Thanks. Like almost everyone else I love the CB, but I cannot justify the price. The only watch in my collection I paid up over MSRP for was the Jumbo. I have a great Rolex AD relationship and can get what I want usually, eventually, but I have zero AP relationship so I realized the only way to make the dream come true was going grey.
For FPJ, I got lucky in that I have a very long relationship with Govberg from collecting other brands years and years ago. That allowed me lots of choices on Havana dials, but would not have allowed me to jump their CB list. All's well for me though, as I slightly prefer the Havana to the CB, but it is close. Of course the CB dial is unbeatable, even with this luxurious brown, but the Rose Gold and moon phase just put this one over the top for me.
That said, if the CB was still at retail I'd probably try to buy it as well!
