F.P. Friday - continuing the brass theme
Watchfan1post from earlier this week reminded me of the lovely early era of FPJ. A time when the brand was a struggling upcoming independent watch maker. So much has happened since. The watches from this period had a lovely but inconsistent finish that patinate in beautiful ways that are not always predictable, making each piece special. It is always fun to compare when you meet other collectors. It’s a little similar to the vintage Rolex universe.
Here is a recent picture illustrating the shiny accents of the subdial and the solid gold dial base.New or old, let’s see your Journe watches.
Wishing everyone a lovely weekend ahead.

Ah delicious looking
I always want to take a bite of that dial when I see a close up. It’s extremely pretty.
HAGWE my dear friend.
HAGWE my dear friend.
+1 for when inconsistency is a positive ! LOL
Not always the case, and also not always appreciated at the time. But like many things in life the passage of time allows a different interpretation.
No brass for me today; but despite the multiplying Romain Gauthiers, it is a resumption of normal Friday service for me with the CTS.
Apologies for the poor photo, coffee shop lighting is not great.
…people would sometimes have the dials replaced for the later ones because they were not “perfect”
I’ve heard a few horror stories 😱 it’s not always easy to see things clearly in the present…
I’m glad to see that you haven’t given up your CTS completely. It’s so Jay, I think 🤔 I’m still kicking myself for missing this boat.
Enjoy your weekend my dear friend

Yes, Gary. I’m back to my CS.
I had a long break from it due to the incoming FB but this morning I put it on again and it surprises me how GOOD it is. To me, it is perfection.
Enjoy your weekend.
Enjoy your weekend.
Hahaha yes this I know. Every time i buy one I say to myself “this is the last one” and then my mind starts thinking about the missing pieces in my collection.
It’s very addictive.

Christian, is it plat case and WG dial?
