Whaouh! Incredible...
.... catch and gorgeus pics, congratulations!
If I understand, it means that the famous few first "pink' dials in the '68 Polaris re-edition, are closer from the reality that a few wanted to imagine?
What I'd like to know and understand, is the way these vintage dials could turn to pink. Which colour was the original indexes colour?
Incredible catch, NOS Polaris E859 dial
Hi everybody JLC fans, incredible but true, I found a stunning NOS Polaris Dial (the inner alarm dial too). It was in a box inside a drawer for about 40 years. It is probably apt for a "Calypso version" too, Index are almost orange (since it was in a box ...
What a great find, Marco! :)
Huge congrats! It looks absolutely stunning! Give her a good life! Best Blomman
As I wrote you, Marco, that is not only an incredible catch, it is also very interesting.
I indeed saw a very few number of these " non matching Polaris ". Maybe 3. It is interesting because we had a great and captivating debate about the non matching dials when the first Tribute To Polaris 68 came into the market. Here; the TPP 68, to be more...
It's true, very close but not identical
Ciao Nicholas, Thank you for your compliments, I've appreciated a lot You're right the the color of the index of this dial is very close the color of theTribute to Polaris 68, but with some obvious difference: - porosity of the tritium index is unmistakab...
Indeed, Marco, Luminova is always smoother than Tritium
And will look less " grained " than Tritium. On the TPP, though, you will wee that it is not too smooth: A bit surprising, isn't it? Agreed on all points, my friend. Nicolas...
Here's the only other one I saw in person

Also located in Italy?
Damn, if yes, I definitely have to spend more time, there! Superb example, too. Best, Nicolas
So, we have to arrange a GTG!
Hope we'll be able to do it, one day... Best, Lucky Guys. Nicolas.
Anither Italian Calypso-like dial
And here is mine, also Calypso-like dial (the minute rail interrups at the date window. In fact this came from Germany a few years ago, and the original owner said that has just been totally refurbished at high-cost in JLC Germany. I know that the luminou...
Another very nice non matching dial.
Less orange, but not less appealing! Here's mine, non Calypso dial, turning to dark yellow: Best, Nicolas...
the sexy appeal of the orange flash!...
I love the "orange" indexes, now give it a matching nice leather strap, like the one Nico posted with his caramel leather Nato and you'll have a stunning combo! I don't know if the grail exists but to me this is close to it! Congrats! Matt
very interesting posts...
... although i am not familiar with this model, judging from the quality of these dials' pics, it looks very close to original, having said that, the dial must be extremely well made if they are not. thanks for sharing and very nice macro pics. stefan
Congrats...
That's a great catch. It looks awesome. Interesting to learn about these...nice close up pics too. Thanks for sharing them, Goh
