Full moon tonight. Octa Lune BL is catching its glow. 🌕

If your watch catches the full moon, share it too — doesn’t have to be Journe, of course. Let’s fill the feed with lunar timepieces under the full moon.

This time last year Padj shared the sad news that Christopher had passed away. Another valuable forum member which we lost. Here is that original post; www.watchprosite.com And also below some words I shared in the comments which hopefully paint a

RIP Spangles (Christopher)

I am sure many of you know Christopher’s online presence, Spangles, both here and on some other forums. But in addition to his presence online he was a core part of our small Greater NYC Purist crew. We had several GTGs over the last decade or more as sma

Hi Ed. That’s disappointing. I doubt info would be incorrect on their website, but I’ll still check with them. Any idea when that switch happened?

I based my info on my research when buying the watch. It was mentioned in a Hodinkee article from 2014 titled “ Introducing The F.P. Journe Chronomètre Souverain, Octa Lune, And Octa Reserve, Now With Solid Gold Dials (Live Pics, Full Specs, Official Pric

That dial is stunning!

Today I am wearing my Octa Lune to commemorate the new release this week. In 2015 I had a chance to purchase a NOS brass Octa RDM from the FPJ boutique and I regrettably passed on the opportunity. Needless to say I was excited to see the release and submi

Contrarian...

I would actually be one of the few to say that trying on an FPJ is probably less important than almost al other brands. For one, Journe is known for being eminently wearable and it’s not like trying on a royal oak or a datograph. If the CB was 38 or 40 in

I would also have guessed, just based on following Journe closely for many years...

...that there just isn’t that many Octa Lune out there. Hence we don’t see them much, and in 38mm even more infrequently. You will see more RDM generally among collectors and people love the asymmetry and all the unused space on the left of the dial. Pers
