I owned a Rolex Explorer II, traded it in made some profit and bought this beautiful JLC Polaris 9008180 blue dial. Although I still own a few Rolex watches in my collection this Polaris smashes the Explorer II. Wears much better, sit low on the wrist as it is fairly thin at 11mm and wears so comfortable. You almost forget you are wearing it until you look down and stare into it’s beautiful dial.
I am now converted to JLC. Forget the long Rolex waiting lists for mediocre watches, invest in a beautiful JLC.
:) Fully agree! the Polaris is Indeed an experience on the wrist. i personally enjoyed my time with this piece on the wrist. as you said, you barely feel it. what can i say, JLC, a Horology company :)
@@BraveBeaters Thanks for the reply Brave Beaters! Keep up the good work, you now have another subscriber 👍🏻
There are many watches which are better than Rolex. Nonsense to buy a Rolex with a super high price. Support JLC! 💪🏻
Sold my Rolex datejust 41mm. Made a profit and purchased a JLC Polaris, blue dial. Simply stunning watch.
Im doing the same thing. Selling my Ex 2. Sead dweller and submariner. Got myself an 2 x IWC aquatimers. Looking for a fifty fathoms 45 titanium and a polaris.
Rolex impresses the masses. JLC impresses the connoisseur. While Seiko impresses the bank account.
I had an Explorer 39mm and switched it for a Polaris 41 (black Dial) - and I have never regretted it.
They are two different types of watches.
After multiple Rolex, submariner, date just 41, OP.... I've settled on the polaris with blue dial.. Exquisite
wow! that version is a true beauty! enjoy it :)
OMG you killed me with that NOKIA ringtone LMAOOOOO
:D
Another amazing and fun review. Looking great in that suit brother! I actually really like this one, it’s beautiful ❤️
I love JLC!
That's a fabulous reference!
"Desk diver" 😄
Thats exactly what it is.
I have it on the JLC rubber strap as my only watch and I love it 🥰
I bet that rubber strap is AMAZING!
@@BraveBeaters Unfortunately it seems JLC is no longer selling the rubber strap for this piece, that's what they told me when I emailed them :( Such a shame... Perhaps it was more popular than the DATE model, and they wanted to "downgrade" it by offering the rubber only on the expensive piece? If you know where I can find the rubber strap please let me know.
picked up a Polaris chrono Sunday Can't wait for it to get here
I own a Polaris Chronograph. I love it.
I'm buying that watch next week! What are you thoughts about the watch? Any major negatives?
@@adrianobanak2824 Watches are a highly subjective thing driven by personal taste and one’s physical dimensions. But I’m very happy with my JLC, which I chose in preference to other chronographs offered by Breitling, Omega and G.O., among others. For me, I made the right choice.
@@davidofglenbrook4487 Yes, i know that. At the end, we buy watches that we like, esthetics of them in the first place. I think this JLC POlaris chronograph is beautiful watch, i had in on my wrist. I fits me perfectly. My questions was more about the build quality, every day usage....do you ever swim in a pool with it? Is chronograph operating smooth? That kind of info.
@@adrianobanak2824 Well as a general matter, I would not opt to have a chronograph on my wrist when I go swimming, although I have no reason to lack confidence in JLC’s 100 meter depth rating. If I want a watch on my wrist when I go swimming, I have my Rolex Sea Dweller for that. And to your second question, JLC’s build quality is superb.
Thanks for the nice review ! Ordered a Polaris with the blue dial. Love how it's both simple and refined. Can't wait to receive it and wear it
Few items I would see as weakness of the watch: no screwn crown and only 100m resistance. Also 40hours of power reserve is a bit small
Hope you enjoy it! Congrats!
I compared the watch with the Longines Legend Diver for some time. TFirst of all, who actually takes the watch into the water when diving? The screw-down crown actually bothered me. When I use the bezel to measure time, and I do this several times a day, I always have to remember to screw the crown back on. Why does this bother me? Because I could forget to screw it back on straight away and because then it would no longer be waterproof. But it also annoys me that I always have to unscrew them first. And as for the power reserve. Well, I wear the watch all day, so why do I need more power reserve?
