Hi, Lance. Welcome here, first. Do you have pictures? I would be very interested to see it. [nt]

During our last get together, we had the opportunity to gather some vintage Jaeger Lecoultre legends. And some of us even added some in their collections. Legends, rare birds, sea snake, it is hard to find the right word to describe what we saw. I will sl...

Part 2: Futurematic.

Its twin sister...

This is an absolutely great Futurematic, love this dial !.. Best & Congrats for the happy owner, whom I recently met.. :)) [nt]

I agree. An appealing version. [nt]

Feel compelled to add mine

Happy to see yours here, JML. Thank you for that. [nt]

A stunning dial! Yummy... [nt]

Yes, and it is in a very nice house. [nt]

Fun and cool watch

In wonderful condition. Superb Porthole, my friend. [nt]

Au Revoir Paris

Wow! Great shot. Your collection is just sublime. [nt]

Thanks Nicolas [nt]

My Futurematic E 501.

These Futurematics are divine and witnesses of a sunken time.. Love them ! :))

You can be proud of it, my friend. Having a Port Hole is not a common thing. [nt]

Lovely watch! [nt]

Thanks for looking, Dave. Enjoy. [nt]

One of the finest Futurematic Port hole E 502 I've ever seen.

Wow, that's a very very nice thread! Thanks Nicolas!!

I would be very happy to see you joining us with such an icon.

A cousin of the Futurematic, the Powermatic Jumbo.

Part 3: Jaeger Lecoultre Polaris.

Guilty as charged......

Magnificent. Here is another one, JLC Polaris 1965.

What about a Lecoultre Polaris 1965, now?

Polaris 1968. Lecoultre version.

Superb(s)

You just have to hunt one, to get the double pair... Wow. [nt]

it won't be this year.....

You never know. If you fall on a very nice one... [nt]

that sort of thing can happen

Let's fate doing its work, then. ;) [nt]

One of your big skills, my friend.. Bending the fate a bit.. ;)) [nt]

Who said " Nothing is impossible "? I would just add: " It is a matter of time ".

:-) [nt]

Did you set the date manually or something going wrong? [nt]

It is the time when the date starts changing. [nt]

Polaris II, Ref E 870, Grey.

And Polaris II Blue:

Still looking for the Polaris II Red...

Part 4: Deep Sea Alarm, Lecoultre and Jaeger Lecoultre.

I am really drawn to this grey bezel.

Not bad, indeed. Thanks, X Type. [nt]

After Blomman's, mines...

After the Deep Sea Alarm, a Deep Sea.

Part 5: Jaeger Lecoultre Military WWW.

My WWW.

While we are at it, a quick shot of my Mark 11.

This one is a killer [nt]

Yes, amagnetic and chronometer. It has all to please you. [nt]

You are really Vlad:-) [nt]

Now I admire this one more [nt]

Aaah, you see? It is a wonderful watch with a lot of character, despite its modest size ( 35, 2 mm ). [nt]

RAF vs RAAF

Not many differences. The main one is the different plexy: Chimney for the RAAF. Domed for the RAF. [nt]

Should I get both of them? No. I think I'm too greedy:-) [nt]

Maybe not, but a pair of WWW / Mark 11 would be a better solution. [nt]

Thanks for the input:-) [nt]

Here is a picture of both, side by side...

Thanks for the picture

So, now you have three targets: SHOM, Mark 11 and WWW. ;) [nt]

Let me think first

Among these three, the answer is easy: Mark 11, all the way. [nt]

Okay my friend thanks for the input [nt]

Can you imagine the superb trio a Mark 11 will make with your 2 Geophysics? [nt]

it will be a trio of doom;-) [nt]

One military, two civilians... It cannot be better than that, and the Geophysic movement is a descendant of the Mark 11 one! [nt]

with Radioactive as a bonus:-) [nt]

That goes without saying. ;) [nt]

What a combo! That www is great! [nt]

Its movement, too, since the Cal 479 was made only for that watch.

Gorgeous my friend [nt]

One of the not well known detail of the WWW. [nt]

Yes, these Militaries are really quite attractive.. Next to the WWW, also the Mark VII, & of course the Mark-11 are great pieces. :))

Very interesting WWW with its promethium dial. The Mark VII Weems is not bad, either. You just need a JLC Mark 11! ;) [nt]

Yep, the JLC Mark-11 - that's still a target !.. Patience & luck needed !.. ;)) [nt]
