Montres Journe Introduces Solid Gold Dials on 3 New F.P. Journe Watches
Francois-Paul Journe, the founder and namesake of the F.P. Journe watch brand, had long dreamed of making watches �� not just cases �� out of gold. In 2004 his watch company, Montres Journe, became the first to produce entire movements in 18k rose gold, and this year, Journe has added yet another component: gold dials for three of his brand’s watch models.The new dials �� which make their debut on new versions of the F.P. Journe Chronom��tre Souverain, Octa Automatique Reserve and Octa Automatique Lune �� are made from 18k gold and feature embossed, mirrored numbers integrated into them. The base of each dial is sanded to perfection before a layer of silver is applied in Journe’s own special process. The numbers are surfaced and given their mirror-polish by means of a diamond tool.

New Omega Speedy lost 7 minutes of time. Stopped overnight..
This is terrible. My soon to be wife surprised me with a new Speedmaster Professional two weeks ago. I noticed that it lost nearly ten minutes of time the other night. I had the flu or something like it and chalked it up to not wearing it or winding it. Well Monday I wake up and set it then fully wind it and go to work. Yesterday morning I wind it and wear it. I noticed it was seven minutes slow. I had just set it to my cell phone Monday morning as a marker of comparison. This morning it was stopped completely. It kept perfect time yesterday until I went to sleep around 11:30 last evening. I woke up this morning and checked it. It has stopped at 3:55 AM. I moved it and it started running again. It sets and winds smooth as silk. I just don't understand it. I'm not sure what to do. She purchased it online from what appears to be a reputable company. I simply would like a new watch which I don't think is unreasonable. They've informed me that I can return it then they will service it but

What effect will the DJ41 have on the value of the DJ2
Are the DJ2s still made? If suspended, are they more valuable? Or are they so common that it doesn't matter?
