Polaris Grey II: The third and the last step...
Jul 28, 2012,14:50 PM
After having found the right hands, I had to hunt the good alarm disc, to make it all correct...
It is now done, with the " Memovox GT " shaped as an arrow, which replaces the alarm triangle.
A detail which totally, deeply, radically changes the look of the watch.
Note that the alarm disc is not the same on the Lecoultre or Jaeger-Lecoultre Polaris II, as you can see here:
Another difference which appears on this side by side photo, the bezel...
On the Blue Lecoultre the minute indexes stop at 15, while they are continuous on the Grey Jaeger-Lecoultre Polaris II.
Now, one more, one last Polaris II, the red one, and I will officially declare the Vintage JLC Diving Theme closed!
Best,
Nicolas

Thank you, my friend.

You raised an important point: At the end of the " collecting road " what will I feel? Joy or sadness? I will put a coin on... Satisfaction. ;) Man, I've been running after these pieces for such a long time that I will feel some delivrance. :) And I have ...
