Unsure...
...about JLC and Richemont.
I tend to prefer their 3-handers (The Polaris Mariner Date or Memovox are the ones I'm considering) but I've read posts about misaligned internal bezels.
I've also heard about water resistance issues with the previous generation of Polaris / Polaris Date models and I'm generally unsure about the practicalities of a "Compressor style" case with the main (time-setting) crown being non-screw down and the timing/bezel crown being screw-down (unusable once in the water).
Also unsure about the 4 tiny screws looking like they secure the case back (on a dive watch).
Maybe a moot point if/since we don't use them as primary diving tools anymore but I'm uncertain about the principle behind these design decisions.

Why is this watch not popular? Seems perfect at 42 mm, simpler bicompax dial and *no* date... It even comes with a blue dial... ...
Great watch
I have been contemplating one for a while, at the same price point of a Seadweller JLC offers a far higher grade of finishing and features, fantastic daily watch. My favorite is the simple time only model.

Here you go
I had this one in my collection for a while but it saw very little wrist time. ...
Maybe because it is too large. 42 mm with very thin bezel.
Wears like 43 mm. And yes the movement is too small. I have tried the simple 3 hander at 41 mm, it wears like 42 on my small wrist
Not the best effort from JLC.
Some of the negatives that I see: - too small movement for the case made obvious by the very central positioning of the sub-dials - outdated and very basically finished movement with on top a cheap tungsten rotor : definitely not JLC-like - I was able to ...
