FP Journe Chronometre Bleu
Picked this beauty up today and can't say enough good things about it. It's stunning. Both the dial and the movement are a sight to behold.

Truly one to experience in person to fully appreciate.

Some pics!







I'm sure there will be many more pics taken of this one that I know I'll share.

Cheers!

Congrats! One of my favorites.

Are they easy to get or is there a waiting list?

Congratulations!

It looks like we are seeing a lot of CB on the forums lately. Nothing wrong with that, it is a fabolous watch and it deserves this popularity.

It does not fit into my current 'master' plan but I would definitively add one if I had he budget.

It's got that jewel-like perfection thing going on, from every angle. In a big way. Great watch, enjoy it.

I think it depends who you ask. Most ADs might tell you there's a waiting list. Independent watch dealers might have a different answer.

Congratulations! It's a truly wonderful piece -- mine has been getting a ton of wrist time since I got it. Also keep in mind that strap changes are the easiest of any watch out there, I think, so you can change it up at will:
