Jaeger Lecoultre Tribute To Polaris 1968 non matching dial.
As most of you certainly know, the Tribute to Polaris 1969 came with two dials: One " normal, " yellow-brownish, and another one, called " wrong " dial, more orange.
Here is the normal, like in my prototype:
And here, the " wrong ":
The other difference between these two dials: The normal doesn't have glowing indices, while the wrong did have them.
Which one do you prefer?
Best,
Nicolas

I see nothing wrong with the « wrong » one Nico 😉...
😂🤣 ...as a joke but actually I would go for the "normal" one if one to choose
I suspect that the “wrong dial” is better
Two pics isn’t enough for me to decide. But I think the “wrong dial” has a bit more character. The fact that it wasn’t trying to be “non-matching” but ended up as such, makes it unique.
So, what do you mean by accident?
Did JLC mistakenly or intentionally switch the colors?
I have the wrong and had no idea when I bought it.
I love both but would choose the wrong, hands down. It has more character, a bit more funky maybe. Funny to have become a sub reference by accident. I really like luminous numbers. Does anyone have a lume shot og the model as it was designed? ...
No. Why manufacture something that is supposed to look like patinated tritium but doesn’t light up?
How was the original in terms of tritium application?The more I think about it the more the “wrong“ is the right one ☝️ would be nice to hear what really happened at the manufacture in 2008. A drama between the manufacturing guys and the design studio(?) ...
I usually like to support the underdog !
But in this case I really like the "wrong" so it has my vote without hesitation
