Family resemblance?
Of course you can all guess what I’m wearing, but Art asked last week for a dual Journe wristshot, so here you go …
Different but similar: trademark F.P.Journe screwed-down dials; 38mm Octa vs 40mm DS; YG vs WG dial; automatic vs manual; black vs blue strap; simple vs complex. They were specifically chosen as a complementary pair. Hope you like …

Filip, I hope it’s not my watch…
Filip, I hope it’s not my watch that makes you depressed..! And rather the fact that Graham state – you will not have time to see him..? HAGWE Blomman
Not only your watch ...
... combined with the other beauties i see around here . No time to visit our friend, too far to do the driving in one day .. BUT .... our friend found a new house i think, much closer to Dover and Folkestone so in the near future we can visit each other ...
JB Champion…
Thank you, Cookies! The outer links are solid while the three center links are hollow. HAGWE Blomman
Another one I still miss in my collection
But with a bit of luck, I may come with another rare bird... Superb, Blomman. I will have to find one of these original steel bracelets, one day. Best, Nicolas.
Rare birds are hard to find…
But you are the Master of that! Maybe Ebony with big indexes..? That would be a rare bird I would love to find… Thank you, Nicolas! HAGWE Blomman
The man of steel
I really like that bracelet (watch not bad too I suppose. LOL), it's the extras that make vintage collecting so much fun.
Ironman wears AMVOX III… ;)
But at least I have the right brand… Thank you, Ubik! Yes, that is one of the big benefits and fun with vintage watches. It’s like a jigsaw puzzle – finding all the pieces and putting them together! HAGWE Blomman
I was first…
Thank you, Oliver! I was first thinking on trying the bracelet on an E 855 with silver indexes. But I fear that would have given the watch less contrast. I am very happy with this combo! HAGWE Blomman
Ahh but
The guy in the picture scored the lady... with his leather strap. Great combo. Gives it a whole new look. HAGWE Bill
Aha, that is what I am doing wrong… :)
But I had it on leather strap – didn’t help… Most girls around here don’t know vintage… Except Rolex SM/SD, they have just started to recognize AP ROO (but most of the can’t pronounce it) Thank you, Bill! HAGWE Blomman
The new suit :) looks great on this watch.
I can see that bracelet disease is progressing My best Rafal
Yes, lately …
It’s very hard to find good taper straps and original buckles… Easier to find bracelets! So – yes, lately the disease have hit me hard..! Thank you, Rafal! HAGWE Blomman
For a moment i was thinking ..
... your 10th anniversary ... . Are you in town 21-22 march ? Filip
If only it was true...
Mid Age depression? Normally, I will be in town, my friend. Best, Nicolas.
HAGWE you freaky guy ;-)
I am going with my new Speedy moon phase. Best, -- Richard....
I noticed this one last week, Richard . . .
. . . and just realized this might be your first Omega - can't recall any others, off the top of my head. Belated congratulations, and welcome to the club! I've been stocking up on vintage Omegas lately, five in the last year, three in the last month . . ...
Hi Art
No, not the first Omega. I've had my blaspheme piece since 2000, which I am actually going to sell. Upgrading my blaspheme piece to Radio Controlled/Solar. Cheers, -- Richard....
There's a pleasing symmetry to this Speedmaster
Congratulations on the new Omega, Richard. Looks great on your wrist. Nice moon phase that focuses the eye. Thanks for sharing it with us. Andrew
Here’s my key Philosphy
A freak like me Just needs infinity Relax Take your time And take your time To trust in me And you will find Infinity, infinity Words to live by. If only I knew what it meant. HAGWE.
Extract from the Jungle book?
And more precisely from the " snake song "? Cool philosophy, by the way. Best, Eitan. Nicolas.
After 10 years...
...the original is still THE freakin' Freak. Good to see it still on your wrist, my friend. HAGWE, respo
Ten years already..?! :)
Time really does fly when you are having fun! To honor the happy 10 – here is my TT Freak! HAGWE, my friend Blomman...

Are you using one of those special hat cameras?
Great pair to enjoy singly or together. Regards, Richard.
Funniest Home Video
Not a hat camera, Richard, but a video of me trying to twist myselfAu to a reasonable position to shoot that photo would make you laugh. Just a tripod for this shot. Andrew
Perfect match between hands on both Journes . . .
. . . and your shirt, too . . . nice touch, Andrew!
I knew you would notice that, Art ...
... and of course it was purposefully done. In fact since I put that blue strap on the DS (to bring out the blued hands and the subtle hues of the Pt case) I find I am wearing all sorts of blues, from jeans to jumpers. Horology as fashion? Who would have ...
so not only are you not celibate
you are not even monogamous!! Fantastic shot. You must be in Horo-heaven! Best Andreas
Haven't stopped smiling, Oliver ...
... but likewise, I don't think I have actually used the DS to tell the time! Embarrassing, but the watch and Tourbillon is just to damn distracting! I'm sure I will settle down and start to use it as a watch one day. In the meantime I will just enjoy it ...
Perfect Andrew ...
you only paid for the watch/piece of art and got the smiling for free. A fair deal, even for the people around you Oliver ps: Most of the time when I look at one of my watches, I have NO idea about the time. Some call it madness, some call it love ...
That is a great combo!
Andrew, that is a great looking combo for dual wrist shot! HAGWE Blomman
Thanks Blomman. I have consistently found that ...
... Journe's look better in real life. The dials have much more depth, detail and life than I can capture in pictures. I wonder how they would photograph with anti-reflective sapphire, although I don't miss it in real life. Andrew
Not too bad for ...

It must be "Blue Friday"...
There's so much 'blue' in all the photos posted so far that it would be a shame to break stride: well, that's the excuse, anyway! HAGWE, all. Cheers, pplater....
So who is teasing now?!
Congratulations on the new addition. Fantastic iconic piece. Andrew

That's gold, Tyler - one to file away for future reference!!! Cheers, pplater.

No faith, Richard...
Perhaps it would be.... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Iq74uCotnfs Cheers, pplater.
You almost fooled me.
I thought it might be a VH but then I realised it is in fact the new Spidolite prototype. Congratulations! Regards, Richard.
