Thanks! I purchased a 38mm Octa Lune yesterday and actually already ordered that and the Zurich strap for it.

I’ll post a pic of my new watch when I can.

Here are a couple of pics of the Octa Lune I picked up yesterday. I’m absolutely blown away by this watch. It’s on a whole other level and am in love.

Beautiful piece.

I have an opportunity to buy the 40mm Octa in Rose and Salmon dial. It is my absolute favourite watch. I'm just curious if these take a massive hit in terms of price?

Is yours a 42?

I'd also have to move a piece but am really considering it.

Thanks in advance.

Mine is a 38mm so I can’t really say how the 40mm perform financially. I can say that it’s a beautiful watch. The salmon dials are gorgeous.

Which piece would you be moving for it?

I'll say you can almost never go wrong with a salmon dial anything. They are usually more rare than black dials, which are rare. Provided you actually like salmon, it is almost never a bad choice.

I would probably sell my AP ROC blue dial bracelet...I just realized your FPJ is a different reference than the current Octa Lune. Love the 38mm. And much prefer the 40mm to the 42mm.

Anyone here know how these pieces do price-wise after buying at retail?

I don't look at watches like investments at all (being from the Graham and Buffett school of thought). But it would be nice to not lose a lot of money on a purchase.

Thanks

They are selling for close to retail on the secondary market, sometimes slightly above

These were trading under market until recently due to the overall rising tide, and are now close to retail. You have to love them (I do) because they are automatic - many people prefer manual Journe - and it’s also a non-guilloche dial, which is different from the traditional journe dna. I love the salmon rose example as I think it shows off the moon beautifully. It’s a very classy piece. Great heft too.

Value wise long term I don’t think you get hurt. But I wouldn’t expect it to bring in outsized returns either.

I have this watch in platinum and have been watching the market over the past few months. The watch used to trade for $10k under retail up until Spring 2020. They now go for close to $70k, which is $20k over retail. The Watchbox and European Watch Company have listed several of these over the past few months in the mid/high $60k range. European Watch Company has the gold one for $68 listed this morning and already reserved. I’ve also heard rumors of this model being discontinued soon.

My pair of FPJs. I couldn't be happier with these two, they're the two Journe watches that best fit my personal style I think, and they work very nicely together as a "day watch" and "night watch" (i.e. the amazing Elegante lume, and the fact it never needs setting).

IS your elegante 40mm or the larger one? Have been debating one myself

[uscmatt99]

Messing around with my macro lens and new processing software today. The lighting sucks, but it was fun capturing all of this detail. And highlighting the fact that I should clean my watch before I try this again Mad respect for Jocke's excellent watch photos, this is not easy.
