Photo Report: Recapping HODINKEE's Celebration Of F.P. Journe In NYC
On a rainy Monday night in New York City, HODINKEE welcomed over 30 of our friends and readers to the F.P.Journe boutique for an evening of drinks, dinner, and spirited conversation about some of the finest, and most interesting watches being made today. Click through for a photo report of our celebration of F.P.Journe. 2 OF 38 Every time we host an event with a manufacture, we aim to invite a nice mix of seasoned collectors and new, but interested parties. This way, experienced owners can communicate their passion for the brand to those looking to make their first purchase. In the case of F.P.Journe, those experienced owners just happen to be some of the most die-hard fans of any brand out there. 3 OF 38 While not every guest owned a Journe, there were some absolutely incredible pieces present on the wrists of attendees. This includes one of ten T10 Anniversary Tourbillons, a black label Tourbillon Souverain (which was actually picked up by our guest on the

Does anyone own non-Royal Oaks?
Having been around here for a bit, I've noticed that no one ever posts incomings of anything but a Royal Oak or Offshore. No one ever discusses models other than the Royal Oak.Is AP really all just about the Royal Oak line? Why is there no love for any of the models in other lines? I think some of them are pretty stunning - I really like the Millenary line. But maybe for the same reasons it's not as popular - e.g. bad resale values in comparison to the Royal Oak, I'm hesitant to pick one up.I know that AP really jumped in popularity through the Royal Oak line - and to some degree Patek has become more popular with the Nautilus/Aquanaut lines, yet despite them occupying a disproportionate proportion of incoming threads, their non-Nautilus and Aquanaut lines still seem very strong relative to AP.

I'm back with a large size PO!
It's been a while since I've had an Omega, I've been distracted with Panerai as my exclusive non Rolex watch for a while now. Today I pulled the trigger on a large size PO. Yes I have small wrists, its just that I got too good of a deal on this! I had doubts at first since I previously barely pulled off a 45mm PO and this if I'm not mistaken is bigger. I put it on and loved it, Omega screams quality!

newer to me - 233 J running pretty fast...
Newer to me my J 233 dot is running a bit faster than I would like.. about 12 sec. in 24 hr. 1. suggestions for service if I decide to send it in for service and regulation?2. should I be concerned about it if I'm willing to reset it every few days or when I take it out of the box to wear? (it's in rotation but not every day)3. thanks!
