Hi Nicolas,
As always thanks for responding to my post. I do sincerely hope they reconsider. It really saddens me that they have not managed to resolve the problem. As I said in my previous post I would have liked to have the option of a dial that has the indices in the same colour as the 12,9,6.
It is a fantastic watch no question there and I love wearing it, but it is slightly let down by the lum factor in my humble opinion. A diver’s watch specifically should be luminous irrespective of whether we actually use it for that purpose or not.
Stay well and thanks for a fantastic forum

POLARIS 1968 ORIGINAL 1ST VERSION DIAL TOTAL PRODUCTION #'S ?
Can anyone confirm just how many of the 768 pieces produced actually have the original fully luminated dial? I posed this same question to my local AD recently. I was advised that they asked representatives from JLC who stated the approximate number sold ...
Well, at the beginning, it was around 30
But I can tell you that it is much more. Around 6 time more. Best, Nicolas
Thanks for the information.
Nicholas, I greatly appreciate your input, I have been watching this board ever since I learned about about the POLARIS early last year. The members here have always had more insight and information even before my AD's have learned anything. As a fledglin...
There are 3 types
of 68 Polaris. 1. Peach-index with full lume 2. Peach-index with Arabic lume only (6/9/12) 3. Corrected-index (with Arabic lume only) Nicolas, do you have ballpark numbers of #1 and #2 please?
Do you have a pic of the 3rd dial, JPSF?
Because I only saw the 2 first dials. Less than 200 came with the all lumnious peach indexes dial. To me, there is only a 2d variant, not a 3rd, so I am very curious to see this 3rd dial... Best, my friend. Nicolas
3rd dial is based on the story I heard. Maybe I'm wrong.
I'll get back to you with more info. Are you saying that #1 is less than 200 pieces. Then, # 2 is how many? Thank you, Nic. Jean
Simple Jean
I'm so happy I found someone worst in Maths than me.. 768 - 180=? ROFL. As for the 3rd dial, I think there is a confusion with the proto dial... Check please, and tell me. Best, Nicolas
Any chance of getting a full lum dial in the future
Hi Nicolas, Do you think that JLC would ever consider doing a replacement version of the dial that had the lum of the 12,6,9 applied to the indices as well. I for one would happily purchase it if it was available. Best MS
I fear ...
There are no chances, from what I recently heard. But maybe JLC will change his mind, and release them? Best, Nicolas

Thanks, Mark
For your nice words. I totally understand your relative disappointment about the partially lumed dial. I'm not happy with this detail. But I still love the Polaris, as it is, even with this detail, a fantastic iconic watch. Best, Nicolas
