Or you can turn your wife into a bigger watch monster than yourself. It will be expensive but you may get a much larger budget

She got her Journe before me and she has a Tiffany Patek, she's already doing better than me!

We are in the same boat. First Journe allocation was an Elegante for my wife.

Welp I went and did a thing. Probably a bad thing since I didn’t see the watch in person. But I’ve always loved it so it is what it is. I’d appreciate some support though, even if you have to fake it.

Congratulations! I am sure it will work out fine. Do you plan to send it back to Geneva for a service? They can probably fix up any minor scruffs.

rather a good level, not sure why there is a need for fake sympathy.. don't think you can get it much cheaper if at all..

I’ll discuss it with the boutique. My inclination is to send it back for service and get it back to patrimony standard. But I don’t know if I should retain the ‘unpolished condition’ patina or if that’s not a thing with Journe. I need some counseling from the mothership.

Someone can correct me if I am wrong.

But my understanding is that platinum usually does not get “scratched” and most scratches are just the metal being pushed around so it can be restored with relative ease. Of course, if it is major damage then it may need laser welding. I have seen before/after of some superb laser welding work and it was amazing.

The factory refurbs don't seem to be noticeable because of the design of the case.
