I bought a cheap watch from a crazy man
Floating down canal
It doesn't use numbers or moving hands
It always just says now
Now you may be thinking that I was had
But this watch is never wrong

Oh wow, that is too good Andrew ! Has a compressor style, and then
the way the dial is done is spectacular. ..Just the dials alone today are getting
amazing. Then what's inside the watches is the icing on the cake. Remarkable !
Thanks once again Andrew !!!

Re: New JLC Polaris LE with blue dial
That's pretty and I'm sure it's nice. Does JLC still sell all their watches on bracelets? They used to be one of the only brands that sold "dress watches" with a bracelet.
Re: New JLC Polaris LE with blue dial
Yep, there's a 41mm Polaris on bracelet.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 10:04 amThat's pretty and I'm sure it's nice. Does JLC still sell all their watches on bracelets? They used to be one of the only brands that sold "dress watches" with a bracelet.
Re: New JLC Polaris LE with blue dial
I haven't warmed up to the most recent generation of the Polaris yet. But this is the best one so far.

Re: New JLC Polaris LE with blue dial
Lug width is an awkward 21mm.
A no date option would be perfect.
So tempted but I keep coming back to the deep sea chrono or the vintage version of that model as comparisons. Different watches, I know, but if you’re going to have one JLC, is this that one?

Re: New JLC Polaris LE with blue dial
38hour pr. Can’t believe that’s still an option these day’s.
My deep sea vintage chrono is 65hrs. My NSA is 44hrs, and these are 7-9 year old designs now.
Used around 4K I’d love to own one.

Re: New JLC Polaris LE with blue dial
I like it from that pic, but the blue they're using strikes me as a shade that is going to look different depending upon the angle and/or lighting. That could be a good thing or a bad thing.
Re: New JLC Polaris LE with blue dial
Fantastic. As the Journe Chrono. Bleu rises into the stratosphere, this sharp blue dial draws me in. I’m also not thrilled with the power reserve, and 21mm lugs are inconvenient.

Re: New JLC Polaris LE with blue dial
I hate that. Any one of 19, 21, or 23mm make it such a huge pain in the ass if you need a short strap.
Re: New JLC Polaris LE with blue dial
As we've seen with the Memovox and the Geophysic from past years, these blue-dial LEs tend to increase in value after the fact. This one's a hitter for sure.
Re: New JLC Polaris LE with blue dial
OEM straps generally suck ass (or aren’t the aesthetic I’m going for), so most of the time I’ll go aftermarket anyway.JP Chestnut wrote:I hate that. Any one of 19, 21, or 23mm make it such a huge pain in the ass if you need a short strap.

This thing would look badass on a multitude of after market leather straps.
I’m still kind of jonesing here...

Re: New JLC Polaris LE with blue dial
I agree, but the aftermarket options for small 19mm straps, from what I’ve seen, is a single not very good option. My cheap go to, Hirsch, has nothing.

Go custom. Camille Fournet makes the straps for JLC and will custom make a strap to your specs.JP Chestnut wrote: ↑Thu Aug 22, 2019 1:39 pmI agree, but the aftermarket options for small 19mm straps, from what I’ve seen, is a single not very good option. My cheap go to, Hirsch, has nothing.

Re: New JLC Polaris LE with blue dial
Peter has great gator straps. And this needs a blue gator.

I wonder how a casa fagliano strap would be custom made.

This guy probably could. I asked him about a black one.
