No, that JLC is gorgeous. Movement is lovely too.

I like the JLC better than the Polar. It's a much more interesting watch imo

Love the Polar, but my vote would be for the JLC. It’s stunning.

I'd keep it and the vintage polar, if it were my collection. I prefer the older polar and you've already got 2 of the larger, more recent Rolex GMTs.

As an owner of a RG MCMP … I’d vote JLC.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and help. Ultimately I decided to trade my Explorer 2 Polar 226570 for the below JLC Reverso. I added $1K to the deal, but feel this was a very fair deal. Also, most importantly, I think I got a beautiful watch.

Whoa. Your original proposed trade was kind of meh in my opinion. I’m a big JLC fan, but I already have a Reverso Duo. So personally, I would rather have the Polar over the Master Control Moonphase.

But that 18k triple date Reverso could launch a dozen ships. I vote you made one heck of a trade.

Looks like the JLC is gone. JLC is a level up so I will definitely consider.

Update to my Update... The deal for the above JLC fell through so I made a trade for a Mint 2016 Rose Gold JLC Reverso 976 and $2500 usd cash my way and sending away my Exp. II Polar. Very hard decision, but just felt it was too good of a deal to pass up.
