JLC Polaris Blue
Was really excited to see this, might be a new addition to the collection. Beautiful blue, love the clean dial with three distinct areas.

I really like this watch and it photographs very well. It wears much smaller than it appears and the resale is dismal but I could be an owner at the right price. I also like the Chronograph.

I really like this one. If they made the date version in the smaller size it would be toward the top of my list of what to buy next.

I've had a chance to try on the black dial and the chrono version at the boutique.. very nice watches and sits nicely on the wrist.

Gorgeous blue dial. I really like all the texture of the dial. Please post pictures if you pick it up.

At first, I had slight buyer's remorse, because I hadn't really planned the next steps for my collection. But that's all in the past. This has become my go-to watch, the one I grab without thinking. Everything else requires a conscious decision to make it to my wrist. I think it's the combination of beauty, simplicity and extreme legibility (old eyes!) under any conditions that makes it a winner. Sent from my SM-J327P using Tapatalk

The JLC Polaris watches are amazing... On paper. In person, for me, for reminiscent of the IWC 3531: Nice movement, nice case, obviously cheap dial.
I just could not get past that in person. |

I felt the same way- the grainy matte ring on the dial made it look cheap and plastic-like IMO. A bit Polaris-ing I guess OP, if you love the dial then otherwise I think it’s a great watch Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro |

It's interesting to hear the negative comments about the dial, because I really liked it - the three different blues and their textures really do play wonderfully with the light, the simple jlc trapazoid indices are eminently readable, and the lume is very good. I guess it's all about readability as you get older - I can casually glance at this watch anytime without glasses and see the time. That's unique among my half dozen quality watches.
Also, forgot to mention another point that turned it into my default choice - it's very comfortable on the wrist, even though it's my largest watch. It's not very thick, the bracelet is excellent, and the strap/deployant is very fine quality. Sent from my SM-J327P using Tapatalk
