Beautiful, Fred.

I'm not opposed to a little blue myself.

Congrats Fred! I'm still waiting for the e-mail from the Geneva boutique telling me it's ready to ship! (I was told March).

Thanks buddy Tom!

I just couldn't touch the Patek anti-gravity prices so I went off tangent and landed this bird. So far, the blue is brilliant, striking and worth every penny at this pricing point.

Hope you get the call very soon. New York boutique told me the waiting list there is 64 deep!

Smart choice Fred! The FPJ CB is definitely no slouch! A hidden gem relative to the utter insanity of Patek and the frustration that ensues. I made the same choice after having no joy with procuring a 5712/1A and nearly pulling out every hair on my head. Simply rang up the FPJ Geneva boutique at the end of November, paid a deposit and was told I would get one in March. No games, no fuss. That's how buying a watch should be.

And that NYC boutique waitlist has grown! I was told in November the list was about 20-30 deep, same with LA and Miami.
