F.P. Journe

I’ll continue to share this one as it’s been the more worn Journe in recent times for me. I made a comment elsewhere that this watch has very little wrist presence, in the sense that others will not take much notice of it. I find this to be a large positi...  

Used to have an unlimited pass many years ago.

The little wrist presence you’re talking about is huge in its humble way. Looks great mate!

It it my favourite too, but it took several years to see that.

It took me a long time to appreciate the sport line Journes at all. Now I want one just like yours!

At least a little slice of it...

The idea of wearing something that basically only watch enthusiasts know is a “flex”, while the normal passer would not be the wiser. Love the centrigraphe! Really unique complication.

I remember buying my first Panerai, I wanted the watch so much but was determined not to buy a stainless steel piece because the combination of the huge 44mm case and that polished steel would just scream “look at me” I thought. Eventually I settled on ti... 

Journes tend to be a “reverse flex” to the casual watch collector In general I don’t like flashy or causing attention; even though I do have some PAMs (they are brushed Titanium) LOL.

now that for me is true flexing

It makes perfect sense... the managers don’t want to show you things if they think you can’t afford or not willing to spend $$$ on their products. It seems this way with any luxury shopping experience.

I’ve literally never gotten a random compliment (outside of dedicated watch meetups) wearing my watches from Journe, but I routinely get “nice watch” when wearing a Rolex Exp II. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

I was just looking at the Patek 5172G before I opened this app and I was thinking that I rarely, if ever, use the chronograph function, while I do use, for example, bezels on divers for timing things. Not that that is a reason not to own a superb high-end... 

For some reason a chronograph dial has always attracted me. It might be a carry over from being a kid, the busier the dial the more interesting the watch seemed right? Especially when you were 10 or 11 years old. However, this particular chronograph seems... 

Running atleast a couple of times a day during my wearing (if not in perpetuity LOL)

looks great on your wrist

Easily believe this is a favorite on the wrist! A most tempting reference I must admit!!

Since I love special tanning gators; Would be nice to see a nice grey gator or even a red gator

Don’t curse yourself!
