Question about the polaris tribute 68

 
 By: Alfisti : January 19th, 2012-07:04
Hello. I am a few years late. Has been admiring the tribute to Polaris 68 for a white and finally acquired one couple of days ago. Shall post some photos later when I have the chance. Looking at you guys' beautiful shots I discover something weird. The di... 

Normal. Do a search here, on the JLC Forum...

 
 By: amanico : January 19th, 2012-07:07
Use the Key Word " Polaris " in our search engine, and you will have a lot of posts. The TTP came with 2 dials, one, quite rare, with orange indexes, which is luminous, and the other, yours, with beige indexes, non luminous. Nice watch, anyway! Best, Nico... 

Thanks nicolas ...

 
 By: Alfisti : January 19th, 2012-07:14
... For the quick answer! Much appreciated. Yes thre best watch I have ever owned indeed. Just wired the markings are not luminous. Well as long as this is normal. I'm not complaining.

Did the search

 
 By: Alfisti : January 19th, 2012-07:42
Browsed through the search, the first 190 TTP are having the full lume orange index dial. Mine is a 2 digits number, so I assume it's within the first batch? Or are the numbers random?

Random numbers.
