Been thinking about trading my gmt 2 for a JLC Polaris mariner, thoughts?
I already have a sub c as well. Thanks

inadeje · 20 December 2021, 12:53 PM

Not for me. No love for JLC.

ltmgeller · 20 December 2021, 12:56 PM

Thats a personal choice. I'm a Rolex addict, so I alway vote for the Rolex over other brands.

hutch300 · 20 December 2021, 01:02 PM

Not something I'd do - I'd buy if I was you. Should be available at a decent price.

brandrea · 20 December 2021, 01:03 PM

Is it possible to add the JLC?

TomLou · 20 December 2021, 01:06 PM

I would do it
if it was the Jaeger LeCoultre Polaris Chronograph Automatic Blue Dial Q905T480.

roelfaras · 20 December 2021, 01:06 PM

Yes, it is possible. I guess I just want to have different brands in my collection. I have Sub c, Breitling and Panerai.

Malum · 20 December 2021, 01:07 PM

Not a GMT fan and that Mariner blue dial is amazing . Love the size , great movement and not ubiquitous. I would much rather sport the JLC than a GMT ii .

roelfaras · 20 December 2021, 01:20 PM

It’s the 9068180.

franktehtank · 20 December 2021, 01:21 PM

I would personally never do that.

is your gmt the LN, BLRO or BLNR?

roelfaras · 20 December 2021, 01:32 PM

Its the LN.

indianmachine · 20 December 2021, 01:37 PM

I've got the LN and love it, it's the one modern piece I'm never selling. That pop of green for some reason really makes the watch for me. I even prefer it to the BLRO and BLNR, which is odd because I know on paper I shouldn't (maybe that's when you know a watch is really for you??).

I'd try to add the JLC if possible, or if you find the LN redundant to the sub consider parting with the sub (that way you keep a GMT and a diver). You'll always be able to get back a sub if you miss it.

Ultimately though, it's all about what speaks to you.

Keep the Rolex GMT—my favorite model.

DoricSpiker · 20 December 2021, 10:27 PM

The dial on the Polaris is amazing. The GMT is a classic though. You should get roughly 20% off the JLC going grey. I would wait and russle up the cash to enable you to keep the GMT too.

Thanks fellas.

Why not pick up a used JLC for under msrp? Maybe not that exact model but just something to scratch the itch and add diversity.
