Congratulations! It looks perfect.

Sorry about the bracelet but hopefully it’s a quick fix and you can get it back on your wrist and enjoy that beauty.

Congrats again!

Thanks guys!

I’m confident they will get it sorted. Hopefully sooner than later. My AD is contacting Journe now.

Adding a couple pictures I took today of my octa lune. The second one really highlights the blue hands and moonphase disc.

Thank you. It is ridiculously comfortable as advertised and the size is just right on my 7” wrist. Feels more like a Tudor Pelagos in terms of size but of course more svelte.

So that's the brand new 44mm correct? I had one on in Miami and I could not believe how well it wore on my 7 inch wrist. Does not wear anywhere close to a 44mm.

Congrats on the watch, sorry to hear about the issue. Hopefully a quick fix.

Looks great on your wrist. I’ve like the yellow dial a lot, however these new cases at 44mm are beyond my wrist.

I wonder how many collectors enter Journe with a Sport purchase? Most collectors I know, myself included, took some time to warm to the Sport line. Although the current lineup is generally more appealing (and broader in terms of choices) so perhaps it is a more common entry point.

I know a couple of people who started with sport pieces, but not many. I'll tell you if they still had 40/42 sport sizing I think a bunch more people would be interested. The 44's don't actually wear like a 44, but they aren't small either. It was an interesting decision to move everything to 44.

I think the new Split Seconds look amazing, particularly in RG and PT. I bet with a 42 option they would sell extremely well. Though to be honest I think they are selling pretty well already.

It took 3 platinum pieces to warm up to the sports line. My first (and only sport currently) is the Indy Octa Sport limited edition from 2012. Bringing it with me to Miami at the end of February. I may end up trading it. But it’s pretty cool.
