Yellow gold dial ...
Thanks Geo,
You set somewhat of an aesthetic benchmark around here, so I am pleased you like this choice.
Even thought the Journe company (at 10 years) is young in horological terms, I think this Pt/YG combination will become historically significant as time goes on.
It's a real pleasure to wear and the dial takes on many personalities depending on the ambient lighting conditions.

It will be a Freaaakie Friday, my friends.
So, this one is very " à propos ". HAGWE, All! Nicolas...
Graham, Bernard, All the Freaaakie guys, where do you hide? :)
Superb in rose gold, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Enjoy the rest of your stay
in the US Andrew. Great time of the year for traveling, love your Journe. GEO
Unfortunately I am back home ...
... with only happy memories (and a couple of watches) to remind me. Always great to be with fellow PuristS, and I was lucky enough to catch up with some in New Orleans and LA. Hope to meet you at IGOTT2 next May. Regards Andrew
I wear it quite often, though...
It was on my wrist this whole week... The only problem is that when you go to a dinner with it, everybody is touching it, and rotate the bezel, so, at the end, you don't know what time it is, anymore... Super duo of Freaaaky watches, by the way! Best, Nic...
I have not....
seen this one on your wrist before my friend.... Do you wear it often? HAGWE Cheers
Hey Pink
Oh I have posted this one many times before, but probably most in the Wrist Scan or UN forum. The Freaks are lurking about. respo
lovely pic Nicolas as ever, and freak and flowers go well together respo
i think its the shape of the bezel that gives it a floral look. definately one of the best watches out there, but not liked by everyone as it is so far out on its own. best Graham
Can't agree more on the special look of the Freak.
Not everybody's taste, but would a Freak be everyone's taste? Best, my friend. Nicolas
Thanks, Howard.
Feel free to say what you are thinkning. I am happy to listen to you. I have had a disappointment in my latest search, but not giving up yet. HAGWE respo
Back from a long trip
One full week traveling with a single watch is another form of torture. Back home, swapped several watches until I landed on this one: It's good to be back to my stone garden: My warm thanks to "you know who" for the strap hint. It's a very nice strap. Ch...
Great photos of the Legend
I really like this Legend a lot, especially without the date, like yours. Great photos -- very tempting... respo
Freaks are very, very nice but my choice is classic...
... and what a classic design to enjoy all weekend. Day ... AND night ! Especially at night ... A very good start into the weekend to all here ! Regards Moritz This message has been edited by COUNT DE MONET on 2010-07-29 15:18:58 This message has been edi...
Very elegant....
What are your impressions of the honey gold compared to rose & yellow gold? Thanks Cheers
FREAKY 1815 -- A TRUE SHADE SHIFTER !
It offers actually ALL shades, depending on the ligt: outdoors a very light RG, more like light champagne. Indoors a clear YG. BUT the FREAKY ( here it fits to the theme ) thing is that it always tries to escape to WG, just for a glance, a milli second. H...
Thank you....
I appreciate your review... I am not more intrigued to see it in metal HAGWE Cheers
Right your are Count!...
A most beautiful piece. I haapen to have one too... HAGWE! -- Richard....
ELEGANCE in PERFECTION !
The Lange 1 moonphase makes the Lange 1 just accomplished and adds a huge chunk of elegnce to it . A great piece ! Regards Moritz
Beautiful, as always, Richard.
Can't get rid of admiring this German Beauty. HAGWE, my friend. Nicolas
Sober beauty ...
Thanks for sharing this wonderful Lange here, Moritz. Lange nearly always manage to present watches that are very Teutonic in nature but have a wonderful inner life and warmth. This used to be more apparent, to me at least, in their movements, but I see i...
Avec plaisir !
It has also quite a Vacheron Constantin look, to me ... But overall: very authentic appearance as the name 1815 suggest ! Regards Moritz
A Freaky theme ...
Hi Nicolas, I need to spend a bit more time with this watch to make a final decision, but it looks great on your wrist. I went 'freaky' last week with the De Ville Dynamic, and that's as far as my collection goes at the moment. But one never knows ... Her...
Naaah, Andrew...Another one?
That's Freaaakie! Can't wait to see what you're hiding... Best, Nicolas
Peek-a-Boo …
Some of you may have noticed this watch travelling with me in the US recently, but as it is becoming a tradition to introduce new watches on the Friday WristScan thread, I give you my ‘new’ F.P.Journe Octa Rèserve de Marche in Pt with YG dial ... Andrew...
Congrats on an excellent Journe...
I'd break my Octa out, but it is way too humid for a leather strap this summer... A
I knew you would appreciate it ...
Thanks Aaron, I knew you would appreciate the original Octa RDM. In fact after the Tradition and now the Journe, my collection seems to be following in your footsteps. I guess we can't help good taste! So what should I get next? A
Your turn to tell me...
I haven't bought anything since my Journe so the time has come for me, but I don't know what to get... A
Wish list:
Well this is what is on my Christmas Wish List: GO Senator Chronometer (not yet settled on metal) ALS Lange 1 Moonphase in RG Vintage Royal Oak ... [ I can hear my wife's voice in the background: "Which Christmas is that, Dear?" ]
I'm waiting to see the new Lange 1 Automatic
with the full-rotor movement, but I've been looking into the GO Chronometre too A
Didn't you buy the other half?...
Very nice, of course. Is that it for the Stateside acquisition plunge, or have you more to tantalise our senses? Cheers, pplater.
Unfortunatelly.....
I do not own a Journe.... But I am flirting with the idea.... HAGWE Cheers
Keep flirting ...
It took me a few years to decide to get this one, but it was a fun process. A
You picked the best color combination, at least
the one I would have picked too. It's just beautiful this Journe. GEO

