FP Journe Chronomètre à Résonance Back from Service
When I sent off my FP Journe Chronomètre à Résonance for service at the FP Journe Miami Server Center for the US, I was a little more than concerned. A fellow FPJ owner had horror stories about sending it back and further between Miami and then Geneva without ever getting his watch fixed right. Given the nature of setting the resonance just right between the two adjustable balance wheels and the age of my watch (2002 with the brass plates & bridges in the movement) I didn't know what to expect. However, after a full overhaul, it's in perfect order and I no long treat it like a glorified GMT! (My Chronomètre Souverain was due back from the Service Center this month, but Hurricane Irma delayed it until the end of October...)

you did well
i sent a chron bleu in when it stopped and in a week after I got it back, it stopped again. they had it for 3 months. Traded it after that. Loved the watch but didnt want to keep wondering if it would stop again. shame
Happy to hear that it worked out
Incredible watch! I use mine as a dual time as well. My favorite Journe.
Great to hear that you didnt got any problems with the service , i also hear and read some of the story’s about it .
Still i will one day add a FPJ in my collection as like the one you have here they are beautiful watches imho 👌🏻😘
Just count your lucky stars. The service I got was crap and the Journe I sent back came back unfixed.
I have almost all but given up on the brand, though I am happy for you. Best, Horo
Glad to see good things happen for good people.
And would add that your postings and videos have helped me with valuable information and insights. I'm also a big fan of your 1st-generation Overseas. Best,
