A question for all polaris owners?
Hi all
I recently tried on the memovox polaris re-issue (in stainless steel ltd. edition) and noticed that
it made quite a loud audible 'rattle' whenever i moved my wrist. The AD said this was perfectly
normal and was the sound of the 'gongs' inside the calibre. I'm not sure whether this should be the case
and wondered if anyone who owns the new polaris could shed anymore light on this?
Many thanks
Perfectly normal, and already many times discussed.
Do a search using " Polaris " keyword, and you will have a lot to read about the watch, and the noise.
All is normal, it is due to the ceramic balls bearing used for the rotor, and to the alarm gong.
Best,
Nicolas
Thanks! Excuse my delayed appreciation of the Polaris
I thinks it's a stunning watch, also i understand some have luminous dials and
others don't?
Then I am one…
Of the lucky 90! 
You are an incredible source of information.
Thank you very much!
It’s much appreciated that you share your info with us!
Best, my friend!

do they look different? any comparison pics...?
I've seen some pics where the hour indexes seem more 'pink' and others
more 'brown', or do they both look the same when in light?
Yes they do, and you perfectly got the difference of colors between the 2. [nt]
Lume/no Lume...why was this done?
I have seen the luminous dial referred to as 'the wrong dial' why is that? I prefer the full luminous dial
and see it as a useful feature. Not sure why JLC didn't do them all like that.
It was about a bit less than 200 in my mind...
...with the first dial (and lume).
I'm pretty sure I've read that number few months ago on this forum. I'll search

Actually....
all newer Memovox have this sound...
eg the master compressor memovox....
cheers
The MC Memo is discontinued since 2009, and housed
The Cal 918, which was more " noisy " than the 956.
