I was recently offered a FPJ Bleu for $35,000 which seemed a little steep
I had a CS in rose gold earlier, for half that price. How has it gone up so much? Demand vs supply, I think.
But you brought up the Presage, of which I bought 4 and still have 3 -- total expenditure for all was well under $10k.
They have pedestrian movements. The accuracy is acceptable but not outstanding. The finishing is fine but nothing to brag to your barmates about. EXCEPT for the dials.
And dials make these watches special. No tantalum, but then who would know what that means anyway. Would you rather brag about this special metal? Or the Japanese guy whose whole life has been spend smoothing this precious material before it is fired? And finishing up the dials that come alive on your wrist.
I would rather have a Bleu and these Seikos, but not for that price.
My next chunk of cash is reserved for the Cybertruck!

value vs value?
With talk of FPJourne Chronometre Bleu at some point going out of production (and is very hard to get now from Journe boutiques unless as always you are somebody , I offer an alternative which, despite being out of production (with a limited run of only 1...
Not really a fair comparison other than both have blue dials.
I will grant you that you get great value for your money with almost any Seiko watch so you have my appreciation. But not an ideal comparison. HAGWE

Indeed, great photos. I'd love to have the CB, and would gladly accept one from Mr Journe should he offer, but I find my SPB069 a surpisingly lovely watch that...
is casually elegant. And Seiko won't be offering these at that original price anymore. Very glad that I got one. Best, M
The CB is a wonderful watch that ticks a lot of boxes imho but i wouldn’t buy one at a premium to be honest
The Seiko presage line is amazing and great value for your money . I do own a few of them and wear them a lot . ...
Is the second and last photo the same watch?
I personally own two (2) starlight limited. Both the dials has different shading. Amazing value!
No these are different models. The first is the Shippo with A guilloche dial
The last is just a plain enamel dial
Personally I love that Presage, however I personally find the watch sit quite high on my wrist.
IMHO.. the Presage is indeed a great watch but absolutely no substitute for the CB regardless of the pricing.
