Sgfortino makes a memorable debut on WatchProSite, sharing his recent acquisition: a platinum 38mm F.P. Journe Octa Lune. His post highlights the unique appeal and 'stealthiness' of F.P. Journe in the wild, a sentiment often echoed by collectors who appreciate the brand's understated elegance and horological significance. This article delves into the community's reception of Sgfortino's rare find and the broader discussion around the Octa Lune's design and market presence.

First time posting on the site so thanks for hosting this great community. Have long admired the brand but only purchased my first FPJ yesterday. It’s a platinum 38mm Octa Lune. I have looked back at posts in this forum and haven’t seen many (or any) pics of this one so let me share my new FPJ. I must say, I am totally in love. I have watches from several other brands but the uniqueness and stealthiness of FPJ in the wild is on another level.

This is quite an entry The Octa Lune is beautiful and I love how the moon aperture and the inscription balances the dial. The dial is so well composed with all its circles and arches. I think you are quite lucky to have found this piece as the 38mm pieces have been vacuumed from the market. I hope you will enjoy participating here at our website. It sounds as if you have already been reading it for some time. But it is much more rewarding to take part as you can make some amazing friends and lea

38mm is perfection in my mind. You are right insofar as the Octa Lune not being seen much on these forums but I’m hoping you will correct that now! Please share some more of the collection when you have time. In the meantime enjoy that Journe.

I look forward to continuing to share and participate in the forum. Seems supply is pretty constrained on the 38mm so I jumped when I saw it. A little about me - I’m 40, love in Chicago, have twin boys (5) and have been collecting watches for about 16 years now. It started seriously in about 2005 when I bought and omega seamaster and the disease has progressed from there. And progressed pretty rapidly over the last few years. My taste in watches is pretty broad but it seems most of my collection
