Unfortunately I didn’t have a chance to take pics for cb and 5711 movement because of ref#. And a better portion of movement versus case makes cb looks better imho. |

Wait Time
As a quick update, I was told the waitlist for the CB is now over 3 years (50 person+) at the LA boutique, and not much better, and possibly longer, at other boutiques.
I received mine after approximately 6 months but the list was significantly shorter even earlier 2018. |

Man the pictures look amazing and you say they don't do the watch justice? I can't wait to see this in person!

It’s easier to get in the tokyo boutique. I just waited a month or so.

May I ask when did you place your order? Also, if CB was the first FP Journe you owned from their collection? When I was registering for waiting list, my current collection etc matters I believe. Lucky you and congrats! |

I reserved early this year when i was planning a June trip to Tokyo. After about a month from placing a deposit, my order arrived. But my trip got postponed to October. So they sold what arrived and by the time i got to tokyo in October there was another one.
Yes my first. Hopefully not last. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk |

Tantalum vs. Stainless Steel
Does anyone know if the Tantalum case is more scratch resistant vs. stainless steel cases that's used in most other watches? Thanks.

Tantalum is a very hard metal and the dark color does well to conceal any light marks.

I agree the Tokyo Boutique seems to be faster.
I put an order in April this year and received it in June. At the time I was #9 on the list. The sales person said people ahead of me could not take the order so I had the opportunity to pick it up. Entire conversation was done via email, no deposit required, and this is the first watch I've bought from Journe or anyone for that matter. The CB is my first watch! |

Just got word from the boutique that a tantalum deployant buckle is now available for the CB.

Submitted my application to the LA boutique a month back - was told there are about 40 individuals on the list ahead of myself.
Fell in love with the Chronometre Souverain I tried on in the mean time ... still have my fingers crossed that the CB list moves quicker than expected and can treat myself to both in the near future!

It is a great looking watch.
Quote:
This was after I had already told them it would be my first FPJ, so maybe they took that into account in giving the timescale. You can join the list with no deposit, after filling out an application form, so I guess I have to hope that a lot of other potential customers have signed up with no major commitment needed and will eventually pass when their name comes up :-) 4 years seems a lot compared to what some have quoted on this and other threads, but they are a low volume manufacturer and I suppose any spikes of interest from favourable online reviews or threads such as these could easily add substantially to the wait time. Also, I don't have a sense of whether that 4 years is only going to reduce, or is merely their best estimate taking into account other Journe clients who might decide they want to order one and quite understandably be allowed to jump the line ahead of people like me. Still, I don't imagine the watch will be any less attractive in 2022-2023, so I'm in for the long haul if necessary. Sent from my ONEPLUS A6013 using Tapatalk |

Demand for the CB has spiked just in the last 9 months or so. A little over a year ago, I walked into the Miami boutique and they had one available for sale right there and then. In January, the list at the same boutique was less than 10 people. Around March is when things started to explode. Miami was around 20 people, Geneva was a year and a half wait. By August, they were saying at least 2 years. And now even longer. Yes, the time you were quoted could be reduced by people on the list passing, but could also increase if prior customers get in front of you. When I got on the list in January, I was told around 9 months. I got it in 6. Of course things have changed since then. Hang in there! |
