And funnier after reading Filip's comment! You made the right decision, my friend. Best, Nicolas

CEO=Chief Entertainment Officer! Enjoy every minute of PAM right now! I have a tougher decision to make on choosing the right strap than approving the 2011 fiscal budget...!! I need to hire professional consultant urgently to help me decide on this matter...

... the new 40mm 7057 though. Sure the 'dial' is a bit larger, but it covers some of the hand setting wheel/bridge as well as the unique central mainspring barrel. And that power reserve doesn't work for me - they should have just left it at the back. The...  

'La Tradition', the yellow gold is more correct. You have great taste. Geo

"You have great taste." Thanks Geo, I take that as a great complement coming from you. Your watch collection, not only of your 'signature' Cartier watches, but many others, as well as your contribution to my "Furniture Post" mark you as a man of great tas...

Well done.

this is THE Breguet in my eyes, but to buy one would mean selling the Freak which is not an option, ever. best Graham

Thanks Graham, the Freak is a brilliant watch too. We can't (and probably shouldn't) own all the brilliant watches in the world. And because of that we hone what, to us, are the critical factors in a timepiece. This is an intensely personal process and de... 

HAGWE all, respo...  

I'm happy to see it on your wrist... And hope it will stay here. Best, my friend. Nicolas

You have a PM. Best, respo

You know the TRUE value of this watch, it is much more than money. I'm happy to know that she stays in the family. Best, Respo. Nicolas

with that strap ... you're also afraid to show it fully ? ... HAGWE Filip

Filip, you set the bar astronomically high with your photos this week, so the Pola is just a little afraid to come out fully. Best, respo

Are you waiting for the chauffeur to bring the car around for you? LOL! I never tire of the Polaris! HAGWE my friend! Daos

I realise you will cover all this in your review, but can you remind me of the size? 42mm, 44mm?? Andrew

. . . it's a big 'un, alright . . .

From buttocks to pectorals to noses and everything in-between. All you need is a wrist implant and you'll be fine. It's a bit of a sacrifice for the Montblanc, but I'll be interested to read your review to see if you think it would be worth it! A

... but a watch in a league of it's own ... Have a great weekend Bill ! Filip

Hi Filip This old girl was easy to fall for you need only ask nico... A+ HAGWE Bill

You're the man Nic! Mech.

This strap reinforces the natural look of this Vintage Polaris, indeed. It looks almost Military! Best, my friend. Nicolas

vintage leather for a vintage Polaris. best Graham

That strap fits he Polaris so well. GEO

I just love this watch. I don't know what else to say. It's perfect. I am in a dive watch mood today (everyday). Cheers, Daos

the watches you show us all seem to stand out more in Black and White. no wonder you dont do colour very often. lovely watch as well BTW. best Graham

i think, Davo, that your watches suit black very well. it would be no good having a B&W pic of some of the multicoloured watches. best Graham

Yes, I am! HAGWE, my friend. Nicolas

I'm still trying to resist, but how long??? Congrats! Best, Nicolas

will be seeing him in London next month, wish no more dangerous watch hunting would be occurred before that... by the way, look forward to meeting you soon too. stefan

not to succomb to the Speedie Temptation, but to meet you, of course! Although...It may be also worth for the temptation. Best, Nicolas

A Speedy is a watch which fits every collection ! Congrats Filip PS. Tell us more about it !

yes, indeed, i am getting to love it more and more. although this watch is almost 40 years old, it is still running very strong and accurate, amazing indeed! i have opened the caseback, the movement still shows very shinny. cal.861 is printed on the edge ... 

Congratulations Stefan. I look forward to more details on the Omega Forum. A

haha... i am now really a "Professional" actually your response stimulates me a question in mind - i find some Speedies with "Professional" on dial but some are not. do you know what is the difference between them? i guess the watch with "Professional" pr... 

i look forward to seeing it in 4 weeks time. with regard to your question on 'professional' or not it is a bit complicated. the Moonwatch which is handwind has professional on the dial from 1963/64 so very early speedmasters dont have it, but any more mod...

... interesting dial ... . hagwe filip

I like it! Two great watches in one picture! HAGWE! Daos

ok so this is my first post here

I think you might love a Speedy too .... Filip (the one from the LLD-club)

a speedy pro would make a perfect sports chrono for you. not too big, not too small, long history etc etc etc. need i say more. you could also go for the reduced auto model at 38mm. not a moonwatch, but a speedy nonetheless. best Graham

...but I feel I'm more a Seamaster type of girl! Never say never though! Cheers, Daos

sorry...  

As I can see, you belong to the " Speedie Gang "... Welcome here! Best, Nicolas

Nice picture of your Speedy! I look forward to reading more from you! Cheers, Daos

Still loving the JLC Polaris. Time to go out on the town Jaeger Le-Coultre Polaris Boutique Edition...  

That is one of the things I love about this watch. It is perfect for a night out on the town. Enjoy! respo

You can easily dress it up or down and if you start changing straps I am sure it will dress sideways too. LOL HAGWE Bill

Impressive how it work with a Suit! Have fun, my friend. Nicolas

The Polaris remains a star out on the town. I have still not tried to change the straps with the four we bought together at ABP. I am sure that will give it a new look again. HAGWE Bill

I'm sure you will have a lot of fun with these very nice straps, while, depending on your mood, you will dress it up or down. Can't wait to see your pics! Best, Nicolas

... identity ... Very, very classy indeed .... . F

James Bond. On the other side of the watch is the transmitter and champagne storage so I had to keep them secret. HAGWE Bill

...with all these extra's it's probably a boutique edition ..

Mamma miaaaaa!...  

... really need to take a look at this one in the flesh ... The case looks like it's been photoshopped, but my guess is that it hasn't been ... Is that yours Mo ? Filip

he he .....but if I-ll get one I will come over and show you.....in the flesh it is something I tell you...Mo

... the Montblanc event in London ... how could i have forgotten ? Always welcome if you visit Belgium offcourse. Filip

I love the patina of the tritum pearls on your dial! Superb. Best, Nicolas

Nicolas has the Speedmaster temptation and i have the memovox temptation. i'd like a 64, but the sound of the newer ones is much nicer. i'm after the school bell sound. great pic as well BTW best Graham

Graham, Yes, this memovox is well shaped and easy to carry. Good luck to hunt nice memovoxs ..s CHEERS! I wonder why JLC still have still of this T dial. All the best Bernard
