The one that started my watch addiction

Nov 07, 2022,06:19 AM
 

This one is the one that started my watch journey (some would call it an addiction), building off the Polaris I inherited from my father.

Bought pre-owned in Brussels late 2004. Still have it, but wear it too little. Will wear it today!

Of course, it led to more compressors in my life. First, the Navy Seals Alarm. Woderful watch! Then letting that one go as part of a trademfor the Extreme Lab 2.

I love the Compressor line(s) and wish that they would come back.

As I was making a fresh picture for the WS today I was wondering any (how many) MCMs are still out there with the forum members. It used to be a seminal JLC of sorts decades ago, with its modern Magali Metrailler styling and the cool crowns. Feel free to ...  

Half an hour later...

The Extreme Lab 2 is the clear pinnacle but the others certainly make for appealing parts of the journey, too πŸ‘ŒπŸ»πŸ™ŒπŸ»πŸ‘πŸ»

Thank you!

Was lucky that the EL2 showed up at the right time - and that the owner was looking for a Navy Seals Alarm.

Thank for the inspiration!
