·That is a lovely watch 👍 simple and elegant. Few years ago i almost pulled a trigger on the same model, it was a very good deal, but i had another watch i was hunting for, so decided to pass. Is it the 36mm version?
Do you mind showing the back side?
sure please enjoy the beauty, this watch case a 38mm diameter case
the movement 849 is one of the best movement from JLC imho. Until now the value is still affordable. This watch is so underated

·So nice!
I have a simmilar pair, but slightly less complex 😀
Dont miss the GMT function, but wouldnt mind having the alarm on my Polaris. 😗
You are so fortunate , I will not rest until I own that Omega. That Ω is the Omega to have, that’s the classic, even more than the Bond Seamaster. That one is the real deal, all day.

·1950s LeCoultre Calender Disc. These have an elegant and pretty unique system to quickset the calendar - there is a button located in the center of the crown (so you don't depress the entire crown like some later quicksets).
In case anyone wants to see some pictures of the crown:

·Finally I too pulled the trigger for JLC, even though I have been a devoted OMEGA fan for years. Mid-life crisis made me chose something higher level and since I've travelled the world all my life I chose the newest Geographic iteration of Master Control family. Hope it will stay with me all the way to the end 😉

·How do you compare this watch to Omega Worldtimer?
Completely different watches, not really easy to compare. Omega has more sporty vibe and is much bigger. It has some advantages and disadvantages in terms of use:
- worse legibility of World time (world time disc compared to JLC's second time subdial)
- possibility to change main hour hand without stopping the watch while changing timez zones (at JLC you can change 2nd time zone only without stopping the seconds hand)
- better legibility of the main hands on Omega (silver hands on blue background)
- better wearability of JLC (40mm with 11mm thickness vs 43mm with 15mm thickness)
In terms of aesthetics & purpose - completely different watches, not something you can compare like apples to apples.
Well done, that is one great looking piece 👍
Thank you, it's a beautiful and well done piece indeed.

·For a few months i was trying to source a spare used JLC bracelet for my Polaris, but unfortunatelly there are no spare parts circulating around and the sellers of Polaris are not willing to cell the bracelwt separately.
So whilie i was looking, i realised that JLC has increased the price on the new bracelet by 250,-€ which was not cheap in the first place, but i really wanted one. So after long disscusions i managed to pick new one up at the old price. I am really happy with the result 👍
