Be still my heart!
From the first moment I became aware of this watch I've thought it to be the most beautiful watch I've ever seen. After years of shortened breath from viewing pics I am so fortunate and thankful to finally own it.
May all of your horological dreams come true as well...
Happy Thanksgiving!
Oh, my gosh - what a beautiful picture!
Huge congratulations on finally landing this piece. I LOVE the C.S. I think it is one of the best manual wind watches in current production.
You got youself a keeper! Please - post many more shots of this baby 
Congratulations Jim 🥂....
Great watch and photo. Join us for WristScan with it this weekend. Enjoy !
big congratulations...it is an impressive watch !
once you strap it on...i can assure, it is hard to strap off !!
Best,
mahesh.,
Now my heart is beating fast!
I always thought I would like a CB — but these photos cast doubts on that!
This CS is a stunning watch. Very subtle most of the time.
It’s the strongest contender to the CB for me.
I notice the use of applied numerals, this appears to be a change in dials from the embossed ones.
...those numerals
The numerals are not applied. I'm not sure "embossed" is the right term either. The numerals are apart of the dial itself, and allowed to extrude as the part of the dial that is not numerals is reduced. Somewhere I read the term "spark erosion at the molecular level" is involved in some way - above my pay grade but the result is quietly spectacular. I took the photo at this angle to show off this exact brilliance. Also, if that's not enough, the numerals themselves then get mirror-polished and as you tilt/rotate the watch one sees some numerals go "dark" and others reflect brightly, almost twinkling. Lots to look at and boggles my mind...
Oh, and then there are the reduced-size "7" and "8" making way for the seconds. My oh my...
As I said, be still my heart...

Super interesting! The numerals sure do look raised in your picture,
While in the picture I've posted (and on my watch), they are not raised in that way.
More pictures of your awesome new watch are clearly required.

...numerals close-up
This pic is as close as I can get and shows the numerals rising out of the dial, not "applied". Somewhat hard to see with just naked eye. And although the numerals look painted remember they are mirror-polished, just not reflecting anything in the pic.
Beautiful! Starting this year, FP changed the way the WG dials are being made...
Yours appears to be the original "pressed" version, where the dial is stamped from behind to raise the numerals from the dial itself. It's my understanding that this year the numerals are now being applied to the dial. The way you can tell is that the white of the dial can be seen on the sides of the numerals. A stunning piece! Best,Tom
Jim, a great shot that captures the beauty of this watch.
This is my favourite CS by a long shot, even though it took a while for me to realise that.
It’s understated and versatile, a great combination.
Huge Congrats.
Thats a stunning FPJ . Def one i can see myself wearing too . Had the opportunity to get one a while ago , to bad the deal didn’t worked out . Hope to get another chance in the near future. Till then i would love to see more pics of your great watch 🤗
