Thank you :-)...
Glad you enjoyed it 
, my understanding is that they did the following watch aswell for SFT and the CS Tricolore and this watch were sold as a set, there was also an FPJ wall clock offered as part of the set but I haven't seen a pic of it yet unless someone here knows how it looks like:

Chronometre Souverain "Tricolore"
For the past year I've been falling slowly but surely in love with FP Journe watches, I'm not one of those collectors who is too hung up about the technical aspects of a timepiece but am driven by the aesthetics and the play of light on the dial and case,...
Thanks Allen, if I didn't see yours I wouldn't have...
fallen head over heels for it thank you S
Salman, wow, what a cool watch!
And I never thought I would use "cool" to describe an FPJ! Beautiful, whimsical, elegant, these are the words that typically come to mind when describing one. But yours has the added (and delightful) cool factor! Congratulations on the acquisition. Wear i...
Tricolore CS
I have the 40 mm in platium with the silver dial which i love but this one really pops . a classic beauty a dressey and sporty watch all in one enjoy. You are starting the addiction out right . Wear in excellent health congrats.
Wow Congratulations!!!
Thanks for sharing some beautiful photos. I love how you caught all the jewel sinks on the movement. They are just glowing!!!! This dial color combo in indeed rare and looks great on your wrist. Wear it well! Best, Brad
Thank you Brad :-) it was my pleasure...
my photo skills are amateurish at best, so your kind words meant alot S
Wonderful piece...
Congrats Salman. Really like this limited piece, very different and interesting. May you enjoy it for many years to come!
Congratulations Salman..................
On your fantastic looking FP Journe. The photos do your watch proud. It wasn't until the last photo that I realised, that the tip of the minute hand was the same colour as the numbers on the dial. A nice finish and one of things that we love about the uni...
Thanks Topcat :-)...
I like your insightful posts and look forward to them thanks again S
What is "steampunk" genre?
Regarding this watch (and maybe this genre?), I have mixed feelings. Exciting to see such a variation, but overall not much to my liking.
Appreciate your honesty :-)
Can't satisfy everyone but I personally like it and find it very unique, my father joked it looked dainty but then again he's an ex-Army guy and likes Panerais LoooL About Steampunk, we had a discussion on the genre here: home.watchprosite.com Hop...
Wow! Congratulations!
Never seen this model before with this special red-lettered dial. Thanks for sharing! I especially appreciated the photos of the packaging and the manuals. Thanks for sharing the details as well. Enjoy your new watch!
Great catch!!
Well done! The tricolore is not really my favourite Journe but nevertheless the fact that you love it to bits is the most important thing!! While I like the traditional Journe better, this one is very unique and like you said, once in a lifetime opportuni...
Thank you so much Sidney for your kind words :-)...
I have other FP Journes which are my grail pieces at the moment such as the Tokyo Boutique Titanium Resonance or the Rosegold dial, Plat. cased Resonance or the Dead Beat Tourbillon and I really like the new Tantalum Souverain Bleu aswell so I hope over t...
Sounds like a great collection!
Congratulations! You really have a great collection of Journe! And some very different looking pieces so you can mix it up day to day! I agree the Chronometre Bleu look very interesting. I have to see how tantalum looks in real life! With the different di...
No No No :-) you're too kind....
I meant I HOPE to add them and enjoy these pieces in the future, I don't have any of them at the moment but I do appreciate them nevertheless S
That's a good start!
Sorry, I've misinterpreted what you've said, but you made a very good start!! Your watch is very rare which adds to the satisfaction of being able to obtain it on top of the horological marvel that Monsieur Journe have created! Especially the rose gold ma...
Wonderful acquisition!
That is a strong watch for a bold young man. I especially like the shrinking numbers 7 and 8 around the subdial. Wear it in good health! Ginger
Congrats Salman!
This is an incredible find! I would say this piece looks much better in the metal than in pics. cheers fernando
Thank you Fernando :-)...
