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, which is not the case anymore, due to other friends.

So, now, the Polaris Family is complete!

Compared to my previous TT P 68, the dial is not the same.

On my former " 68 " the indexes wwere orange and luminous, while on this one, they are more cream, and not glowing.

Does it really matter? I don't think so.

What does matter is to see it back, as it was a watch I really loved a lot.

For its charm, its presence, its character.

Here are a few pictures to celebrate the return of the beloved daughteR.





Here on my favourite background, a sketch of the Polaris by Magali Metrailler, and dedicaced by her:









To know which of the Tribute to Polaris 65 or 68 is the most appealing was often discussed.

It is, of course, a very subjective topic.

Some will prefer the stronger look of the TTP 68, while others will fall for the ore discrete charm of the TTP 65.

The long absence of these 2 provided me the confirmation that I have no preference, here.

Each of them has its own character, plays its own register in a brilliant way.



My 2 former Tribute to Polaris had a great life, and some nice stories.

A story which will have to be re written, but let's say that the first pages of their life is a superb and moving start.

thanks for sharing=D

Enjoying every second of it as well on the beaches of Marbella...The loop is closed for you!
Take care.

You are used to bigger watches, so what are your feelings with this one?

Best, Manu and thanks for your kind words.

Nicolas

But tu be honest, it hasn't bothered me one bit since I have had it.

But this detail won't bother you too much, as you may be used to play with straps!

Best,

Nicolas

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.

Let me tell you, Nico, it's only justice

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!

And an immense satisfaction to get them all.

Thank you, my friend.

Hi Nicolas,

Will try to post a new topic about the whole family of Polaris, I mean the One, and the II.



Best,

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 best decision. ;-) Best, respo

Good hunt on the TT P 68. This is the way to go, my friend.

Best,

Nicolas
