Update, neither the Community Nor my girlfriend helped me
I went Back to the Boutique today. Pretty much all of you told me to buy it. My Last Hope was my girlfriend. She doesn't Like Most of my watches and I had hoped that she would tell me to stay away from this one. But even she liked it and she told me to get it. So I decided to order one. Attached a wristshot from today. Now it's time to wait until i can Pick it Up.
No thank to all of you for Not helping me to resist 🤔😂

Well, at least it seems to look good (right size) on your wrist.
I also prefer the contrast the rubber brings to the watch. Without it, the watch (in all metals) just seems too formal to me.
Looking forward to the pictures when it arrives. It might be the first one here, or at least I don’t recall seeing anyone regularly post one.
It does look a Lot smaller on the wrist than the 44mm would make you believe [nt]

Terribly sorry for your [gain]😂
Congrats! Why couldn’t you walk out of the boutique with the one in the photo?
I wasn't prepared for such a buy when going on vacation, so I couldn't pay it on the Spot on a saturday [nt]

Congrats, but...
...I believe Journe has jumped the shark, lost the way, not half the man he used to be.
Can't speak about him personally, but his creations have Always been a bit unconventional.
So changes are to be expected.
Thats beautiful.
Looks great on your wrist. I remember trying one in the Miami Boutique when they were in Bal Harbor. Very tempting, had it next to my centigraph. Unfortunately, I could't afford it.
You've learned something, my friend.
You've learned never to ask this Community to give you reasons not to buy a watch. This Community is incapable of suggesting reasons not to buy a watch. This Community has been Vladded. This cannot be denied. Just enjoy that rattrapante. In the future look deep within your soul for reasons not to buy another watch. If you cannot find any then you've been Vladded as well. Though I think that's a foregone conclusion.
Congratulations
IMHO It is one of my most 3 awesome modern rattrapante.
I give you one tip that most of the time will save you from buying one specific watch.
Go see and touch another dream watch then dream for another grail watch.
That's definitly one way to deal with it.
On the other hand the other rattrapante watches in my grail list have serious disadvantages compared to this one so they wouldn't be able to keep me from buying this one.
There‘s actually one other in my grail list and two honorable mentions.
The other grail double split would be the Patek 5370P. If I would rate purely the watch, it would beat the FPJ with its finishing, enamel dial and pure beauty. Taking into consideration my collection and the price point, I‘d rather buy the FPJ rattrapante, the chronometre optimum and a 5170 for the price of the 5370. Also, the FPJ rattrapante is a bigger contrast to the other watches in my current collection, which makes it more desirable to own for me.
Honorable mentions go to the Habring Felix Doppel for the history and making such an accessible double split and to the ALS double split for its great movement, detail and finishing. The ALS doesn‘t make it into my grail list because it‘s too thick for my taste.
What‘s your Top3?

It’s a terrible choice - only option now is to sell it for cheap. Let me know when you want to deeply discount it for me [nt]

😋 I will probably sell one or two other watches from my collection now.
I want to keep the number of watches in my collection stable. So you could buy one of those. Not necessarily heavily Discounted, though.
When I see the wrists hot It makes complete sense.
It looks perfect on your arm! I think you will be very happy with this watch.
huge congratulations. I am so happy for you 
Please post a lot of pictures and tell us about your experiences with it.

Your welcome 🤗 for not helping you 😂
Great choice my friend and looking forward to see your pics . Congrats in advance
Congrats... looks wonderful in this shot...
Waiting for more wristshots when you receive the watch...
Congratulations!
It's a beautiful watch, congratulations!
For a split second watch it sure is incredible value, especially when you compare it to the 5370P like you did!
Enjoy it!
