JLC Polaris Chronograph

[tna23]

Hi

A couple of weeks ago I visited my local AD just to browse and happened to try on the JLC Polaris Chronograph in blue. Because I have a 6.5 inch wrist, I expected it to be too big. However the watch is fairly thin and has a short lug to lug height, so it ended up being an acceptable fit.

Since then, I have been obsessed with the Polaris. Unfortunately, the only way for me to purchase it is to let go of another piece of roughly equivalent value - my 116710LN. The other watches in my collection is a BB58 (watch I wear the most), Omega globemaster (currently trying to sell but expecting to take a bath on it) and a GO Sixties that I absolutely love.

So, should I go ahead and sell my GMT to fund the Polaris or do you think it's a bad trade that I'll end up regretting?

I would be grateful for your thoughts.

I would keep the GMT and sell the BB58 or GO. Polaris Chrono is a very nice watch.

I like both the Polaris and Polaris Chrono a lot also. Haven’t seriously looked into one but saw they weren’t outlandish $. In your situation I’d sell the globmaster and add funds to pick up a grey/used Polaris chrono. Good luck.

I wouldn't sell either of those. The BB58 is the best everyday watch I've had and is just so perfectly proportioned and comfortable. The GO is a stunning dress watch which I regularly wear to the office. The GMT is probably the watch that I wear the least (other than the globemaster which is going).

Out of interest, why do you not wear it much?

That's my ideal scenario but reluctant at this stage to spend more money on a watch. We have other priorities.
