F.P. Journe

Hi , Have anybody come across missing minutes indexes on CS. Thks rdgs ...  

Never seen that before

Thanks to those flaws, the watch is worth now FANTASTIZILLIONS! ;-)

in my understanding, dial is pad printed - so i don't see a logic how it can miss (if so, it can't be on 1 timepiece either). well, if it is your watch - then you've a piece unique ! Best, mahesh.,

Very unlikely. Thomas

but it is the later version

Im wondering the same as others here - is this your watch? Since it is pad printed it is very strange how indexes could be missing in su a sharp and precise way.

Lottery winner. I can’t imagine how much will it be in decades. I am jealous!

As others have said, not sure how this happened only once, and not sure how it happens if pad printed (although I guess it would be a simple fault whereby the markers are somehow not primed). Perhaps it was a batch of errors and one or two slipped through... 

Anyhoo, it'd be an easy dial swap. Also, hard to imagine nobody noticed this. May we have a picture of the back so we can see the serial number?

Dial printer who is one person, doing the printing by hand, one at a time, doesn’t notice. Watchmaker who assembles from start to finish doesn’t notice, QC doesn’t notice. Salesman doesn’t notice. costumer doesn’t notice when making the purchase. Hmmm.. 🤔...

Why mention to FPJ? To determine legitimacy? Looking at some others of the pictures the pin buckle does not look good. Perhaps it’s an early watch / buckle, buts the engraving of FP Journe is very rough.

Early buckles where fine. Not rough like this one. I can’t explain this dial but the rest of the watch looks quite poor condition

I like the orange details on 2, 3 , 8 and 9 o clock. Reminds me of the Ludovic Ballouard upside down watch 😂
