So i am not too familiar with the brand but i LOVE the chronometre bleu since i already have a AP 15300 i wont bother with a 15202 yet unless i sell it, so instead i thought about keeping it then thought about getting a ceramic diver but i noticed i am not a fan of thick and heavy sports watches that's why i got a 5164. Now i am deciding if the FPJ chronometre bleu is worth it and whether or not i should look for one and pull the trigger.

I had an FPJ CB. Lovely watch. Awesome dial. Love the tantalum case. The only thing I did not like was that it was too thin for me.

Go try one on. They don't hold value that great, so buy it right. Too small for me, but amazing quality and finish. Toured factory in Geneva and great group of people (family feel).

It's a must try on piece before buying IMHO.

im quite fond of mine...great weight and size for me, but as others have said, you should try it on first

What kind of value are we talking second hand? Not many out there. I've been thinking of adding one myself

You can find used for about $16k or less (takes a little work).

Cool watch, but other "blue" watches I like more. Add a different FPJ would be my 2 cents.

So get another FPJ instead of the CB?

Yes. I you want an FPJ, I am in love with the centigraphe. But also look at chrono souverain. And octa lune

I don't think you can go wrong with an FPJ. FPJ is top notch in terms of overall quality, innovation, and design, not to mention movements that I think go toe to toe with PP and ALS.

I think they hold their value pretty well, but even if they didn't, who cares? Check out the entire line and get what you love. Someone else mentioned the Octa Luna. I really like tha tone too.

Happy hunting.

It's an amazing watch from a great brand. I'd love to have the CB.

tigerpac · 24 June 2015, 01:18 AM

I went with a CS new all-gold dial but also love the CB.

sierra11b · 24 June 2015, 02:04 AM

Get what you like and don't look back. It's a beautiful watch.

zama · 24 June 2015, 08:22 PM

I think they look awesome would have been a toss up between and FPJ Blue or what I could lay my hands on here in Australia...... similar money and no losers with either IMHO. ALS is thicker and heavier, and both have the best but this side of J Lo or Pippa Middleton depending in your preference for curves.....

I have been suddenly hit by an FPJ fever. Fell in love with CB and CS. Just have to figure out how to squeeze one in in my long and rapidly changing wish list...

lapince · 27 June 2015, 07:22 AM

They are interesting and original watches, not for me though, too dressy, their movements are amazing
