Huge congrats to all the incomings guys, looking forward to seeing some pics :)
Still waiting for the CO I expressed interest in two years ago. Fingers crossed I can get it in 2024.

A four year wait for a CO is very good indeed. When I inquired about the CO, the answer was “cannot tell”

I have it on my interest list but was told that there is no ETA as it is only awarded to good clients.

Yes, it was the only watch I ever joined the waitlist for. They made me fill out a short questionnaire about other watches I owned; maybe that helped parse me as genuine?

How long have you waited? You are really lucky. I have only two watches left on my wishlist and the CB is one of them. Let’s hope I am lucky too

I heard there is no CTS production for 2023? Maybe that’s why it is under review.

My wife just got hers 40mm Elegante and she is really in love with it. She has slim wrist and the case just wears so nice for her.

That’s our life’s greatest mystery

[GB-man]

All I know is none are being imported to the US for 23. Possible those that are trickling through are allocated to the other markets?

Noob question for existing Journe clients - did they email/text you after your first boutique visit to confirm what you registered interest in? I visited a few days ago and the SAs were very welcoming, but I haven't heard from them since. Wondering whether that's normal or if they just threw out the information form I filled out after I left lol

[Spartan2009]

I visited the NYC boutique 3 times before I was invited back by my rep to discuss all the watches that I am interested in and in which order. I doubt that they would reach out to you after 1 visit. I know that the NYC boutique gets about 5000 new inquires per month and that alone would make it hard for them to keep track of everyone that comes in and what they want.

Makes sense, they did emphasize that "just waiting won't land you a Journe" (their words). Thanks

Anyone looking to get into Journe will have to show consistent interest. If we go into a deep recession you might get people on the list to drop off and you might get allocated something sooner than the 6 - 10 current wait times. Good luck and happy collecting.

Anyone have any word on where they are at with the NY boutique? Seems they’ve been delayed for some time.

The retail prices of Journe watches have increased by 8 to 9% recently. In Singapore, the platinum Resonance and Optimum are now S$218k (U$166k) and S$187k (U$142k) respectively.

Resonance will be a quarter mill by the time I’m offered lol

You have to set aside your Journe money today and invest it aggressively to keep up with hikes lol

I also found out the likes of RRCCII and Krayon Anywhere (white gold) retail at S$200k (U$152k) and S$220k (U$167k) respectively now. I really need a side hustle.

Maybe we can start a market to trade Watch future or options.

I know you can call the boutique for prices----IKIK but would still be nice to know all the prices.

then again--if you have to ask the price you shouldn't be buying a Journe.

It is? We just got notified that my wife’s Elegante is ready by 2/28. Anyone got the new price? We did not ask as I don’t anticipate a big increase.

Yes, the price increased. It will be about 16700$.

That is what I paid for my wife’s Eleganté last year. I just finished paying for my AL2 allocation this year and there was no price increase over last year. It appears to me that certain models got price increases in 2023.

US$16,700 is correct. That is for the 48mm, no diamonds.
I paid that for mine 2 months ago.
Not sure about the price for the 40mm.

Ours is a 40mm with two rows of diamonds. The Pt TV went from 256 to 277
