An update on the FPJ Lune octa Havana

[Patek_collector]

Few feedback after trying it for 2 weeks:

1- it has lots of presence and brings lot of attention
2- it is not for everyone… you really need to like the Havana colour.
3- it is so much different than Patek dress watches(being a Patek collector)… much more flashy
4- this is a watch for the very long term. I am personally loving its very uniqueness.
5- i like it more than the CS. The blue lune brings a great contrast.

In summary… the Havana is really great, if you dont care of future value because on this one, i think it will go either ways.

Beautiful.

[Value-wise, it will rocket. PP make 50,000 watches p.a. vs about 800 for FPJ.]

the rose gold with Havana is way nicer than the platinum with Havana. the combination of rose gold and Havana is really great.

800 watches a year is insane

But back to the watch in question I love it absolute beauty

[1William]

A beautiful watch.

Superb!!

boy, I do like that havana color. Congrats

Such a beautiful timepiece. Although I don't like the brown straps FPJ offers. I think the Havana dial looks better on a dark brown strap. Acollectedman has a great example of a strap that makes this dial pop, especially when in a rose gold case:

That's the strap I would put a Havana dial on. I'm patiently waiting and hoping I can get my hands on a Rose Gold Havana Dial CS, I love that watch.

Oh and the values will definitely increase on this one, I have no doubt about that.

I am getting ready to order the Zurich strap from ACM. I have seen pictures of the Havana on it and it matches the dial quite well. In the mean time, here is my CS on the dark brown Journe strap.

One of my favorite Journes. I was drawn to the Havana dial ever since I first saw them. I went with the CS instead of the AL2.
As far as future value, they have already gone up quite a bit, and I don't see them coming back down.

Wow that looks absolutely amazing! That's a FPJ strap? I am definitely asking for that one if I ever get a Havana dial, it's stunning.

Can you post a link to the Zurich strap you mentioned?

Yes, that is the dark brown strap from FPJ.
The Zurich from ACM is quite a bit lighter (they call it taupe), but someone posted a picture of their Havana CS on it and I liked it.
It seemed to be almost the same color as the dial.

The Havana dial works beautifully with both the rose and platinum case. Just depends on which you prefer.

Here is another FPJ strap on a Havana dial, the platinum CS. I love how this color works with the dial.

Ah yes, I've seen this strap. Didn't realize ACM was acollectedman lol. You're right, this would match the dial and look great with the Havana dial. Post pics when you get it!

I have seen a Havana dial with this strap. Yes, it works very well!
I’m considering getting that color as well.

[llngoc]

Congratulations. Glad to see that you made your decision. Wear it in good health.

[thatssosick]

Amazing dial colour, I agree with a few other posters that the rose gold combo is the one to go for as it adds to the warmth of the dial. This is a future classic, if not already.

[skyblue8008]

Absolutely rocks....

The Dark Brown FPJ strap looks amazing!!!

[ScottC]

Congratulations. I recently received my PT Havana Lune. Waiting on additional straps.

[cotway]

Wow! That Havana dial looks amazing! Congratulations!

The strap has arrived.
Pretty close to the dial color. In certain lighting, it looks exactly the same.

Very cool look. Looks light and bright, almost a bit khaki. A very different and refreshing look to compliment the Havana dial. Thanks for sharing!
