So spotless...
Nicolas, congratulations on the matched pair and having the tribute back in your collection. Your pictures took me back to when I first acquired my own, inspired by both your and the forum's enthusiasm for it. It was perfect and pristine and once on a Nato strap, very difficult to get off the wrist. It has been my constant summer companion since and looks proudly scratched up and abused now but still reliably performing!
Here are a few shots from these last lazy days of summer with Ol' Reliable:
...and back in its early pre-scratched plexi days; you can always tell a fresh Polaris if that original strap has not melted away!
All the best.
The Tribute to Polaris is back in the collection.
It seems that there is a strong link between the Polaris and me. You certainly know that that some friends replaced the disappeared Tribute to Polaris 65, and found the Vintage Polaris 65. The Tribute to Polaris 68 was still missing in my collection, whic...
Congratulations Nicolas. TTP back to where it belongs...
Enjoying every second of it as well on the beaches of Marbella...The loop is closed for you! Take care.
So, first thoughts? Size, volumes? Presence on the wrist?
You are used to bigger watches, so what are your feelings with this one? Best, Manu and thanks for your kind words. Nicolas
Funny....6 months ago I would have thought never under 45 mm....
But tu be honest, it hasn't bothered me one bit since I have had it. It is extremely comfortable. I love the tribute to the deep sea EU but not sure that one wouldn't be too small maybe I should try...the dial more than anything fascinates me...the strap ...
If your wife says so! :) Absolutely agree on the strap.
But this detail won't bother you too much, as you may be used to play with straps! Best, Nicolas
Huge congrats my friend...
The love can start again :) This was the piece I first came to Paris to see...but fell for a 292 instead..!! Enjoy this new beauty, Andy.
So happy for you !
Let me tell you, Nico, it's only justice :-) As usual, perfect pictures. One day, you should teach me how to make such shots. Enjoy you TTP as much as you can , my friend ! Best Didier.
I'm sure you are happy..
to welcome back an old friend. Now you have the correct dial as well (but not as rare). :) It must be nice to have the whole family together again. Great pics! Best fernando
Which is good is to get the feelings on this watch, once again.
And an immense satisfaction to get them all. Thank you, my friend. Best, Nicolas
You put a smile on my face!
Hi Nicolas, What great news. Congratulations! It is great to follow the 'rebirth' of your Polaris collection. I am so happy for you. ....and your pictures are great as always. Best, Claus
You know how much this one is important for me. Thank you, my friend.
Will try to post a new topic about the whole family of Polaris, I mean the One, and the II. ;) Best, Nicolas
Congratulations, Nicolas
I am delighted to see this one back in your collection, where it belongs. You are right of course. Both the '65 and '68 are equally but differently desirable. I chose the '65, but I still think of hunting the '68. You chose both, and that is no doubt the ...
Thanks, Respo. You will have to stand my summer shots of this watch! :)
Good hunt on the TT P 68. This is the way to go, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Congrats on the Tribute to Polaris
And great to hear that you have one back in the collection. Congrats, I'm very happy for you. Regards, ED-209
Congrats Nicolas
You, of all people, should always had one of these in your collection.
Now, I have the 2 Tributes, and the 2 originals. Will celebrate that with a post to come
Thanks for the very kind words, Mark! Best, Nicolas.
Well done...
I am happy that you are finally reunited!!! Talking about changes on the dial....stay tuned! Mo
Congratz Nicolas.
I see that last months have been "busy" for you and you hunt. Your TTP looks so smooth and pure on these pictures. I'm glad to see you add a watch that will already be taking a nice place in your collector's life! I wish you all the best Nicolas ;) Cheers...
Well, there was a lot of delay in posting my last conquests...
The TTP 65 and the boriginal Polaris 65, I got both of them last year, 15 months ago... This is not the case of this TT P 68, which came one month before my summer holidays. Just in time for some fun! Thanks for the kind words, my friend. Best, Nicolas.
So what's left to say - other than ..
.. my full and sincere congratulations, and that I'm truly happy for you, mon ami ! Also as ! / we happen to know, what special spot in your heart the Polaris has.. Now the quartet is complete again - - may there be further joyful times with them all ! As...
Good to read you, my friend.
Hope to see you soon? ;) Best, and thanks for your kind words! I am still on the hunt for my 7th olaris, but this is another story... Nicolas
So happy to see them here together
and hearty felicitations again, my friend. They belong together with you and the pics are almost in a state of repose. Great pics too BTW. best, damien
Back home where it belongs!
I am so very happy for you, my friend! :) It's an impressive set of watches - and I know your dedication and love for them! So very happy! Lookoing forward to see a complete set of 7 Polaris (soon?)! ;) Best Blomman
6 out of 7 is not a bad score, indeed. The Red will complete the set asap...
A matter of time... ;) Best, my friend. Nicolas
Not bad at all! :)
Better that most I would say! :) But come to think of it - is there "only" 7 versions of the Polaris...? Or is it infact 11 versions?! JLC Polaris 65 LC Polaris 65 JLC Polaris 68 LC Polaris 68 Polaris II Grey Polaris II Blue Polaris II Red TT Polaris 65 P...
Interesting question on the Polaris II...
I never saw a Jeager Lecoultre Polaris II Blue, nor a Lecoultre Polaris II grey or Red... I wonderi f they exist... I was thinking about the JLC Polaris 65 and 68, but wording apart, they are too close from their american sisters... Hence the omission. An...

Wait a pair of years, and mine will get its first scars of honor. ;)
These watches are made to be used and loved. Yes, I remember your pics, my friend. Thanks for your very kind words! Nicolas
happy with you to see this one back...
... this one has very strong character which is equally nice as another Polaris. in any case, happy with you! stefan
Tribute is back in the collection
Hi Nicolas, i am very pleased that your collection is now complete. Now that JLC seemed to have resolved the lume issue with the Deep Sea Tribute do you think we as a group could convince JLC to reissue corrected dial and hands for the polaris Regards Mar...
Corrected hands on the TTP 68? But they correct, already.
As for the dial, I fear bthey won't move. They should have done it, but they won't. It is 3 years, now, that the first TTP landed, and they are all sold out. Best, and thanks for your kind words, Mark. Nicolas
