Francois-Paul Friday - #FPJFRIDAY - new straps!
n0wjsti
My straps have finally arrived, from FPJ HK! Because they do not provide any shipping, I had to get help from a friend to walk in to boutique to purchase, then ship to me. It is tough when there is no boutique or presence in my country; nearest in Singapore but borders are still mostly closed. Took some weeks to finally get them, but I am super happy!

And some quick attempts (which remained mostly that... attempts only!) at macros:
Have a good Friday, and fantastic weekend friends

Good to see we are rolling early today:-) (I took the liberty of moving your post from the Independants forum to the F.P. Journe Forum as this is where we usually have our Friday roll call 😊👍) Very cool post. I really look forward to seeing the yellow as well as well as the orange mounted. Coinci...

Yep, I needed help with some edits! Thanks for helping to edit, I got a little lost along the way, even forgetting how to attach pictures! I currently have it mounted on yellow, after midnight blue and khaki green, but the orange has not been broken in yet Some quick pics that I can share o...

I love this one. It seem to work well with the brushed case Thank you so much 😊 also interesting to hear that you think it’s a better fit than the orange. Please post that too when you feel it’s time to try it out.

Love the yellow! Just curious, you managed to change the strap readily? .. I was struggling. I tried changing the strap myself.. it was a nightmare.. it just wouldn’t attach.. I end up going back to the boutique to get them professionally done. ...

Strap change tutorial on IG via @petitsamourai Yes! I struggled for my first time as well, and considering there is no boutique in a 500km radius, I was in some trouble. I came across Laurent ( @petitsamourai on Instagram) who gave me very clear, step-by-step instructions over Whatsapp. Through popula...

Strap change warning I'm not able to see that story for some reason, but I didn't find it especially difficult to change the strap - a word of warning though, the "quick release" spring bars are surprisingly poor quality, the small tab on one of mine broke off very easily. FP...

YES! I was forcing the attachment so hard till the one at the 12 o’clock somehow jammed! .. I remember I wasn’t pleased 😄 .

Thx for the tip! Will keep that in mind and won't force it! And for some reason the link to the story doesn't seem to work. Easier if you go to the profile and click on the highlighted story; it will definitely work there

Bro thank you so much for the tip off! I will check it out ASAP 🥂 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Hands on review of the MAD Edition 1 (MAD Gallery & Max Büsser)
foversta
The big event of the last few weeks is undoubtedly the discovery of the MAD Edition 1, a watch sold by the MAD Gallery exclusively to MB&F clients who have registered as members of the "Tribe" and Friends (people who have collaborated on projects for the brand). In other words, the MAD Edition 1 is not available to the general public and it is the reason why I use the term "discovery" and not "presentation" for the MAD1. Because there was no official presentation with fanfare, except for the direct communication ... .