You really keep putting out incredible video's! Such elegant watches. I had a good laugh with the first alarm 😂
hahaha glad it was welcomed :)
@@BraveBeaters 😃🙌
I dont get tired of seeing this watch, my grail would be the blue enamel version, so much better looking in person even with this excellent video work. It is something I could wear often and no one would know I am wearing a $12k watch. This must have shown up on my feed because of the new dual time release.
I like your videos very much. One can see that you invest much time in preparing them. Continue the good work. Everyone appreciates. I hope you review the Reverso some time. Some models are affordable.
Now that is a one piece collection watch full stop. Another fine video with your usual tongue in cheek style Sir 👍 Tam.
haha thank you! it is a refined piece, love it! :)
God knows how many times I wanted to pull the trigger on this watch, at the end I bought the 39mm explorer, and YES! I did the right thing.
Just imagine when the time comes to service this watch, JLC will make you cry like a baby 😃
I imagine rolex service is 10 bucks then!
@@yousif5191 No!
Apx. $400 for The explorer, local service center, two to four weeks.
At least $1200, switzerland, shipment ( you will pay for it), three to six month.
This is one beautiful watch
:D
I'm glad I discovered this channel! Great review!
Thank you very much! welcome aboard! :)
Great review. JLC = Class. Fact!
Never before has a more true statement been spoken!
Very underrated brand , thanks
I never liked Daytona and this chronograph by JLC is stunning 😍
although I currently have a Rolex Ref. 116231 I am looking to get a Reverso next. it is also so unique even non watch people as about them. Great video! Now I may need a polaris.
Reverso is a crazy beautiful watch! I love it!
Looking sharp in that suit. Keep up the good work. Love the videos.
it is very difficult to keep the helium outside form the case; the trick was to find a way to expel it effectively, so that the crystal doesn't pop out!
As always an amazing review ! So classy my friend ! Thanks for this perfect video 😊
I love the Polaris, and have come close to buying one. I think it looks fantastic on the rubber strap, which unfortunately is only offered as an extra on the non date model.
I'm also a little dubious about the bezel crown, I think it's too easy for it to be moved. I'm not familiar with how other super compressor watches are in this regard.
Yup, i think on rubber can be a killer!
Does the rubber strap look integrated flushed with the case? I see JLC rubber strap option for it with a curved ends on the website. The more I watch this the more I want one. But my heart is set on a Reverso mono face large small seconds and a Rolex 36mm Explorer 2021. Eventually I will own all but which one first since the Polaris can be found for $5700, the Reverso for $5900, and the Explorer 36mm (if I get the call) $7000.
I believe they have also made more movements than any other company.
yes! :)
Sold my Rolex seadweller and bought the JLC navy seals limited edition compressor, never looked back . Under the radar class and perfirmance
Love it, beautiful! The alarm 🤣 genius!! Good to see you all poshed up too. Keep the good work up,
Brave, maybe but certainly not a Beater 😉Thank you 👍🏻👍🏻
:D Thanks!
I died at the nokia ringtone 😂😂😂😂😂 good one!
hahah :D
I would love a Polaris but at the moment the piggy bank is a little bear😁
Piggy Banks are normally pigs rather than bears
Excellent video review. JLC is top tier. I actually like the Longines legend diver a lot more than this watch. And the Longines is such a great value for much less money 💰...
I’m sure it doesn’t need it, but I’d be happier with screw down crowns!
Love the understated elegance but still sufficiently robust. Makes me feel embarrassed to wear my submariner 🤔
Let’s not dramatize that much :))
Totally understand the feeling, a bit like seing a vintage jaguar type E from the window of a Mercedes E class😅.
I'm in if they make a unisex/lady size. I do feel that the movement is too small for the case at the moment.
They could make it perfect. Firstly it needs a better movement ..the current one has a terrible PR and is too small for the case.
Secondly the internal bezel needs a ratchet like the Mariner. And lastly it needs a lume pip on the second hand also like the Mariner. Having said this I still want one.
JLC needs to hire the design team Seiko. Their divers suck.
@@gmshadowtraders all about opinions...... But I disagree, the Mariner is amazing with that blue dial. But they're not really a diver company ...just as Rolex are not really a dress watch company
@@johnprosser5035 I agree, JLC is a movement company. They should just stick to dress watches and nothing else. Like Lange, they can't make sports watches.
