Was it you who purchased this one?

Best advice would be to call and make an appointment to come into the BH boutique. From my experience they have watches just not right now. If you’re willing to wait maybe 2 years you can get one. And unlike some brands they won’t take your money ahead of time either.

Now if you’re looking for something hard to get then that will be difficult but there’s not many journes that aren’t interesting in my opinion so there should be something that calls you.

Nothing is available for sale in the boutiques. You give them your wish list and wait. I am guessing the wait is a minimum of 2 years based on what piece it is.

The good news is you don't have to be an established client to be able to get an allocation. You will probably have to start with a CS which is their entry level piece now. They won't allocate a Resonance or Optimum for example, to a first time client. They are also limiting allocations to 1 piece per client per year.

To avoid selling to flippers, they want to get to know you before they sell to you. Since you are local to the LA boutique, that is a plus for you.
As GB-Man said, stop by the boutique and talk to them. Ask them if they can put you on the list for their events, and attend as often as you can. They have events at least once a month.

Anyone got their lucky calls from the boutiques yet? Crossing my fingers...

Bear,

Such an amazing piece! I never appreciated the font on the tachymeter bezel until just now. Love how FPJ puts their design language everywhere juuuuust right

Got delivered a Bleu in the last couple of months. Was waiting four years.

Asked about joining another wait list; was told shortest list was 4.5 years...

Sheesh…at least you got something! A good one at that. Congrats.

[Skyrider01]

Just got an email from my boutique with my allocations for 2023 and the estimated delivery dates.

Congratulations! That’s an unicorn. So the CB was the only thing on your interest list?

I have it on my interest list but was told that there is no ETA as it is only awarded to good clients.

Fingers crossed and hope Santa have me on his good boy list. It is interesting that some people got a call and some gets email.

Last year I also got an email at around this time, but it was to inform me that nothing was allocated.

[Spartan2009]

I spoke with my rep. Looks like there will not be a price increase in 2023.

[GB-man]

I hear there’s no CTS or CMS allocations for 2023 (US) so I feel better about not getting my CTS2 allocation this year.

No CTS for sure since they need to complete anniversary model order...

This was direct from the horses mouth at least for the United States.

[shafran]

I was told same watchmakers make the resopnanace and centigraphe, so no centigraphes for a while.

Congrats.
What are you receiving?

[uniqueMR]

I got email as well.
Under review process. I have no clue what does that mean in regard to allocation :)

What are you requesting? Something complicated?

[llngoc]

Got my good news yesterday and am now in cloud nine.

[Rafabond]

I just received my fancy 48mm tytalite. Although I am a Rolex collector, I must say that I am in love with my F.P. it is a wonder. At the moment I only have this Elegante and the table alarm clock.

Congratulations. The orange strap looks stunning with the darkened case.

May I ask if you get the alarm clock directly from the boutique?

Yes, I bought the alarm clock in the same space as F.P. journe

Thanks. Let me see if I can be added to the waitlist.
