Would you buy this FP Journe ?

No, but only because the dial looks too small relative to the case size. I don’t mind the quartz. Hopefully they’ll make other watches with this movement.

Aurel Bacs wears one. It’s nice but not 12K nice.

Yeh, so I’ve been reading about this watch and I’ve gotten over the smallish dial and now I want one.

Just bought one today. Absolutely love the style, comfort and uniqueness. Several different color straps to choose from. Great deployment clasp, great lume. Wait listed like other fpj watches. Extremely difficult to find. Darker titanium looks great.

Nice, really nice
Technically very complicated

But ... too small for me
And 60-70K euro is also a different level

I happen to like this design a lot, I would buy it if I truly loved it, albeit paying $10K+ for a quartz watch in titanium, which on top of it is not water-proof... so it is not where I would pay put hard-earned cash.

Supposedly they ok’d it for surface swimming, which I think is good enough for most folks. That’s more than I can do with my Speedmaster.

It would be cool to add this piece to my collection but I wouldn't buy it in the nearest future.

Being a quartz in this case is much better than PP Luce (esp. with grey markup).
