I have seen many guesses, but does anyone know how much a routine service of a Bleu costs? Even a boutique I asked would not give me an actual figure.

I haven't had to service mine yet but for what it's worth, I was told by a boutique it is roughly around $1600 USD. Perhaps others can share first hand experience.

It’s $1400 and includes a new band... That makes servicing around $1000 (they will put a new band on it like it or not though). Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Thanks for that. The price, while maybe on the high side, is reasonable. May well have to put my name on a wait list.

Great shot Jay! You did the dial justice there.
Here is mine next to my other 39mm blue dial. Last edited by KKO; 28 March 2018 at 10:25 PM.. Reason: pic link not working |

As an update I won't be picking up the watch until mid-May. The plus is I've arranged for an in-person pickup and for a tour of the manufacture!

Congrats! I tried one on a couple years ago when they were much easier to obtain, kicking myself for not sealing the deal at the time. You'll love it.

Journe is one of those brands that I was repulsed by at first, but has very quickly achieved "I NEED IT YESTERDAY" status. I am absolutely mesmerized by them and hope to own one within the next year or two.

I wanted to share a couple of recent acquisitions. I have had the FPJ itch for quite some time and it took me a couple of years where to go first. I have handled numerous models and tried on countless times and it was so difficult to make the decision. I felt like each and every piece I tried on, all the way from the CB/CS all the way to pieces like the Optimum and Tourbillon, where just so difficult to choose between. But then a chance encounter led to this first purchase and I honestly thought it was the perfect start. Rose gold case (I try to keep my white and gold medal watches in a 1:1 ratio) mixed with the havana dial is so playful and elegant at the same time I knew that this was absolutely the way to go for the first go round.
image1-6.jpeg I could not take the watch off my wrist for weeks. Casual wear, walking the dog, suits, you name it, I wore this watch with it. I have had this feeling about a watch two other times in my life, the AP 15400 in steel (loved it so much I had to have it in gold also) and the Patek 5205. I knew I had to have a second one immediately. But this model has caught my attention from the start. It is the perfect case proportions and I think it is a no brainer in platinum. In my humble opinion, the instantaneous jumping calendar is one of the most innovative functions on the market today. IMG_0158.jpg Now it is definitely time for a break, but I am already on the hunt for my third.

Black Label
Any thoughts on collectibility/resale on Black Label watches?

Seems to depend on the model, the CS Black in PT or RG does not seem to carry much of a premium whereas the higher end of the range such as the Resonance and Optimum seem to carry a reasonable premium (over resale of similar non black models). This is based on my observations of the resale market over the last few years.

The Resonance Black Label. Collectible ? Or just take a bit less of a bath on resale?

Super quiet here so thought I'd share one of my favourite FPJ's, especially since it was recently mentioned above :)

Absolutely amazing watches. The FPJ is an incredible brand. The Chronomètre Souverain is next on my wishlist.

They’re amazing. I like the CS more than the CB.
