Interesting question.....
But not quite fair.......
You are comparing two modern divers (although classics) with a modern vintage.....
Also the cases are different......
So, as a daily wearer, the Polaris wins as it is the more elegant one and thus more versatile....
(although the strap is not to the quality that it should be... But one can easily fix this with a new one)
So, between the other two, I prefer the FF... although the GO is also quite interesting.....
Cheers
Ps what about Rolex Sub?
Your choice: Blancpain, JLC or GO divers
Just for fun. Regardless of price or collector's value. Which is your choice as a daily wearer? JLC POLARIS 65 LE (clearly the collectible winner, but try to think only in terms of the watch itself...) GO Sport Evo panorama date Blancpain Fifty Fathoms......
Cool UTS
thanks db. I like that brand and have mentioned it here... but at the moment, comparing three others...
Of the Three
I generally go for the Teutonic functionality of German designs. But among the great Swiss names, JLC has always appealled to me. Among the three you display, and right now in terms of building on what I already have, I would go for the Polaris. I think a...
As a daily wearer, the GO Sport Evo
The GO has good proportions, and is comfortable on a strap or bracelet. The Blancpain would be the second choice. While a big watch, I think it wears well for its size and it's finishing is a step above the others. The JLC is my least favorite. Although a...
Easy...
Every day I watch my Polaris -65. the heavier Polaris -65 and Polaris -68, I love them more and more. So Polaris would be my #1. I do not have the GO but without hesitation that would be #2. I have the Fifty Fathoms both in steel and in RG. I like these w...
Very intereststing points, Kari
Thank you, I hadn't given the over-harvesting idea any thought, but I have to agree, despite myself liking the FF a lot.
Polaris...
Size (as Kari pointed out), classic looks, date, alarm, not so in your face as a dive watch...all you need for a daily wearer.
I am glad to read your post
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, Kari. I, too, have been thinking about adding a FF, so I was really interested in what you had to say. Utlimately, I have to try one on for more than a passing moment and see how it feels. Although I am wearing my Pola '6...
Well, it will be difficult to add something interesting to what has already been said.
Even if, like Kari, I don't like to see so many ( colorful ) variations of a same watch ( the FF, of course ), I would be less severe than him on the Blancpain. On the normal, SS black dial version, the FF is a nice watch, big, but not that uncomfortable ...
Of the watches pictured, there's one clear winner IMO...
...and that's the Polaris. I love the Blancpain and GO, but the Polaris hits my sweet spot -- vintage style remade for today's world. Cheers, Daos

Thanks to all
I have to agree with the majority on this one. Maybe it isn't a fair comparison as Pink Panther suggested... but aside from the much-more-collectible status of the '65, I think of these watches as in the same class... generally. I prefer the Polaris for i...
I missed this post earlier
Funny, I have been thinking about the BP FF, as well, also as a daily wear watch. I gather you selected the Pola, which I think was a good choice. It works well as a daily piece. Congratulations, again on your choice. I have been thinking about both the A...
