FP Journe Appreciation Thread, an Evolution.

One WatchBox episode had the young Govberg dude saying that he was removing all the Octa from inventory to allow the market to settle. That would make sense that sellers are storing them to see what happens to them.

It would make sense that there are less 24hr than the Ruthenium, even if I’ve seen a lot of the 24hr around. I’d still bet that there will be more of them available for sale in the future than the Ruthenium.

Do you mean you don't feel they're well priced at that level?

I understood it to mean some resonance may be worth more and some less?

The original design has not been beat to this point imho.

Ps a ruthenium would be nice.

I just managed to get the floating indices with my iPhone. The CB has an amazing dial.

They are not like that, it is an illusion of the dial.

My grail watch for many years before I acquired her. One of the last 38mm CS before they switched to 40mm. It is interesting how the strap changes the look of this watch from a more formal looking dress time piece to a more casual cool laid back look.

One of you should dm me and sell me your FPJ

Love it. You definitely can have a lot of fun with the straps, and there is an endless choice of colours available.

Nice photos! Is it just the angle of the photos or are there some slight differences on the finishing between the movements of the CS and the CB?

It’s the light and angle. They are the same on fishing but the decoration is slightly different.

Journe is quickly becoming my favorite brand of all time. The design is so quirky and yet so seemingly timeless. I can’t get over these watches. The hardest part is figuring out which to acquire.

Dr. Golf, love that 24 hr Resonance! I just got the “last one” from a boutique last week. I’ll take delivery in Geneva this summer. I am curious to know why you chose the platinum. Also, boutique tells me Journe made 39 units of this reiteration. Pls post more pics. It will keep me from going insane and waiting an excruciating 5 more months to see my Resonance. It looks great on your wrist.

Certainly the most magnificent and earliest example of a resonance I have ever and will likely ever see.

Owned by “thejourneguy” thank you for giving me the opportunity to experience this in person.

Holy cow!1 how do I get on this club action? City? Sounds so much fun.

Your relationship with your boutique should be all you need.

Thanks @subtona! On it. That spread of watches was spectacular.

Beautiful shots. The dials are striking, and the strap combinations look to be incredibly versatile.

[JR16]

Put on gray strap for the first time today, liking it!

Looks great!

Have Been noticing FS ads, at this time I can find only a single listing showing an original dial resonance.

Just a year ago there would be 20-40 or so available in all varieties... wondering what gives?

Speculations?

I’m assuming either:

1) hoarding by re-sellers , only to re-list at significantly higher prices once the new price of the new resonance sinks in.

Or

2) a wave of purchases by collectors fearful of rising prices or flippers looking to capitalize on #1

My conclusions as well.

I’m fascinated by the speed at which the stock evaporated...

Appears all are waiting for comps to creep up... No one wants to jump first?

I wasn’t following prices or stock- was majority from Watchbox? If so, they could easily just take them off the for sale site and hold them - they are big enough to afford to do that- as the largest re-seller of FPJ they can prob then roll them back out and be the market price setter.