@@gmshadowtraders but I do like the Polaris...and with the 39mm Explorer going it's in contention as my next watch.
@@johnprosser5035 I agree, it's nice if you have the money for one. Forget the Explorer, it didn't even go to Everest, and every dickhead knows about Rolex. At least JLC has that cred and respect.
It’s funny that English people has trouble too saying Jaeger :D
I have two Jaeger-Lecoultre Atmos ;)
Definitively considering it
Beautiful in blue with calf strap
nice video, thanks :) ps: what is the music in background?
Thanks for the wonderful video
You can actually hear the alarms under water really well. I can hear my bezel click on my Rolex.
I've just sold my datejust 41mm for a blue dial polaris
Excellent review thank you 😊
My grail watch is the JLC Navy Seals .
Great review! Where did you get that black leather strap? It is so difficult to find fitting leather straps for this watch.
Hi, it's from my buddies, 7friendsandwatches.com, they make premium straps for such pieces. you also have 10% off with the bravebeaters coupon code.
@@BraveBeaters Thank you! I will definitely check it out.
So your conclusion was, its comfortable on wrist, but not as comfortable as a Rolex? Sorry it was a bit hard for me to understand what you were saying. Curious because that's a huge factor at this price point when considering.
It is comfy on the leather combo, I consider it an experience on the wrist. The sub wears comfortable for a bracelet setup.
Mine fits like a glove on leather strap. I have a large wrist
looking as smart, as the watch
I think it’s a great watch ,but I’d rather go for GO Sea Q , thanks
SeaQ is very cool!
Where did you purchase the black strap?
On my list 😍
Masterful review, Thank you so much. Could you please State the brand of the watch strap? Best regards from Tino, Denmark
Thank you! The strap brand is 7Friends&watches. 7friendsandwatches.com/
@@BraveBeaters you are the best... I have already subscribed. Came across your channel as I’m on the Hunt for a standard Polaris to replace My Pelagos When I attend dinners / weekends and so on. I’m a toolwatch kind of watch guy. Keep the good vids comin’. Lots of regards and stay safe. Tino 😊
very nice and funny review
Nice vlog enjoy
Dang thats a cool watch
Nice outfit!!! ;)
Polaris Mariner Date!
Why I don’t like the Polaris more? It’s the right size, right brand, no date, the blue is the right color ... and yet ... I’m not excited by it. Why??
Because it is too much angular and the dial is too big. I prefer the Longines legend diver.
Cartier Santos or this?
both :D depends which one keeps better value in time
Do Aliexpress stock these ?
lol
is there a chunk out of the lug? 5:30
yup :)
If consider it if it was 38mm or even 36mm but at 41mm no way
It's the dapper mr rolex hater
I want to love JLC, but they make ugly watches that don't look quite right. The Polaris being a good example. I know it's haute horology and all, but I'd take a Sub or even a Black Bay over this.
Watch all the emotional Rolex fan boys get upset with this comment! Even though, there’s not a lie detected in your comment!
Boring dial and horrible hands....as usual with JLC aesthetics.
ugly watch, just have a normal dive watch with a normal rotating bezel. Rather have the SeaQ or submariner.
It's a compressor concept. inner bezel, 2 crowns, gasket that puts pressure on the caseback the deeper it goes :)
@@BraveBeaters very cool, I didn't know, it makes it more unique. I know JLC makes incredible watches. I prefer more traditional diver designs. Nice video btw!
An expensive diver's watch with and ugly internal bezel , boring dial and leather strap.
Sorry, but it's not an option. Especially when I already have my new Sub 41 direct from AD at a much better price.
Said no one except you. Keep the sub.
I actually agree... And I am a HUGE JLC fan and own a few models from them. Most of the Polaris line is a let down; too safe and generic in design. Only the Memovox (which I own) and world time stand out. The rest of the line is too ordinary and not JLC enough.
I mean the Sub is a Sub, which to me is just a corporate uniform here as literally everyone has one. Good watch nonetheless but just lacks character for me - like this Polaris automatic.
I have a Sub and it really is one of the most boring watches in the world. You will see in time.
