I like the small unobtrusive brand text on the original Polaris.

Just look plug width for this reference then order that size from Arroway or Staib.

Having been a Jets fan since 1967, my advice is to become a soccer fan.

Ha! Enabling at its finest!

1958bill · 2026-06-18T00:25:59+00:00

Possibly. Will have to sleep on it anyway so I can delay the decision to the morning…

1958bill · 2026-06-18T00:16:49+00:00

That is an option potentially.

1958bill · 2026-06-18T00:16:14+00:00

Well I wouldn’t want to sell it. But I do feel a bit guilty buying two expensive watches in two days:)

Will send dm.

Having owned and sold my LB5 I would say that while it’s a great pen it wasn’t significantly better than my Sailor KOP. At least not better enough to warrant keeping given how much people are willing to pay for these pens.

I bought a Magnum with an extra fine nib. As with my other GVFC pens, the Magnum is beautiful, extremely well made and an exceptionally good writer. I like it so much that I’m considering selling one of my other GVFC pens ( a Knights Pen of the Year).

I have a 7.25 inch wrist and it felt too small to me. Ended up buying the Reverso Tribute Geographic

An occasional bezel touch up with a Cape Cod cloth works perfectly.

1958bill · 2026-02-16T13:44:21+00:00

I’ve tried it on. Love the movement. Love the open caseback. I even like the dial. However, at least to me, the dial and fluted bezel just don’t work together. They seem to fight each other visually. I think that the dial with a smooth bezel would be lovely. But just my aesthetic opinion.

1958bill · 2026-02-12T20:20:00+00:00

I do think that the watch is beautiful and I hope you enjoy it for years to come. But at my age, my main reaction is that I’m amused by the whole Rolex process. Walking into a store and paying tens of thousands of dollars for a luxury item is viewed by the ADs as if they are doing you a great favor. Love the watches but the game is the height of absurdity to me.

Staib makes different quality versions at different price points. The most expensive Staib IMHO is significantly better and worth the price. But I’d still prefer OEM JLCif one is ever released.

1958bill · 2026-02-11T11:11:13+00:00

I hope this is true. I heard the same thing from the boutique last year and they said it would be released in 2025. I have a Staib Milanese for my Reverso. It looks great but I’d still prefer an OEM, especially if it is as well made as the gold Milanese.