I have to agree, its very hard to capture the true essence of how gorgeous it is in person, Allen's pic is alot better than mine. S
Amazing piece, Salman!
Hearty congrats! This is a gorgeous watch! I love the color combo -- it's so sporty, and coupled with my favorite Journe design, the CS, well...I'm floored! Beautiful! I hope you enjoy the new watch for years to come! Cheers, Daos
Thank You Daos :-)...
I'm really glad you liked it , I ordered 2 new straps for it yesterday, a midnight blue croco with red stitching and a tan strap with red stitching, hopefully my AD can confirm my order in the coming days as they've never ordered such straps before. What ...
I think midnight blue with red stitch is going to KILL...
...but I'm having a harder time picturing what tan with red is going to look like when married with the case/dial. I'm sure it will be fine! No worries! Love the watch! Daos
Here's an example of the tan...
I don't remember where I got the pic from or who it belongs to but it gives you an idea and you can imagine the red stitching: So what do you think? Go or No Go S...
Tough call
On the example you show above, I think it works against the expanse of gray on the dial. For your Tricolore CS, I'm not as convinced. I think the bright white begs for a more contrasting strap, and the midnight blue will work well in that regard, while al...
Actually I was on the fence regarding the tan :-)...
and now that you're not sure about it, its going to get the Axe LooL Zank You Zank You S
LOL!
I'm now looking forward to pictures when the new midnight blue strap arrives! Cheers, Daos
Take heart...
...after all you've got the WATCH to marvel at now! That's what's important! Isn't it fun to get a new piece? I get so giddy over new acquisitions that I almost want to sleep with them next to me, so I can look at the new watch as my eyes start closing an...
I won't worry too much about it...
Their strap is not difficult to make at all and I got excellent results from my strap maker. Here's one mid-night blue strap on my zodique......
Oooo :-) now that is a gorgeous strap and watch :-)
I love the contrast and it looks really elegant I'll be PMing you S
I love the blue strap on your Zodiaque...
I have a Zodiaque as well and have been searching for a blue strap. May I ask which strap maker you use? Thanks, Jeff.
Congrats on the FPJ CS LE
Hi Salman! Congrats on such a special rare piece. Hope to see it in person some day. Enjoy! Regards, ED-209
That is a wonderful catch!
Congrats my friend! I actually didn't even notice the red tip of the minute hand until your wonderful picturials... Did FPJ do any other time piece for SFT with this colour theme?
Thank you :-)...
Glad you enjoyed it , my understanding is that they did the following watch aswell for SFT and the CS Tricolore and this watch were sold as a set, there was also an FPJ wall clock offered as part of the set but I haven't seen a pic of it yet unless someon...
The CSis stupendus with that dial
Not saying the other variations are bad, but as others have said REALLY pops! (All these nice watches are bad for me I may end up indulging)
OMG Salman!
Sorry for being late here! But that is one rare CS you'v got there! Glad to see you'v joined the family with a perfect perfect piece! Cheers and wear it in the best of health! Stephen
You're never late buddy Stephen :-) :-)
I've always admired your great taste and your fantastic Journe reports aswell as your FPJ BL, I can definitely say you were part of my sub conscious when I pulled the trigger LoooL Thank you my friend S
I'm honoured by your kind words my friend!
Well, i'm sure you know now about the CS that seems to be made just for me?! The "Chronometre Bleu"!!!! Mein gott in himmel!!!!!!!
What a beauty!
Congratulations mate. It's simply stunning. One day I will own a CS. Love'em.
Davo mate :-)
Hope all is well my old friend, one thing I have consistently noticed over the years is how our tastes are very similar and are evolving the same way too LoooL, are we getting old or more refined and elegant???LoooL Thank you S
That first wrist shot is fantabulous!
I love the dial and packaging too. Journe and Bell & Ross have that elongated display box design which I like as its different from the norm. Awesome choice...may it bring much joy!
