Congrats, and I don’t feel a bit guilty ! 😂
As we discussed, if one’s lifestyle allows it then this is a perfect daily watch. So happy to see you settled on something and then had the conviction to go for it.
It’s most definitely not the “standard” or “usual” choice, certainly not predictable despite it being a Journe.
I also admire the direction of choosing one over four, this too is probably contrary to the direction most of us take or at least took initially. I for one was certainly more comfortable at the time with four lesser value watches versus one expensive one.
Looking forward to seeing more of this one, and some thoughts as you spend more time with it.

Hi everyone, I’m a one-watch collector, mainly for financial reasons. I’d rather own one great watch than juggle four lesser pieces on rotation. Over ten years ago, I started exploring vintage watches—first with the usual Universal Genève chronographs, an...

Huge congratulations with this great FPJ

A very warm welcome here, J! We are pleased that you have joined
I personally appreciate your introduction of yourself. You seem to have thought through your collection philosophy very carefully and I really applaud your conclusion. Most of us have chosen the more obvious path of buying several watches, typically to bu...
Thank you Christian!
Christian, your kind words, especially coming from a collector like you, really mean a lot to me. Thank you so much!
Magical color matching...
Bold contrasting color watches are not very common, but they are really unique! I always want to take a second look at them. I like this kind of novel watch. Congratulations!

Thank you to everyone who commented. It’s great to be part of a community of fellow watch enthusiasts. I look forward to seeing your daily wearers, newly acquired pieces, and those hidden gems you’ve rediscovered from the safe. I’ll keep sharing, too. Enj...
Watch out for that Jay character.
He’ll have you buying Panerais and Gautiers before you know it.
Congratulations on a phenomenal watch.
To be perfectly honest, I'm very inspired and in a way jealous that you are so disciplined. Just as a few of us, in almost 3 decades of collecting, I have more watches than I should.....and just like our esteemed moderator - I am more preoccupied now with...
