Some answers to your ( as always )very valuable input: This is actually the replica of the 1968 model, not 67, as the 67 comes with applied numbers ( 6, 9, and 12 ), and the Date Window is circled, too... So, this is the ' 68 Re Edition... I agree with yo...
Legends are Amazing....!

Amazing catch, Nicolas. It must be difficult to choose between them - which to wear first...and second.......;-) I own an original Polaris from '68, unfortunately with an unoriginal strap. Do you know if it will be possible to buy the "Polaris straps" in ...
Hi, Claus!

First of all, welcome here... So, you're also a Polaristi? LOL Feel free to post some pics of yours, here, it will be our great and common pleasure! As for straps, you mean Vikntage or Modern? If moderns, every AD may order one for you. if Vintage, I fear...
Here's a picture....I hope
By: cfn : November 22nd, 2008-09:12
Yes, Nicolas. I guess that I'm a Polaristi as well. I have been lurking in the shadows of this forum for quite awhile, but your special occasion has drawn me out ;-) I attended the introduction of the Polaris hommage in the Paris boutique in April. I got ...
Hey, Mark, It's a long time I didn't hear from you!

"Patina"
By: BDLJ : November 25th, 2008-15:57
I find that faked patina a little disturbing. It looks just that, fake and mismatched with lume on the hands. A couple of questions concerning the re-editions: 1) Do they use plexi crystals? 2) How faithfully does the case construction match the original ...
Hi, BDLJ
By: amanico : November 26th, 2008-00:14
If you have a look on the Vintage Polaris, you will see that most of them are non matching, as the coloro of the indexes is not exactly the same than the color of the hands... But I agree that the non matching on this one is stronger than the original, ob...
I will ask to JLC, BLDJ
By: amanico : November 26th, 2008-23:12
As for Compressor Cases, There were: The Polaris, the Vulcain Nautical, the Universal Geneve Polerouter Sub, and the Longines Diver... These are the 4 which come immediately to my mind, which used the Piquerez Patent, registered in 1956. As for Technical ...
LOL, Riley!

The man Himself! and now enraptured by the new Polaris While everyone was concentrating on the Polaris, my eye drifted to the nearby Atmos shelf. closer now way too close! A tray of new and old Polarii a few of those up close ladies those crazy 70s there ...
Hi, Christoffer,

The first one landed the 21 st at the Paris Boutique. JLC confirmed me that others will be delivered in Eurpoe and in the rest of the wrold at the end of this month, and at the beginning of December... Let's say 2/ 3 weeks, to be sure? Best. Nicolas
Congrats!
By: Spiff : November 29th, 2008-16:22
Congrats for your six new crowns Nicolas. But you are a weak man, you couldn't choose between the 1965 and the 1968 modele so you took both ;-) I was in Basel yesterday, and in one of the JLC AD, there was a JLC exhibition. A fully functional prototype of...
Hard to choose
By: Spiff : November 30th, 2008-04:02
It's very complicated for me to choose for one main reason; I haven't had the chance to see a 1968 in real. However, based on the pictures I have seen, the 1968 model has a major drawback. I don't like the "fake" patina. I considered several times bying a...
