Dress Watch Dilemma (Reverso, Journe Bleu)

[mps354]

I have a bit of a dilemma on my hands. im thinking of changing up the collection a bit, and find myself with too many dress / semi-dress watches. how would you rank the 3 below that I have...Im thinking of keeping only two of them

1) JLC TT to 1931, Limited Edition in steel
2) JLC Grande Reverso Ultra Thin in white gold
3) FP Journe Chronometre Bleu in tantalum

I realize they are all different prices, but lets assume its not a $ issue, more of a too many watches issue...

for me, it's easily the Chronometre Bleu.. it's on my short list

[wantonebad]

As much as I love JLC I'm not a square watch guy... so for me it would be the FPJ

[fmc000]

Journe, without a doubt.

The JLC is dressy - make sure you try one on if you can. I had one and sold it because it didn't sit right on my wrist.
The Journe is nice, but not as dressy to me.

I have all 3 and really like them all, they just aren't getting enough time, so I'm thinking of losing one, maybe two. They all fit well though

Oh - I should read these things.

Can't help you. Depends on how much cash you want, I guess. The 1931 would probably bring the least. Good luck!

I would keep the TT 1931 and the Chronometre Bleu, I think both are amazing watches and prefer those over the Grand Reverso despite that one being in WG.

[capote]

I would keep the FPJ and WG JLC

Toss up between the 2 reversos, they're both great. But with out a doubt keep the fpj

[HL65]

Keep the FPJ and the SS JLC.

Ken, have you ever tried a FPJ in person? I had the opportunity to see the Blue, the Centigraph, the aluminium sport watch and some others and all are amazing watches. But the blue is really something else. The dial is absolutely unique, the tantalum case has a color I've never seen elsewhere and the movement.... Wow. It will probably be my 50th birthday watch if I'll have the money by then.

[mps354]

Thanks for everyone's input

[mmancari]

Keep the journe. It's a fantastic watch and creativeness. I would also keep the white gold jlc.

[Psmith]

Love that FPJ

Never have Fabio...Looks like a beautiful watch though.

I'd sell one of the reverso models.

Yeah no need for both IMHO. Like the journe but received lack of service by their boutique so they won't be getting my pesos lol

[adamlea]

I'd definitely hold on to the FP Journe.

[Watchflair]

Journe no question or hesitation

[jlc123]

FPJ is awesome, but it would be the WG Reverso for me.

[sebastien1975]

FPJ, followed by SS Reverso

[bzabodyn]

FPJ by a mile. Also looks great on tan/brown colored alligator straps. On my short list.

BZ

[p_mcgee]

I'd keep 1 & 3. #2 would be easily replaceable if you ever changed your mind.

I've seen photos of that combo...will likely give that a try before I decide

[TimeOnHand]

FPJ for sure!
