There’s not another FP Journe out there so idk where they are going with their money anyways. Also they’d be selling into the worst watch market in over 5 years so they really screwed up not selling 2 years ago lol

Will they now collect MBF? Debethune? What other independent really has the breadth of catalog etc to entice a big collector. I’d probably revert to Patek if I was wealthy and exited FPJ.
It seems like a lot of the independents that started hitting when I was building my collection are now massively waitlisted and impossible to get.
