Stainless 65 Polaris
Nicolas,
First of all thanks for your advice. I have a slight preference for the 65 Polaris over the 68 Polaris. I recently tried on a platinum 65 Polaris - and didn't want to take it off. 
. Unfortunately, it is too pricey for me. Do you know if they made a stainless version of the 65 Polaris and if so, how many they produced? I would be more than happy with either one though.

232 vs. 305 vs. Polaris
I was able to locate a 232 and a JLC Polaris (re-edition) at a local dealer - both resales. I know these are two totally different watches but wanted to get a sense of you would do in my situation - knowing that most people on this forum are Panerai fans....
Horologically, Historically or Aesthetically?
Let's make it short: If your criteria is Horological, so, go on the Polaris, which is a good alarm watch with an in house movement, for quite the same price than an Eta movement. If it is historical, both are interesting, as both are re editions of Vintag...
My interest is more historical / aesthetic.
My interest would be more historical and aesthetic than horological. I would like to add all of these watches to my collection. I definitely want to add a sub to my collection and I love the 1950 case so the 305 (if it isn't too big) would be my choice fo...
So, if these are your criterias
Without doubt the 232 or the Polaris. The harder to find will be the Polaris as it is 2.5 rarer than a 232, but it is a bit more expensive, too. The 305 doesn't fit the historical criteria as it is a strange mix between the Luminor Vintage ( the Case ), t...

The SS '65 Polaris was a Limited Edition of 65 pieces for the Paris Boutique. They are now all sold out. Best, Nicolas
Challenging question
Of all the choices, I would prefer the Polaris (the '65 re-edition would be my preference, but only slightly over the '68) because I happen to have, what sometimes seems to be, an unnatural love of vintage-inspired dive watches with internal rotating beze...
65 Polaris
Thanks Daos. I'm leaning toward the Polaris. I also have a slight preference for the 65 over the 68 version. I recently located a 65 while on vacation in Paris and tried it on. It's beautiful. Unfortunately for me it was the platinum version, which is a b...
A Vote for the 305
Joshua, nice choice to have! The 232 and Polaris are both nods to the past, and both achieve their purpose. For what it is worth, I owned a 232 briefly and I let it go. (Many, however, find it's 47mm size, gold hands and tobacco dial inspiring.) The Polar...
Thanks Jed
I haven't seen a 305 in person yet. I have had a chance to try on the 312 but not the 305, which is a bit bigger. I love the way it looks in pictures but would need to try it on in person since my wrist isn't too large. This probably won't be my next watc...
i would add a 232
but 305 looks great (i've only seen it in pictures) so it would be my secomd addition as well... Tony
I'd get the PAM305 of those 3
The PAM305 will be released in the retail channels in hopefully another month or 2 if you're waiting to see one in person, u'll be able to very shortly. The PAM232 is an awesome watch but it shouldn't be too difficult to find down the road. There are almo...
