I went, I saw, I ordered........
the Polaris 1965. I was at the boutique yesterday evening. Having ordered a Polaris a while ago without actually having seen it, and then changing my mind and cancelling the order, I held the 1965 version in my hand for the first time last night and fell ...
I forgot a question....
the Polaris 1965 that I saw was a working prototype. However, only the hands were luminous. Is that how the actual production Polaris will be, or will the batons be luminous too. Picture courtesy of Jaw. Simon...
Isn't that one the 1968?
Hi Simon, Congratulations on getting a Polaris! I think the one you show is a 1968. Picture by Amanico The 1965 is the Paris Boutique limited edition. Picture by Amanico Anyway both are really beautiful. Regarding your question and after reading back the ...
Doh! Now I feel dumb.......
yes, I have ordered one of the 1968 re-editions. Now the interminable waiting begins :-( Simon
So, now , simon, you're a Polaristi!
Welcome to the club,my friend, and happy to see that you changed your mind. The Pola which only has luminous hands will be the Boutique Edition, and the noe you show in your pic is the LE of 768 pieces, available worldwide... Indeed, my friend, very happy...
Thanks Nicolas....
and it is a HEAVILY oversubscribed club too! I did in fact go for the 1968 which appealed to me as a more sporty looking watch. The prototype only had luminous hands and I am hoping that the actual watch will have luminous batons and alarm triangle too. S...
I was also having a hard time to decide between the two
Polaris editions 1965 and 1968 but finally decided that I will like the 1965 better in the long term. Close call though Asi
Me too, buddy! However being fortunate to get the 1965 ltd. version...
...I sure could forget my love for the 1968 "commercial" version. Actually, until yesterday, I wasn't sure if I should put down the deposit on the Paris Boutique version – but money is being wired tomorrow!
Wow, nice and very good news, Christian
Very happy to hear this! We'll have to make a Group Wrist shot! Best, my friend, and welcome to Polaristi World! Nicolas
Polaris group wrist shot.....
sounds like a great excuse for a trip and GTG around Christmas time Simon
Yep, we should organize it, Simon,
And I even think that the JLC boutique here in Paris may help us to organize it.... I'd be crazy for this idea! Best. Nicolas
Well, I am travelling to Florence to pick up my PAM203...
...would be silly not to travel to Paris to pick up the Polaris. I am game, Nicolas. I can fly in within the hour from Copenhagen, very short flight actually.
Wow, Christian
A Pam 203?!!!! Wowowowowowow, nice catch, you lucky guy... I'm still wiating mine, and wondering why it takes so long and IF I'll get one, of day...LOL Best, band big congrats! Nicolas
Patience is the ONLY way to get a PAM203.
But to be honest, I didn't think anymore were being produced. Still awaiting to know what number it has! Imagine...150/150!!!
Forgive my ignorance....
First off, great watch, congrats! Secondly, can you explain how that center portion of the dial with the arrow functions? (Probably a silly question, I know, but I am looking at it and not sure how it is set, what part of the Polaris rotate for timing, et...
Easy
You use the upper crown, and the disc at the center will rotate till you're arrived at the good hour for the alarm... Best. Nicolas
