F.P. Journe: I'm not so sure

I feel this surge in prices has been driven mostly by hype for the elegante. Since these are now selling for over $100k, this ends up pushing up the prices of the mechanical models upwards as well. Maybe it's wishful thinking, but the elegante's secondary market prices are not sustainable, especiall

F.P. Journe: Would you mind telling me who Ab is?

I'm also on the lookout for older Journes, but I never asked for any watch to be sourced for me before.

F.P. Journe: Absolutely!

I have been watching his reviews for a while, but the L2L measurements of the 40mm Journe watches he reviews are all over the place from under 47mm to over 48mm.

F.P. Journe: Most definitely!

I think I will go for a 38mm for the time being if I can find one decently priced, and reassess if I get allocated a 40mm.

F.P. Journe: Thank you for the reply Gary.

That Automatique is gorgeous, especially on that strap, and it really does suit your wrist very well. I would imagine that would be much more apparent seeing it in the 3rd person.

F.P. Journe: Thank you for your input!

At this point I don't have a strong preference for either size. I'd go for a brass movement 38mm, so I'll keep an eye out for one unless I get allocated a 40mm AN. That would have be to for 2027 at the very least, though. I love you collection btw! Looking forward to your upcoming addition!
