If I get approved, it will be early 2023 but knowing how this thing works, I would guess summer 2023.

My RQ was supposed to be January 2021 but showed up June.

RQ is my favorite model. What size you got? 40mm with salmon dial?

I got the Pt with grey dial in 40mm. My friend got the 40mm RG with salmon dial. It looks very nice and matches the movement but I just cannot do RG. Only white metal for me.

Yes, same with me, I like the pt case. From my opinion, the best choice may be salmon with pt but it is hard to get. Very lucky for you to get the RQ. The tourbillon, resonance and optimum is my triology fro FPJourne.

When you order, you can actually order the salmon dial with Pt case and vice versa. I was contemplating it for a short while but decided against it as I am not good at visualizing things in my head.

For the Tourbillion, I like the aesthetic of the TN but the TV is like a 3D sculpture to me and the appeal is different.

I was trying to make myself like the CO but somehow I never warm up to its look.

Oh thanks! When time comes, I will order a salmon with Pt. Same feelings with me about the tourbillon, I do like the design of TN (well, the best should be T30 and T10 but they are just dreams).

At the first glance of CO, I don’t like it. The dial seems weird but currently I do like it and appreciate the constant force used in CO.

T30 is my dream watch but I can only dream.

Since RQ have 2x constant force, the CO is only half of a RQ but the natural escapement is really intriguing. I tried to make myself like the CO as I do want a trio of the FPJ most representative watches but somehow it never works for me.

I am now thinking of the double split in Ti. Probably one of the best value for a spilt second chronograph.

Hahaha, exactly. You buy two COs when you have a new resonance. The black label CO is probably the best dial I ever seen.

I got my double split in Ti several months ago. The aluminum movement is something that you must own. It is so iconic. The price is 700k including tax, which is much lower than patek and Lange.

How do you feel about the 44mm case size for the CMS? From what I gathered, it should be fine even for a smallish wrist as it wears like a 41mm sports watch.

Also, it is not $700k or you have a special special edition?

[mchen42]

sorry, one more 0 hahaha, 70k.

My wrist is about 17cm. You can check it if is good on my wrist. I feel it is good.

Let me give you more and welcome to linesport

The blue/purple dial is amazing but there is only one for the auction.

I actually prefer the sapphire see through sub dials of the Ti version over the solid sub dials of the RG/Pt versions.

The Only watch is nice but the numerals doesn’t work with me as I cannot read it

If I end up with the CMS, you will be partially responsible

I will keep that in mind. I do come down to visit the boutique some time soon. I was dying to come to the Souscription One exhibition but it did not work as I cannot find dog sitting.

I actually came and saw these amazing models. Take some photos. My favorite is still the tourbillion.

100% agree. The gold dial is mesmerizing.

I am about to pull the trigger on a 40mm Elegante in Ti for my wife to make up for a cancelled by manufacture 36mm Divine order.

Anyone else here gets their wife a Journe? Especially an Elegante? Should I join make my wife join the club?

hello again, it is me. I put an order on the 40mm Ti elegante for me fiancée. It is perfect for lady and really elegant. 36mm Divine is also a good choice but I suppose the waiting time is long?

Hi there again.

Did you order through the LA Boutique? And how long is the wait now? I am going to text my SA and confirm order with her today.

The Divine 36 is no longer in production except for the jewelry piece. I actually ordered it at the same time with the RQ but ended up having only the RQ showed up and the Divine was cancelled by the manufacture. My wife was not very happy about it…

I heard 36mm divine had extremely low production. Yes, I order that from LA boutique. The 40mm elegante may take about 1 year.

We were told by the Miami Boutique before we ordered that the 36 Divine was no longer being produced. But my AD was able to confirm an order with FPJ back then and we were so happy about it. But I guess in the end, the boutique knows better. I trust my AD and I just feel that it is not meant to be.

And one year wait for a Ti Elegante, I wonder how long my CS will be… (she will confirm allocation by end of year)

well, the hype for the quartz watch. If you want to have some 12rows diamond elegante, that might me quicker. CS should be fine if they said one year waiting time.

I got one for my mom, she had never heard of FP Journe beforehand but it’s her favorite watch now! She’s got some amazing pieces in the collection too but this is the one that gets the most wrist time.

Unless you placed an order a year ago or have a great relationship with your dealer it’ll be hard to get those pieces! I’ve heard they’re sold out of everything for 2022.

For a CS and I was told by the boutique that they will know about allocation at the end of this year and it will be at least 12 months from there. So I would say it will be 2023. It seems like everything is 1+ year out with CO and RQ way out there at 4-5 years. For the TV, I was told it may be an early 2023 if I get approved.

CO within two years is the play for anyone looking to get into Journe. It’s pricey for a time only piece but pretty much my daily. I cannot sing it’s praises enough.

Is two years attainable now for a CO?

I like your calf strap, is it the same one as the TV’s? Did you order from the boutique?
