The pleasures of a good cup of tea cannot be underestimated
I love tea as well - whether oolongs, green tea, or black tea - each type of tea has it's time and place.
I cannot imagine a day without tea!
Our watches are much the same.
In a busy workday, a cup of tea, a brief glimpse at what's on our wrists ... these are the little restoratives for our souls.
Congrats on the lovely Polaris and the Nepali tea! I must get some Shangri-la to try as well.

On hunting targets......and hitting three in one shot.
Forgive the meandering here........ I have a few obsessions in my life. One of them is tea. Oolong tea is a particular passion. But Darjeeling is also a particular favourite. In terms of black teas, I have found just one that I really love from the Amba E...
Congratulations Joe
for your superb catch. And oolong is one of my favourite tea. cheers.. Ronald

exactly....my day is split....
......Shangri-La Gold/Amba Estate at breakfast. .......Oolong at 11am. ......Green at 2pm. A routine.......and each day a variation within the Oolongs and Greens. Each day a treasure.
Joe this one is a killer. You know better than anyone else how long it took me....
To find one, and how I found it. I am so happy you found another one, my friend. Which is, moreover, not only in great shape, but I can say, in this JLC version, a bit rarer than the Lecoultre, from what I could see in the market these past ten years. Now...
Now that's a good weekend
Joe, thanks you for an interesting post. I know something - but not very much! - about tea but I\'ll be the first to admit my palate for the stuff is pretty unrefined. In SE Asia where I now live it\'s mostly Chinese teas (which I find pretty impenetrable...
For Hermes, Paris is the place
She said, you still owe her a bag Hope we can make it in London...
i guess....
.....i just grew into my teas. Probably like most, i started with black tea. I really only discovered Darjeeling in the last 5 years....i found that I had to drink it without milk to appreciate it. Now it is one of my favourites. From there, it is just a ...
Congrats Joe! That´s a great three catch for sure! And as the hunt was made ...
... during a Parisian gathering I am sure that both the friends meeting as well as the place must have added charm to the thrill of finding those treasures! I wish you´ll enjoy the three so much, and look forward to know some pictures of the 1965 Rolex as...
ahh! Sorry Joe! My mistake. A great finding it is of course! Such a ...
... lovely timepiece and a great addition to your collection. Enjoy so much Joe! All the best, Abel.
Wow, that is just superbe!
Congratulations on both the tea and the Polaris. What an amazing catch, my friend! Best, respo
Paris is very dangerous city and you are the killer my friend :)
Truly handsome watch...I need to visit Rolex forum now ...and we need shot of your Polaris family
Aahhh.. Now I start to understand, what you did during this hour or two at a common hunting ground.. Sincere Congrats ! :))
This not only is a very rare catch, it\'s an uber-rare one AND a beauty ! And I missed seeing it, also ! .. - ll, hope we can make up for that.. Very hapy for your three in one, my friend ! Unitil next time ! Have a great week, Best, hs
Hmmhh.. Probably true, but I never have persued that.. Also given the soaring prices, apart from finding it in first place..
.. Thus, this one has remained elusive for me. But maybe I should try for the ss TT 65, Paris Boutique version which is even more difficult, I guess. We will see.. Sooo many targets.. Best, hs
to be fair.....
.....there is not a lot of difference in price between the TT65 steel and the original.
Home run! :)
Huge congrats, my friend! This is a absolute beauty! Funny that of all the Polaris, you have the three versions I don't have. If you get a vintage LeCoultre 68 we have all the versions, but on one the same... Best Blomman
Congratulations
Congratulations. Happy to hear about the watch. Look forward to seeing some more photographs of the polaris in the future!
