RM004 vs. FPJ CMS platinum vs. 5204p

I’m finding myself going around and around on these split-second beauties, and would welcome thoughts on them from owners or admirers, particularly re: RM004; e.g. have the issues from the early days well and truly been resolved?

Thank you in advance!

Can't attest to the RM004 in particular but I have owned several RMs now and never had an issue nor a reason to have it serviced. For my .02, I would have difficult picking between the RM and the FPJ for these models.

How about the 5370P if not the Journe is sensational and would be my choice amongst those offered here.

5370p is beautiful for sure, though I’m drawn more to the traditional grand complication configuration when thinking about Patek; my ultimate would be the 5208p though, so perhaps I should actually just wait until I’m ready for that… if that ever happens!

TBH the Journe is definitely going to be an incoming eventually (it’s already on order, so hopefully will come in sometime next year)… assuming I’ve talked myself out of the 5204 for now (above), I do wonder whether the RM004 will be made redundant by the CMS… perhaps nothing to worry about for now though whilst the FPJ is yet to arrive!

The Patek or Journe might change
Sometimes the Journe would be my first choice, the other day I would prefer the Patek

The Richard Mille would probably take place 7407030567799293954960639689 ( more or less)
