Tribute to Polaris “Error dial” (full lume). Bit less expensive than the original, but way less stressful to wear as well



Geophysic 1958



And my first JLC, which was among the watches that were stolen last year. I really miss this guy



So, if you should come across a Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Chronograph Vintage with serial # 2823125 please contact me!!!

I have tried and reviewed few rare high-end JLCs.
Here are some photos:

In-person job interview with my 1937 J(lc) ‘brancard’ with sector dial, french market (fab suisse)

 

Used to have quite a large collection of these 1940/50's alarms and weather stations in various shapes and colours. Quite an ingenious multi-shape design. Only have these in black left. I find them fun and pleasing on the eye.

 

This is my WRUW today ... it's a nice picture of the watch just back from service so I wanted to put it here for reference to the Reference, umm, I mean the original reference watch, of the Tribute ... you know what I mean, right?

Polaris ref. E859 from 1968 (the original one) calibre K825
About 1150 of these made, only in 1968.

 

13 days wirh it and I love it. My JLC Polaris

 

Here is my JLC, 18ct yellow gold, ref. 2953 from 1947. Unfortunatelly, I don't have the golden buckle. I would like to find one which fits the watch - preferably JLC 18ct yellow gold pin buckle from the same era. But to be honest, I am not expert and I am very much affraid of ebay buckles. Any help where to look for will be appreciated Thank you...

I understand the rules here. I did not mean my post as WTB, but more like “where to find” I am sorry if I was misunderstood...

 

What does a JLC buckle from 1947 look like? Weren't they just a plain buckle?

 

Honestly, I have no idea. I have seen many “vintage” called buckles with JLC logo on it, but I am not sure about originality and timing. The best way would be to find somebody here, who has similary old watch and is super sure that has the original buckle.

 

I am sorry to hear that. Such a cool watch.

 

Thanks. Yeah, it was a really awesome watch. Perfect proportions. I miss it.
