Re: An Early Milestone
Every time I look at the JLC range, that’s the watch that catches my eye the most, particularly the blue. Superb choice and congratulations.

Re: An Early Milestone
Congratulations, Iain! You know how to pick something special. The JLC is quite a stunner.

Re: An Early Milestone
Thanks everyone for your kind comments. I’m pleased the effort I put into writing that post also seems to have been appreciated going off what you are saying.

Re: An Early Milestone
Congratulations!
I read a (very) short version of this chain of events elsewhere, and as I read this here, I had to resist the tempt to scroll down and bag the spoiler. Well written, and what a fabulous item to mark an important milestone.

Re: An Early Milestone
Thanks.
Wyatt, the abridged version appeared on the watchchat Facebook group. FB doesn’t lend itself to long posts so I put a slimmed down version but mentioned the full story was on here for those that chose to come and read it.

Re: An Early Milestone
Great story, and well written. You could have a second career should you become tired of the engineering stream.
Also, I think that 3 watch collection is cracking. But then I'm biased as mine is not hugely dissimilar - IWC Petit Prince (as you know), a grey Omega Speedmaster Racing and a blue Aqua Terra.
Thanks for taking the time to entertain us all.

Re: An Early Milestone
Congratulations Iain, stunning watch. I also enjoyed the background and great that you have a few watches with a sentimental attachment that you can hang on to.

Re: An Early Milestone
Great write up, and a wonderful conclusion. The Polaris Automatic is a superb all-rounder and a great milestone watch. Enjoy!
