Found: F.P. Journe's Souscription Tourbillon #9, The Ninth Journe Ever, For Sale
While Phillips' second Geneva sale features some monumental vintage pieces from Rolex, Patek, Vacheron, and others, they also have a few modern pieces that have collectors buzzing – none more so than this Tourbillon Souveraine from F.P. Journe. But this isn't your typical Journe tourbillon – nay – this is one of his legendary "Souscription" Tourbillons – the first 20 wristwatches he ever made under his eponymous brand. 1 OF 4 Borrowing a page from A-L Breguet's book, Francois-Paul Journe did not have the necessary capital to launch his own label back in 1998. So, just like Breguet did when rebuilding his own manufacture after the French revolution, Journe reached out to 20 existing clients and friends to ask for a down payment on a watch that would come later. It was the funds raised here that he would use to build 20 tourbillons in a 38 mm platinum case with rhodium-plated, brass movement. The dial is the now legendary sparkl

Basel teaser
From Omega's facebook pageandphoto credit AnthonyTsai at puristproI am very excited about this watch. Now there are many many ways for Omega to screw this up: XL size, saphire back, 18 mm thick, fake patina etc. But if its done right I think this will be a winner. The case and chamfered lugs looks great, no date complication, just a clean 3,6,9,12 dial.

PAM 111 decision

I understand after G its sandwich (not sure of year ?)but which i more desireable please? in my mind sandwhich is more panerai representative - but in that painted, was phased out -is it worth trying to get one?and ..... can i get a idea in GBP what i might look to buy one for please?thanks peeps
