P.S: this is a different watch from the one that you all helped me avoid. This one came with all the accoutrements and an extra strap. Thanks for all your help Inshallah this’ll be a blessed acquisition Hussam [now I know why people always posted poor NWA...

This may be just hearsay, but I read once that the CS was first made in 40, but then was resized to 38. Maybe why it's not as harmonious!

Correct it is designed for 40 mm

Later it was made with a 38 mm case. Dial and movement are exactly the same size. Just a narrower case.

Wow! Huge congratulations!

It’s gonna be a very long honeymoon…by the looks of it.

Congratulations on your Journe acquisition. But how did

you find an alternative to the one you initially considered buying and seemed to be your only opportunity?

Thanks! I was looking at both, and checked this one out in person first (mint; worn once or twice) but the one I shared the inquiry about in this forum

was a better proposition ‘on paper’ (supposedly under warranty, and slightly cheaper). So I passed up on this one (even though it was mint and worn only once or twice). One I saw the other one in person and noticed all the missing pieces and solicited adv... 

Ok very understandable. Thanks.

The solid gold dial with embossed (not applied) mirror-polished white gold numerals and mirror polished stainless steel hands are begging to be viewed/photographed with a side-light. And yes, in this case, waiting for the perfect opportunity ended up bein...  

Hi Hussam! Congratulations!

 
 By: Darron : August 30th, 2023-04:34
The first pictures in the warm lighting looks like the RG version but it sounds like it is the Pt version? Also, my view of the pictures that this one is applied numerals? As the numerals look tall with defined edges; but of course you have the best view ... 

Thanks Darron. Very kind of you.

 
 By: Lankysudanese : August 30th, 2023-04:56
Yes, indeed, this is the platinum version with white gold dial and white gold embossed (not applied) numerals and stainless steel hands. I learned the latter two facts during my deep dive into watch journalistic coverage of this watch last evening (hodink...  

Wow! Well you certainly know what you were

 
 By: Darron : August 30th, 2023-05:11
looking for. Congratulations. It looks amazing.

Hussam, congratulations. It’s been a little journey to get here but sounds like you are very happy now.

 
 By: Jay (Eire) : August 29th, 2023-22:58
This is my favourite CS, followed closely by the polar opposite rose gold MOP CS. Your watch however is most versatile, a great quality to have. A few straps of different colours and textures will really give you something for every day and any ocaision.

Thanks Jay! Yes, it was a short-yet-eventful journey but I’m very satisfied and grateful for all the support and guidance that I got along the way.

 
 By: Lankysudanese : August 30th, 2023-02:46
Once I read about the dial and numeral material and creation-process, I got hooked. I’m a big fan of owning watches with different materials (including dials) and unusual creation-processes. I’ll gladly take any suggestions of straps (FP Journe and from o...

Greetings from Hamburg and Congratulations. Im Happy for you that you found a good one.

I’m enjoying my CS on this trip. It’s a go everywhere piece. ...  

Thank you, our dear moderator.

 
 By: Lankysudanese : August 30th, 2023-13:01
I’m ecstatic, but probably won’t make it my everywhere watch any time soon. I’ve got rabid toddlers and a baby, and the scratch-magnet platinum probably won’t hold well Enjoy your travels and stay well ...  

Big congratulations!
