Look at this one...
Original:
The Tributes are very close to the originals.
Except the movement, which is not the Cal 825 anymore, but the modern Cal 956.
The alarm sounds like a cricket on the vintage, while, on the Tribute, it sounds like a school bell.

Jaeger Lecoultre Tribute To Polaris 1965 / 1968.
Two questions I often had to answer... 1/ Which one do you prefer? 2/ In case you would say both, how many of you own both of them. I had to answer to this question myself, when they were released at the end of 2008 and I ended with both. I cannot say. Th...
Both. Yes. Only vintage 65.
And as you know......this process has been convoluted. Steel tribute to 65 Steel tribute to 68 Vintage 65 I start here with the Steel Tribute to 65.....super cool. Others will follow,,,,slowly! ...
Top shot. Don't forget to feed the thread I will post tomorrow. I think you are the only one to...
Own a duo of JLC Tribute 1965 / Original 1965. Wow... Best, Nicolas
Another question
No question I prefer the 68 both vintage and modern. But the 65 has its charms too - I am opening up to that model slowly. I have another question: How do the re-editions compare to the originals? I think this would be interesting to hear your thoughts on...

I prefer crickets ;)
I am allergic to school bells. That takes care of my modern aspirations for now
I see the Tributes as very faithful....a lovely modern rendition
Comparing 65 v 68 is hard. Although similar, they are so different. I think of it like this....65=Aston. 68=Porsche Both fantastic. 65 has more class. 68 has more force. If i was pushed (and i rarely am...lol) I would go 65 over 68, but I would find it di...
Replying your question, and knowing my greediness I would say I´d love to own ...
... both versions, but I want to be honest: I love much more the looks of the 1968 model due to the big luminous creamy indexes which give a very distinctive and particular personality to this watch. A look that I really love and I´m doing my best to get ...
Hmm...
I own the '68 Tribute but rather fancy the '65 Tribute as well. The '68 is more bold to me whereas the '65 is more understated elegance. I would own both if the opportunity presented itself.
