I will get in a less than a month my Polaris from the Service Center... 5 long months!
So I had a dinner yesterday with some friends, and amongst them, guess what they were wearing???
A Polaris!
I have to say...2 Polaris.
One I never saw in the flesh before, with metal indexes, and the other is the European version.
WOW, this vintage is a pure beauty.
Sorry for the loosy pics, but the emotion was here, but wanted to share it with you.

... that you own a polaris yourself, you also got friends who own some! Must have been a delightful dinner! Every time I see a Polaris I am amazed how close JLC came with the AMVOX1 regarding the case and crystal design. Change the dial, the hands and the...

Congrats, a very neat piece indeed. Of course waiting is so very difficult. When I keep time with such beautiful apparatus, it would be an eternity to be apart!!!
