    It’s a Vacheron Constantin Overseas (Brown Dial).

    It completes my sports trinity with the Audemars Piguet Royal Oak (Blue Dial) and Patek Philippe Nautilus (White Dial).

    An extra pic with three other pieces acquired last year.

    Ty sir.

    If you get it where i got mine (tokyo boutique), it would certainly be an interesting incoming thread from you.

    Congrats on your aquanaut.

    Thanks.
    I'm actually down on the list with the Paris boutique as William & Son told me to go direct to them as they aren't getting an allocation. Quoted me around 2 years so I'll have to make a weekend of it.

    Two years? From when?

    The tokyo guys told me the lists in Europe and US are long.

    In HK, they cater to their regulars.

    Tokyo was the best. I didnt have a prior relationship. I was from out of country. And while they quoted me about three to six months, my CB was ready for pick up about one month from my deposit payment. Perfect excuse to fly to tokyo.

    My only regret was had i known Mr Journe would be in tokyo a few days after my planned pick up date, i would have adjusted my schedule to meet him.

    It might have been a 2017 or 2018 release. Discontinued this year.

    Just got it this week.

    Wonderful new addition to a fabulous collection - huge congrats!
    I would love to get my hands on a CB at some point. Second hand ones have increased quite a bit the last couple of years. I assume this is due to retail prices having crept up too and suply and demand (and maybe waiting list related too)?
    How much are they atm new from the Journe boutique/retailer?

    The CB has entered the mainstream. So it has become the popular FPJ to get.
