Not sure about the dial and movement issue but the inner bezel is wrong. Maybe it is possible for you shooting to JLC and ask if they have spare parts before you confirm. If the price is right without an inner bezel and JLC could replace, I would consider that for sure.
Just my 2 cents
Polaris 68 E859 info
Dear guys, I need your help! I can(if I'm lucky) get my hands on a Jaeger-Lecoultre Polaris from 1968. It is the European version, marked 'Jaeger leCoultre' on the dial, without the word 'Memovox'. The only thing I do not understand is that the movement(C...
Lecoultre dial = Lecoultre Movement
Jaeger Lecoultre dial=Jaeger Lecoultre movement. As a lot of Cal 825 were made, it wouldn't surprise me that it was changed, hence the mismatch. Do you have the movement number, by the way? Just curious. Best, Nicolas
Polaris movement
Dear Nicolas, thanks for the fast response! The movement-number is; 1944745 The case-number is; 1117653 and it should have been made; 1-1968 When you have some more information, it would be great! Thanks, Martijn
I do need better pics,
First, the bezel looks too narrow, to me. Then, may youn post better pics, macros also, of the dial, and the case back. Best, Nicolas
What is important is the movement number,
And yours was made in 1968, so, the good period for a Polaris. The only ting is that your Polaris Jaeger Lecoultre should be signed Jaeger Lecoultre. Best, Nicolas
some more pictures
These are sadly the only pictures I have at the moment... I have at one side a 'good' 'original' feeling about the watch, I think the bezel looks fine, may be due to bad pictures. The only thing is the Jaeger LeCoultre - LeCoultreCo issue, did it never ha...
Caution...
The internal bezel looks wrong to me and the movement should be JLC. I would suggest caution before proceeding on this martes. Cheers David
internal bezel
Hi David, I see what you mean, the internal bezel is indeed to small! I am getting more and more doubts.....
