Looks like CB market price has finally settled for the time being before it is being discontinued.

F.P. Journe Chronometer Bleu pricing going through the roof!

Maybe people realized what I’ve been saying all along. It’s gorgeous but has been produced in far higher numbers than numerous journes references which only had runs of 20-50-100 examples etc I think it’s more a case of the market cooling off across the board. I don’t see inventory moving.

It's a nice watch but I prefer the RG CS with stamped Guilloche dial, or Automatique Lune, or the Boutique QP, or CO or Resonance. To be totally honest, I will choose the other dress FPJ in the catalogue before the CB.

To my understanding it’s kind of confirmed that it will stay in production for the near future. Which to be fair doesn’t materially change the chance to get one allocated. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

I've been wondering whether the market has cooled off due to the upcoming W&W new releases. Presumably it would pick up again afterwards.

I wonder what is the average wait time for a CB for someone with prior purchase history?

At least that is my wishful thinking that you will eventually get one if you are allowed to have it on your wishlist. In the meanwhile, I am pursuing a couple of other tantalum options. |

Ask and see if your SA will add it to your interest list which will be a good start. At least that’s how I see it. When I asked about 1 year ago, it was not added to my list as I was told not possible. And during our last visit, my SA actually added it without my explicit request. However, when I inquire if there is any timeline, there is no answer neither. I guess it is one of those which will show up when it is time to show up. “Fire and forget” |

Pierre explicitly stated with me he never understood the craze about CB for what it is. Not a knock on CB, but FPJ really has many watches with amazing movements.

On a general note, it is probably like the Nautilius 5711. The craze started when this was the most accessible piece in the line up, so people who want to get into the brand with minimal investment was chasing it and then it became a hype piece. I personally would never get it from grey especially at current price. I think the 48mm Elegante is in the same boat now and have become a hyped piece. |

I know the market is what it is, but I can not understand why this is a 100k watch.
That said, I only see the CB prices going up; way too many people want one |

I completely agree that this watch is not a $100k watch. I have yet to buy anything on the secondary market

I know a couple friends offline that wants a cb because it's the watch to own. I personally can't imagine people pay 80k for a CB when a Havana lune gen2 goes for less 80k. From what I understand FPJ didn't increase prices for 10 straight years and increased prices twice in the last 2 years. If the waitlist is indeed 6 years and prices are increased to 55k or 60k. It actually may be better off just trying to buy this watch If it ever goes for 60 to 70k . If the demand is real. Sent from my SM-N986U using Tapatalk |

6 years ago I inquired about getting one, was told sure just need to wait a year or two, they were limited more due to production difficulty with tantalum. I said fine I'd rather buy new than used for 5% off msrp. sometimes being patient doesn't pay off.

I have to say that the CB is a crowd pleaser with its blue dial and simple style. The rest of the FPJ lineup may need some learning to appreciate. (e.g. CO, RQ, TN, etc) I bet that 9 ot of 10 non-watch person would pick CB or CS as their first choice out of the entire catalogue without knowing the price/rarity of each reference. |

For what it's worth Watchbox made the comment that Journe makes 100 CB per year out of 800-900 watches. I would bet the demand is there for them to dedicate 12% production to just one colorway of one model.
