    Incredible watch, sir. I've been an avid fan of JLC since I began collecting, and include 2 Master Compressors in my collection. And a few vintage Memovox.

    A vintage Polaris is a grail of mine, absolutely. I am envious. :)

    Thanks @yvrclimber, this is a very faithful JLC re-issue from about a decade ago, not the original from the 60s. I do like that the Polaris is a watch that only WIS recognize. Hunted for one for many years before I found this in Tokyo a few years ago.

    Ha, still a great watch. I thought with the cross-hatched crowns... tricked me!

    I'm unlikely to pool the funds to get a 1968 at this point unless I sell much of my collection. But I have been tempted.

    I bet I'd be happy with a re-issue like yours... worth considering.

    So you have it back on loan? Either way it is a nice looker.