What, 500 posts already?
My, how time flies when you're having fun. An update of a previous photo.This time with my LLD... HAGWE All Richard....
Congratulations. They certainly rack up quickly and ...
... you have done it with great style, Richard. Always enjoy your photography. Keep it coming. Andrew
Thanks Andrew
Its a great community to belong to. After all your recent posts, I hope you get the chance to catch up on some R & R. Regards, Richard.
The Anti Freaaaky watch, by definition, and a gorgeous one!

Freak cases, freak dials, mirror images
Farve Leuba Moon Raider (36K, of course) HAGWE, Ginger...
Wow, Ginger.
Freaaaking picture of a super Freaaakie Duo. Love that funky watches, and I also have a great weakness for this brand. Best! Nicolas
Cooooool...
Thanks for sharing this great collection :o) Very nice indeed. Best Chung
What a freaky-funky pair of twins!
Do you know from which year they are? HAGWE Blomman
No more precise dating available than early 70s
Big case (40mm +), but with hidden lugs so wearable for me, fiberglass caseback, original bracelets, lightweight and great for summer. I kept the one on the right and gave the other my fashionista daughter. G
Fie, Fo, Fum, I haven't got a Freak, chum!
Will this do? Silberstein / Calabrese Wandering Eye Hours...
very funky Silberstein. i have an NHC Ottica, but all black
no where near as funky as anything Silberstein could produce. i think you could be Cen's long lost american cousin best Graham
Yes, it does!
What a watch... Wise and crazy at the same time. I love it! Best, Nicolas
Yes!
This watch does definitely fulfil the freaky requirements! Best regards, anaesdoc
very fruity Reneo. i miss my meistersinger and often think about rebuying
just another one on the huge list of regrettable sales and future purchases this pic has to be a choice for the masthead competition. best Graham
"Freakless"...
Sans Freak; Freak-deprived; in negative-Freak mode; horologically disadvantaged, Freak-wise... As it is still half-way through the working day here in Dullsville, a more conservative approach is in order. Accordingly, it's the same offering as last week (...
You don't seem to be too horologically disadvantaged ...
Seven days with this DeBethune? Still looking great. Congratulations again. Andrew
i dont know how you will survive without a freak pp :))
you have a large box full of horological beauties, but no freak.................how you must mourn at night best Graham
Many a sleepless night, G99...
... the grass seems somehow greener in the Ulysse Nardin-garden. ~Sigh~ perhaps one day, one very very lucky day, the Freak-gods will smile on this downtrodden loser. Until then, you had best guard yours carefully, and not bring it to any antipodean GTG. ...
thanks on the photo front...
thanks on the photo front PP, it was the only sunny morning in the last 6 weeks so i jumped in and took it. we dont get many sunny mornings you never know, the right Freak may present itself to you sooner than you think. best Graham...
I´ll join in with my vintage Omega, pplater!
I confess to be the same sort of boring non-freak. But, who knows: if everyone is freaky some day, only the non-freak will be the real freak, won´t he ? Have an enjoyable WE everyone, freak or non-freak, anaesdoc...
For once, pplater, the Freakie Attitude was the " normality "...
So, now, who's the Freak? Best. Nicolas.
Love that Freak.
Nice one, Nico. One day, I hope to own one of those. Today, the Arktos GMT......
You know my love for this watch, Davo.
Always a pleasure to see it! One of the few I miss from the modern Panerais. One day, maybe... Best! Nicolas
You really got me on this one.
I was sure it was a kind of private jocke, but you were serious! I envy you, my friend. Greatissime catch. Nicolas
