Jaeger-LeCoultre

Decision

 

Thank you for your replies...massively appreciated.

Ok...Sapphire cannot be engraved on, good to know, so I'm going to go for a super elaborate engraving on the steel available on th revers side.

I'm really not a fan of the GT, so I'm going to close my eyes & jump. I have a small collection of Japanese comics featuring a warrior who is left as undead due to his sins and his only path to redemption being in aiding people. Overall, a simple premise but the artwork was what took me, huge spreads including intricate flowers and birds, etc.

That is the plan for the JLC, I'll post the final result...

Hate to lose it, but potentially have a Polaris in steel on its way, excited as a child to see if it is delivered with orange or white markers!

Regards,

Young

Polaris is due very soon, I found it via an immense round the way journey of both conversation & "charm".....maybe I keep it, maybe not, depends on the feel, I try not to go on fervour but instinct. I will have the engraving done privately this coming mon...
