Visited a FP Journe boutique 3 years ago and expressed interest in a CS and a LN. This year, right before Christmas I received a surprise email - and the rest is history. As an icing on the cake it comes with a great serial number.. by the way what do I m...
So here’s my story. I started with Panerai, and jumped straight to Audemars Piguet. I still remember the excitement of unboxing the Pam111 and the years spent eyeing the royal oak offshore but couldn’t get myself to spend that kind of money on a watch. My...
It’s interesting; I also got into watches via panerai (had to wait for my 359, back then, so got a sub-no-date to fill the void back then), then AP and then independents (FPJ and Gronefeld and Frodsham etc etc). A friend also started with panerai and ende...

What a beautiful catch. Also thank you for writing a little about your interest and collecting Journey. I highly appreciate it. I hope your new piece will bring you many hours of enjoyment. Christian

Thank you everyone for the warm welcome and sharing. It’s amazing how a common interest can bring together people with different backgrounds from every corner of the world. ...
