Special Incoming!
A slightly belated birthday present and only 6 months my wife received her Eleganté I was allocated my first Journe out of the 4 I have requested. The AL2 Havana Lune was first on my wish list.

Out of all the watches I requested this one was the only one that I did not have a chance to see and handle in person. The color is incredibly rich. I love the weight of this watch. I am excited to pair this watch with a pair of cuff links that my wife bought for me during our honeymoon.

Always like the Automatique Lune. This is the very first Journe model that caught my eyes. Congratulations for the acquisition and happy birthday!

Oh that’s stunning.

I’m waiting for this exact spec too. I wasn’t sure wether to go RG or Pt. But RG with the brown down is probably too much.

Love this. Congrats

Thank you very much. Next on my list is RG Resonance. I still have to confirm the configuration on the last 2, but it will either be white dial CS and black dial Optimum or Black Dial CS and PT Optimum.

The ultimate dream is to eventually apply for the Astronomic.

Thanks, I am waiting for the green croco strap from the boutique. I have not seen that combination on this watch yet.

I went back and forth on the case materials as well. I think the PT brightens up the watch a bit more. What case diameter did you go with?

Why not a Black Label CO so you get Pt and Black dial all in one.

Black Label CO is definitely very alluring. But I guess this is a good problem to have
