F.P. Journe

Lately I'm completely enthralled by colored dials particularly the old YG dials. Please post any colored dials you have especially any RG dials. Here are two very different colored dials.

I wish you had photographed my YG Octa, Brad, it would be perfect for this moment. Next time...

the original rose gold shiny dial.  i hope the new owner is enjoying it very much!

cheers,

One of the few pieces I have sold with regrets...

Fortunately, there are other pieces to lift my spirits!

You sold your FPJ YG dial Tourbillon!  I am a little surprise as I have been reading so many of your posts about this watch.  I am now intrigue what watch did you get as the replacement.  It must be something really great.  Please share with us.

how to capture this watch.
Really incredible shots.

seeing all these YG dials make me yearn for one Too bad they are all discontinued. Congrats to those who have them. Definitely the look that defined early Journe IMHO

That RG on RG dial calendrier looks stunning. I dunno about u guys but this combo never fails to send my sympathetic activity racing.

 

 

THE ROSE GOLD LUNE IS STUNNING!!!!

... but how does the color of the RG dial work with the color of the moon? Do they compliment each other well?

The moon and stars are done in red gold that matches the color of the case. I'm just not a good enough photographer to catch that subtle detail!

One of the finest aspects of this watch is the way the colors work together. The blued steel hands and the deep blue background of the phase display star field work beautifully with all the red gold.

Interestingly, the rotor on my watch (which has the original brass movement) appears to be a yellower color of gold. I'm not saying it isn't red gold, but it appears to be yellower than the case. With the guilloche finishing, it looks redder when viewed at an oblique angle and yellower when looked at straight on. I think it works, but if you're buying an Octa Lune of this vintage, its something you should have a look at.

 

I have to admit, I have been considering changing the dial to the white gold version.

These are such great watches, The earlier shinny gold dials are just stunning.

The RG on RG Tourbillon DS is high on my wishlist. I have a thing for this combo. I wish I have a chance right now to snap a pic of my RG on RG Resonance but alas, I am away on attachment at this moment. :S If there is a chance for me to get one watch right now, the Tourbillon DS would be the one. For now, I THINK my resonance should suffice...... hmmm... maybe not. :p
