological thing for me. Otherwise it’s one of my favorite pieces to wear.

I got mine in 2015 and although they weren’t everywhere, I didn’t have to go on a waitlist. Since then, I’ve seen it turn into something completely different. But since it’s a never-sell piece for me, I’m able to keep the market situation quite separate f... 

I think you have the right mind set. And I should think like that as well so I can enjoy mine more.

...but I really wanted the Chrono Souverain, but it was out of my price range. I liked the CB, but it just didn’t speak to me, and deep down I knew it was a compromise for me, so I sold it after less than a year. I really try not to have money related reg... 

Most of us got into this hobby/passion because we physically enjoyed these timepieces and understood that there are financial costs to this hobby. with time, we developed insight into what adds value (materials, finishing, R+D, brand pedigree etc) and wha...
