Looks great, but I wish it had a "3".

Most manufactures make their dial like that.

I prefer an offset date so all numerals are present.

I love it, truly beautiful, though it begs for a no date dial.
Merde Alors! Et Vive Les Francais! :)

Agreed, would love to see a no date or an offset date here. Don't really understand why manufacturers keep thinking that we need date windows in this day and age...

I like the improvements/changes I see over my version. The red accents are a nice touch. Will definitely help with centering the inner bezel. Semi skeletonized hands look good. A lume pip on the seconds hand with a red tip. Really wish I had that. Extended PR (I’m assuming that’s most of the price increase)

Hopefully they also improved some of the old versions issues. Mine has lots of play in the hands when setting the time. The inner bezel crown rotates too easily. I wish it had a snap at 12 o’clock or anything to help center it. The rotor sounds like it’s unidirectional and loud. But not that scratchy miyota noise. It’s more of a tiny ball bearings loud. I tell myself it sounds classier.

Cool watches even with their quirks. The prices are still absurd. Id cap them around 6k.

It’s a great looking watch, but too many comments on the Polaris line in general to ever make me want to shell out that kind of money for one.

Agree on the date. Swing and a miss on a full count.

Also, for me to shell out JLC cash, it had better be classic dial color.
