FP Journe Chronometre Bleu

Couldn’t say enough good things about this watch. Ordered the caramel strap will be here Tuesday.

Haven’t gotten the deployant yet. Buckle is comfortable.

I cheated and paid a little bit over retail for it so can’t comment on the wait. I’ve heard the times are very long.

Buckle is fine.

Fp Journe’s deployants are very nice (using a SS on my resonance) but I understand the tantalum is white good except for the visual part when closed. ... not truly a tantalum deployant imho, more of a workaround. I’ll stick with my pin buckle.

The Journe Guy posted on his IG a comment that the CB’s halted delivery because of dial issues. Has anybody heard of this?

Thanks for reporting. I am actually dealing with Journe now over a dial issue. Perhaps related.

Congrats and welcome to the club. I have both the blue and caramel straps, but generally prefer the blue as my daily wearer. Good luck with yours.

The Chrono Bleu is in my view one of the holy trinity of the blue dials with the AP 15202 and the PP 5711.
I purchased another tantalum buckle with the second strap, this small thing cost 600€, but it is much easy to change strap now, no need for tools
Love this CB, a keeper for me.
