Collecting F.P. Journe Watches: Strategies, Tips, and Advice with Osama Sendi (@thejourneguy)

[@brent54321]

1916 Company is deep in FP. Now doing these "educational" videos to drum up interest.

[@ForeverBrooklynNYC]

Solid business plan

[@alexteeheehee]

Facilitated by the same company that cornered the FPJ market back when they were also authorised dealers of said brand. A distinct mix of time-share sales tactics with greater fool theory at work here, or am I wrong?

[@padraicsy7385]

Are Journes reliable?

[@timmytime23]

Phenomenal video from Osama and George. Two well-spoken and knowledgeable aficionados of the brand of the greatest living watchmaker, Francois Paul Journe. Thank you for your thoughts and advice on the most important brand of the our century!

[@tsj8762]

In 2016 no one gave a sh*# about FPJ. I bought two of them and they have tripled in value. Do I care? NO! The only reason why anyone cares is because they have gone up in value and cost a fortune. Buy a LUC XPS 1860 pre owned. Or buy whatever you love and forget the hype….Laurent Ferrier is another one. No one cares today but if all of a sudden they double in value the entire world will want one. People want hype and status not watch making.

LF definitely gets you more than Journe, not even considering the price (which is a fraction of Journe's now-inflated prices)

[@docsimon33143]

Kevin O’Leary aka Mr. WonderfullofBS claims he got 4 at one time. 🧐

Kevin O’Leary also said FTX is a legitimate investment

This was many years ago, at the beginning they say you could get whatever you want 5-10 yes ago

[@DavidClarke-kj5ky]

it wasn’t many years ago.

[@HRM.H]

Strategy; be a millionaire, or have a time machine.

[@wgnhsr]

Both - beeing just a regular simple millionaire doesn’t bring you far. You need a house, a car, food, pension fund, some other watches perhaps - nothing left for a Journe.

[@tusing7780]

@@wgnhsr You can definitely afford a Journe as a regular millionaire (1-2M). It might be a stretch at 5% of your net worth, which is a lot for a watch, but there are plenty of regular millionaires that spend that much on a Porsche or whatever. It's also hugely dependent on age - 2M at 30? You can afford a Journe. 2M at 65? Eh, not a good idea.

[@stewartlogan9894]

What is FP’s succession plan, since he can’t live forever?

[@sutats]

Feels like the book Bringing home the Birkin all over again.

[@Gabet8282]

Buy what you like not what’s undervalued.

[@cdm765]

No one will care again in a few years. The old man is a total creep and the stories will tarnish the brand.

[@collectible_watches]

I think everybody great watchmaker is inspired by Breguet ... Unfortunately 98% of the collectors don't get this today. When looking at Breguet from the last 2- 3 decades there are serieus gems to be found, but somehow a lot of us still thy to get way to expensive steel hyped sports watches. Daniels, Smith, Journe look for a reason at Breguet. And I know the Breguet of today is not the Breguet of 1800 but believe me ... Breguet from 2-3 decades ago is BY FAR the best value in the market today.

[@Joe-xo3xy]

It is very sad that grown people have invested time to sit snd hear that BS if you go to the secondary market, it shows you are invested in the brand?

[@kahuhipajae4088]

Great job.

[@joehughes3764]

Love Journe

[@henri-5606]

Greatly informative video, you both are advising sincerely and excellently, thank you!!! Your advice is on point

[@Ervinyj]

Innovation first, finishing second.

[@kylec7924]

That little guy in the green in the crowd got screwed lol. Looked like he’s literally wedged in between those 2 dudes. Also, what a world. You spend or are willing to spend thousands of dollars on something and they are going to tell you what you can and can’t do? Also penalize you if you make a certain decision. I really like Journe watches but after watching this I can see it’s just another Swiss money train in a different wrapper. Oh well.

[@jolly_watches]

Amazing video - great insight! Thank you to all

[@enjoywriting8207]

I can't get on board with having to convince these guys to let you buy a watch. I don't care how good Francois Paul thinks he is.

[@Leopard589]

Interesting 🤔

[@Ilikeavocados822]

If you are aware the lot was stolen you have the obligation to report it.

[@tusing7780]

The idea of needing to suck up to a watchmaker and "prove" yourself to them to be deemed worthy of buying one of their watches, is so offputting - hard pass for anyone with self-respect.

[@JA-oi4vj]

¨She knew what Francois Paul wanted and he then backed off¨ Is she referring him to him as a male predator?

[@JA-oi4vj]

Bro dont compare Patek split chrono with history, and prestige with Journe, also the silly watch is like 44mm in diameter. Any watch that the 1916 company has more of is apparently the best watch ever, folks dont fall for this trick. The reason Journe bleu is popular is because it's actually a beautiful watch tastefully made, everything else seems to be hype for watch companies and watch influencers like Osama to make $$$ of. Also the 1916 company has tons of journe´s in their vault, I was unlucky to see them all, after debethune.. De Bethune is a DOG. OSAMA sounds like a used car salesman.

[@ListenToPowerViolence]

It's scientifically impossible for me to determine which brand I like more - FP Journe, Patek and Lange.

[@adudeontheweb0]

My favourite brands are Journe and Lange, have a rise gold Lange 1 and should be getting a Journe next year form the boutique. I recently got a credor Eichi 2 which is amazing. I think Lange provides phenomenal value and awesome architecture. I think journe is quite the opposite of this with how high the horology is but doesn't take itself too seriously. Patek has never interested me too much, there are so many patek watches and owners, the main part is you can get so much more watch from another house that I can't really stomach it.

[@maximl8820]

​@@adudeontheweb0 great choices man

[@DavidClarke-kj5ky]

good choices. which Eichi 2 do you have?

Polish hands after blueing?

[@Jelloc]

It's a French brand, nothing to do with Poland

[@shuycg]

@Jelloc yes, funny. Good job.

[@Jelloc]

​@@shuycgdon't give snide remarks, do some research on the brand before commenting. Basic knowledge like knowing that it's of French origin should be common sense

[@shuycg]

You're a comic genius.

[@jw.2507]

Another dump and dump.

[@dannysimenauer5745]

FP doesn’t make watches, he makes works of art. My concern is these watches are mechanical, so how or where are these watches repaired? How easy it to get replacement parts?

[@Gravy_Master]

How and where do they get repaired? At the manufacturer’s service facility like every other brand in the world.
