Couldn’t possibly wait until next [Journe] Friday.
P.S: this is a different watch from the one that you all helped me avoid. This one came with all the accoutrements and an extra strap. Thanks for all your help Inshallah this’ll be a blessed acquisition Hussam [now I know why people always posted poor NWA...
Personally, I found this version much more elegant than the guilloche+blued-hands version.
But most would disagree with us
Correct it is designed for 40 mm
Later it was made with a 38 mm case. Dial and movement are exactly the same size. Just a narrower case.
Thanks. Much much appreciated. 🙏🏿
It’s gonna be a very long honeymoon…by the looks of it.
Congratulations on your Journe acquisition. But how did
you find an alternative to the one you initially considered buying and seemed to be your only opportunity?
Thanks! I was looking at both, and checked this one out in person first (mint; worn once or twice) but the one I shared the inquiry about in this forum
was a better proposition ‘on paper’ (supposedly under warranty, and slightly cheaper). So I passed up on this one (even though it was mint and worn only once or twice). One I saw the other one in person and noticed all the missing pieces and solicited adv...
Mabrook!!! 🎉
I’m glad you were able to make it happen, and with this complete package. This configuration really does look supremely elegant and perfect on your wrist, without doubt.👌🏽 Wear it in best of health!
Allah Yibarik Feek! Very much appreciated, my dear friend.
The solid gold dial with embossed (not applied) mirror-polished white gold numerals and mirror polished stainless steel hands are begging to be viewed/photographed with a side-light. And yes, in this case, waiting for the perfect opportunity ended up bein...
Hi Hussam! Congratulations!
The first pictures in the warm lighting looks like the RG version but it sounds like it is the Pt version? Also, my view of the pictures that this one is applied numerals? As the numerals look tall with defined edges; but of course you have the best view ...
Thanks Darron. Very kind of you.
Yes, indeed, this is the platinum version with white gold dial and white gold embossed (not applied) numerals and stainless steel hands. I learned the latter two facts during my deep dive into watch journalistic coverage of this watch last evening (hodink...
Wow! Well you certainly know what you were
looking for. Congratulations. It looks amazing.
Hussam, congratulations. It’s been a little journey to get here but sounds like you are very happy now.
This is my favourite CS, followed closely by the polar opposite rose gold MOP CS. Your watch however is most versatile, a great quality to have. A few straps of different colours and textures will really give you something for every day and any ocaision.
Thanks Jay! Yes, it was a short-yet-eventful journey but I’m very satisfied and grateful for all the support and guidance that I got along the way.
Once I read about the dial and numeral material and creation-process, I got hooked. I’m a big fan of owning watches with different materials (including dials) and unusual creation-processes. I’ll gladly take any suggestions of straps (FP Journe and from o...
Greetings from Hamburg and Congratulations. Im Happy for you that you found a good one.
I’m enjoying my CS on this trip. It’s a go everywhere piece. ...
Thank you, our dear moderator.
I’m ecstatic, but probably won’t make it my everywhere watch any time soon. I’ve got rabid toddlers and a baby, and the scratch-magnet platinum probably won’t hold well Enjoy your travels and stay well ...
