I know I missed the last one so I thought the 09/09/09 business was a good excuse. I am pretty sure we can hit at least 15. If you don't have a picture handy check in anyway. Bill...  

Finaly, we see it on your wrist! You're right, I made a quick count and we're 15, and today we'll be 16. With Mostel, maybe we'll be 17! If we add those who own the Tribute To Polaris in platinum, we are over 20. Here's my contribution, on a Leather Nato:...  

I have to say I am in love with the '65 Polaris re-issue, undoubtably one of my favourite watches. Congratulations gents and thanks for the pictures. David

ah, that's a great news, welcome and congratulations about your choice, '65 version is realy smart. try to send you more and new pixs from the lake of annecy on sunday evening. best. olivier

Hi, Here's my baby! Cheers Dje...  

Hi Fellows, I am happy to report that my Pt 1965 Polaris waits me at home while I am diving in the Far East. I have also secured the Paris Boutique Edition as well as the 1968 Edition. Those I will pick up immy when I'll get the time. So sometimes in the ... 

You're the only one I know to own the 3 versions of the Tribute To Polaris... If this is not LOVE, I don't know what is Love!!! Congrats, and please, YES, do share with us this fabulous trio! Best, Nicolas

You are the first one saying it's "Love". Most of my friends have just recommended a long meeting with a Schrink! Sure, I will send pictures in due time. Regards,

in our Polaris world, there's no border between edition, or metal. so, DrKol, same as you, there's something special with the contact with the platinum. it's not only the weight, or special reflects on the precious metal. no. just a sensation of the densi... 

Dear Nicolas and everybody, A lot has been discussed about the charm and originality of Polaris. But in case I am considering the watch only as a diving tool from the perspective of a diving professional, there is no doubt that the alarm is the single mos... 

Coming from a Master Diver ( bif I'm not wrong, you are, aren't you? ), these words sound like the best compliment ever made on this watch. And something I totally share with you. To be clear, I don't dive, except in my bathroom, BUT I do live with my wat... 

Kari, Please let me react to your " I am considering the watch only as a diving tool from the perspective of a diving professional" To start with, I love (and own) both the Polaris and its predecessor the DSA, and I feel glad that you do the same with you... 

I agree when you say that the Vulcain is the first Super Compressor housing an alarm, but this is not the first alarm diving watch, I think. The Deep Sea Alarm, released in 1959 seems to be the first, while the Vulcain made in 1961 ( once again, if I'm no... 

Indeed, the 857 probably predates the Vulcain, and is likely the first waterproof alarm. However, I think you will reckon that, even more so than the 859, the 857 is pretty pointless for serious diving (I think it was even called 'skin diver' at that time... 

The modern dive computers are so reliable and so sophisticated that those can not be replaced by ANY kind of mechanical watch. Period. A technical diver who is not using the most sophisticated modern systems for his diving is soon a dead diver. Nicholas s...

Congrats, Bill. I really do wonder how many of the 65 Boutiques we have represented on this Forum. Well, any excuse to speak of and photograph this beauty. respo...

It would take a lot to pull me from one JLC (pseudo) to another JLC (classic). I made a decision that some may not agree, giving up my pam 190 (pseudo JLC) for a real limited JLC (Polaris tribute 68). Like my 190, it still gives me a big grin everytime I ...  

That must have been pretty tough making the change and letting the 190 go. But look like you found love once again. Sweet Bill

Thanks Nic. I have asked my AD to alert me on a Polaris for months to no avail. But, I could not get my mind off the polaris (esp the 68) since I saw your review and pics. So, fast forward to 2 days ago when I spotted a nice used piece while visiting a de... 

And I'm very happy to see you enter this Club, too. Mr Lambert is a man who has a word, and he said it several times, the Polaris is indeed a " one shot " re edition. So, you own a piece which has an History, and a nice Story. Wear it with Pride! Best, Ni... 

I have been hearing about the polaris story. Let me search around to know more about the story. It will definitely take up quite a lot of wrist time.
