An in-depth and on the wrist review on the Jaeger Lecoultre Polaris Memovox Mariner.
As you know, the Jaeger Lecoultre Polaris Memovox Mariner was issued one year ago, in September 2020, more precisely. I have always been surprised by the timing issue of a diving watch by Jaeger Lecoultre. Indeed, to me, it would have been more appropriat...
Totally agree on all points raised
Interesting discovery about the lume, as that has been part of the marketing pictures used. A really nice watch but I agree on the point you raise about the price. To me, JLC has added 10-15% too much. Not sure the brand can carry that kind of weight. I t...
Many thanks for this wonderful review Nicolas!
In my opinion, this watch would be almost perfect with a matching blue rubber strap or, like you wrote, a 100% brushed bracelet. I found an illustration of the Mariner equipped with such a rubber strap on WatchPatrol. All the best ...
Comprehensive review - thanks
Hi Great review - echoes some of my thoughts, though I still need to see one in the metal. Definitely like to see it available on a strap - as not the biggest fan of bracelets, also while it's nice to see the movement think I'd prefer a solid caseback and...
Thank you for a thorough and very interesting review.
And for very nice pictures! I really like this watch, but totally agree with you regarding the price......
Well you certainly make a very compelling case for it Nicolas! Amazing collage of pictures of well
Looks really good on a bracelet this one!
Thanks for the great review and pictures Nico
It looks a handsome watch but if I was going to buy a JLC sports watch I would prefer an Amvox. From the perspective of a dive watch I would rather have a Deepsea James Cameron. Nice Persol/Stone Island (I had to magnify your picture and google the refere...
Thank you Nicolas!
1/ THE CASE AND CASE BACK: I don't really see any Pros to the exhibition case back personally. Would the watch be slightly thinner with a solid case back? Would the alarm sound slightly stronger with a solid caseback? If so, I would consider those signifi...
Not so sure the watch would be much thinner with a solid case back. Yes, I think the alarm would be louder with a solid case back. And yes, I would have preferred a much more different lume for the minute hand.
Thanks for sharing your opinion on that one, Sir. Best, Nicolas
A very good review
Balanced with pros and cons. It dawned on me, the Polaris Mariner is a very beautiful watch that happens to be a dive watch. The dive specs are secondary to its unique looks. I much prefer the Tribute to 1968 to this, but that piece has a lower water resi...
Love the dial, though not quite...
as much as the US LE edition of 800 pieces. The vanilla indices made the watch very warm. -Dean
Perhaps the Polaris Date Limited Edition Q9068681?
Though I'm not sure it was a US edition, and lacks the alarm of course. But the "Blue Double Gradient" dial with off-white numerals is certainly beautiful, and it came with a very nice strap. If that's the watch Dean was referring to, I can certainly see ...
Thanks for this extensive review!
Your bracelet remark: "Why did Jaeger Lecoultre didn't think of a quick setting of the bracelet length, through the buckle?" Unbelievable! The cheapest-of-the-line, the Polaris Automatic, comes with a very similar looking bracelet with quick adjust! So th...
Superb pictures and nice wording… thanks el Bastardo…
the temptation would have been great ... but the dial is not black I would also have preferred an all brushed bracelet and another buckle… and I (unfortunately) have other priorities right now ... ;-( Best Ø
I have been eagerly anticipating this review!
I have been attracted since its launch, and your thorough review might very well push me over the edge, my friend. Agree that the bracelet would preferably have been all brushed. The brilliant dial is the most compelling selling point to me.
