My new Polaris
Hi all
Am new to JLC and that I am very happy with my first JLC.. which is the Polaris.
Just wondering why the later versions of the Tribute to Polaris (mine is 3xx/768) does not seem to have the superluminova on the hour indexes?
It only has it on the numerals (12, 9, 6) and hour/minute hands.
Took some photos with my other watches.. sorry for quality as I don't usually take pics of my watches..
Happy to join the JLC club!

Welcome and Congratulations!
That is a very nice collection you have there. You should take more photos of your watches and post them from now on. We all do it here, but this is a pretty odd group. LOL. Congrats on the Polaris. It is beautiful, no? There has been discussion on this f...
Congratulations on the Polaris .Wear it good health !
Fantastic collection of watches you got also !
Hello, Eyedoc!
Congrats on your latest catch, my friend.... This one, the Pola, is one of my very favourite watches. We already discussed ( and a lot ) about the non glowing indexes, so I will make it short: The first 190 Polarises came with glowing indexes and hands. T...
Maybe I misunderstood...
...the question, but it seems that eyedoc is complaining about the hour indexes without superluminova, in this case I know that JLC sends a letter to the owner to ask him wheter to have the dial replaced or not. Did he recieve the letter with the watch or...
Well,
JLC gave a letter for the 190 Polaris which came with the all luminous dial... No letter for the others. Best, Nicolas
Error in the quote
Hallo Nicholas, I wanted to respond to the message of eyedoc, but quoted yours beacuase of my error. However, I have a question: I know that some Polaris Tribute to '68 came with orange and non-glowing indexes and others came with superluminova indexes. W...
The rarer are
The Polaris which came with the Super Luminova indexes and hours...( 190 dials ) Best, my friend. Nicolas
Fun
This going to be fun because I bought (or at least I think I've bought) n°191/768. Consequently when I open the box on September 15 for my birthday I will able to confirm whether the change of dial occurred after the first 190 watches were made and wether...
Classic eyecatcher for those who are interested in watches!
This - IMO - is your Polaris, eyedoc. Judging from the rest of your collection, you seem to have an eye for nice watches in general as well ! Best regards, anaesdoc
Congrats. I actually like your photographs...
they give excellent persepective on the subtle and not so subtle differences in style, design and size between the various watches in your collection. Welome,
Welcome to the Club. The reason why
the 2nd batch dials have no lume is that JLC found original index color and luminova can't exist together during the process of making Polaris. JLC had give up either full lume or closer color and they chose the color. Jean
