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.

Anyone own any S. Coifmans?
I'm pretty much anti-invicta, but their S. Coifman brand really appeals to me. Large watches, yet classic in dial design.I've heard nothing but good things about them, so any advice for me?

Any of you Patek owners vintage Rolex collectors also?
I was all ready to pull the trigger on my first Patek this week. Well the offer fell through and a friend of mine said I really need to give vintage Rolex a try. He says, New watches are cold and lifeless. I said if my Patek deal feel through, I'd give it a shot. Well, deal fell through and I half committed to a vintage Rolex (1675). (based on condition, paperwork, etc, but it is apparently very top condition - not rare however).Well, now the Patek deal is back on the table as previous buyer backed out (briefly I'm sure). So, any Patek fans here also vintage Rolex guys? I have a 16610 and a 116610lv. Should I go entry Patek first or mid-tier vintage Rolex. If I go Patek, I have to back out of my Rolex agreement, but I it would not be end of the world.
