FS: Jaeger-LeCoultre JLC Polaris Automatic 41mm Blue 9008480 w/ Additional JLC Strap

[tvlaan]

Up for sale is a really amazing timepiece - the new JLC Polaris Automatic 41mm with the blue dial. The three textures on the dial really make the watch stand out and when the light hits it, you'll find yourself admiring the depth and uniqueness of the dial rather often.

When i ordered the watch, i really like the thick brown calfskin strap, but really wanted the more vintage looking tan calfskin strap that comes with the black dialed version, so i ordered that and put it on. I will include both straps which feature the integrated quick change spring bars and are both in mint condition.

From JLC:

A FASCINATING DIAL

The three gradients of deep blue on the dial of the Jaeger-LeCoultre Polaris Automatic watch draw the eye to its meticulous finishes: an opaline rehaut, grained hour markers and sunray-brushed center.


The watch was worn for a few days, but i just find that the case size is just slightly too big for me. I typically wear 38-40mm watches, but when i saw this in person, i had to give it a go. It is in TZ MINT 98% condition (and i rate my watches conservatively). Case and crystal look as new and there are only the faintest marks/creasing on the straps from the few days of wear.

Comes as a complete set with outer boxes, presentation box, hang tags, manuals, AD stamped warranty from late May 2018, JLC pouch and extra strap.

Looking for $5750 for the whole set (pp add 3%). I'll cover shipping via USPS Registered Mail. Not really interested in trades, but i'm open to hearing what you've got either way (nothing under 38mm, nothing over 41mm).

Plenty of references. Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks!

Back up for sale - freshly back from JLC who added the updated crown system. If anyone is thinking of buying one of these (or recently did) make sure you check to see if it has the updated crown system. It's free and extends the warranty by an extra year...
