RE: Polaris vs. Amvox

 

Hello Rahul,

 

I agree with both Nilo and Nicolas, as they point out there is some differences on these two even if they look very alike.

 

The most obvious is the plexi vs the crystal, but also the movements on these.

 

The TTP has the quick set date function which I highly appreciate!

If you have an older (pre-TTP) it’s a real hustle to set the date if your memo been off wrist for some time…

 

As Nicolas say; “ you can't go wrong with any of these 2 watches, as they both are excellent choices ”…

 

There is only one small hitch – If you get one, this will only feed your desire to have the other one as well (and their sisters)!

When it comes to collectable – from my point of view they both are.

Because I love them both very much!

For me, collectable=what I love or like very much!

 

My wish list is far too long and budget too tight as it is…

 

Just my 2 cents.

 

 

Best

My 2c, I own an AMVOX1, SS, and I'm very happy with this watch. See my two month report: click here. I consider the AMVOX1 "on pair" with the Polaris (The tribute) with one advantage that is the sapphire crystal, compare with the plastic one from the Pola... 

Don't think "collectible ", Rahul. Think " Pleasure ".

- The Amvox 1 is a reinterpretation of the Polaris, and was a limited production ( 2005 / 2008 ). I can't give you the numbers of Amvox I produced during these 4 years, as I don't have them. - The Tribute To Polaris 68 was released in 2008, in a limited e...

Both are special watches...

but no one can say if either will prove to be collectable in the future. The Pola is a re-edition of a very collectable, iconic watch from teh '60s. But will that make the Tribute to Polaris collectable??? No one knows. I thin it took the original quite s...
