Anyone have the green JLC Polaris?

I saw it in a boutique today. I am not normally a green face fan, but I thought this was attractive. Anyone have one? Thoughts?

I debated between Green and Blue versions about a year ago and went with blue. Tough decision, but blue won me over. Both are mesmerizing, especially in sunlight. The green was just a bit too olive and dark for me.

I initially was leaning blue. I like that the green is darker and olive-y, as opposed to Kelly green. The AD had ne stand the door. The lume differs in the outer ring than the inner ring. Liking the green, May swoop in soon.

Regardless which color you choose, I highly recommend you consider ordering the steel bracelet as well. They are pricey, and you’ll probably wait a few months for it. But it totally changes the personality of the watch. And the quick-change levers make it a tool-less 2 minute task.

Every time you wear it, you’ll catch people giving it a hard look with a “Whoa!, what is that?” look on their face.

I’ve got both the blue and the green. Both nice but green is more special and the coloring of the dial you can look at for ages the way it’s graduated

Had the chance to have both for a short time.
Pictures don't do them justice for how they look irl.

I tried on the green and thought it to be very nice with the deep to lighter hues of green.

The green is beautiful…I went with blue as it is my favorite color and I have a lot more that matches with it. Both are stunning!
