I don't like offset dials so I would go for the divine.

If you don't like offset dials then as Karl says, definitely the divine.

However I think the offset dial is a 'classic' FPJ look and somewhat of a trademark so there is that...(e.g. Resonance, Tourb Souverain etc.)

I agree that the offset dial is more classic journe, so I'd go octa lune. I also prefer that model aesthetically

Octa Lune is more classic Journe, the offset dial is a Journe trope. Nicer looking as well.

Late but agree the sub dials set on the right are classic Journe. Time on the right and comps on the left.

Also agree that the lune is what one would consider the classic FPJ look, at least up to this point in the company's life.

Personally I also prefer the aesthetic of the lune.

I prefer the Divine, too much open space on the left side of the dial on the lune.

Agreed with most of the above, the octa lune matches my minds' eye of the essence of Journe, although both are unmistakable FPJ.

As an aside, I don't really like the clover cutout in the divine, so that would make my decision pretty easy.

i'd go for the divine.

Because f what's "classic journe", it's my tastes not his and I prefer this one.
