Probably Polaris

Jun 30, 2012,07:02 AM
 

Fernando, This is a tough choice. My 'two cents' would be to probably get the Polaris as its so 'different' from the DSA you already have.  


Coincidentally, I just picked up a TT DSA US yesterday ( will post the pics separately so as not to overwhelm your thread with DSA comments!), and love it.  However, I do not have the European version, and between completing the DSA set with a European and the TTP, I'd probably get the Polaris for a change.

All that said, you cannot go wrong in your two choices.  If you have a chance to look handle the two side by side, you will surely know what is the right option for you.

Cheers

Im stuck in a quandary and normally I would not pose such a question as Im usually decisive and know what my heart desires. However, in this case, some feedback and suggestions would be highly appreciated, as Im unable to reach a verdict in this case. ... 

Difficult choice, my friend but the good thing is that you won't go wrong with each

Of these 2. They have two different characters. The TT Polaris is close to a Panerai, in terms of feeling. Big, powerful, thick, it has al ot of presence, and offers an immediate pleasure. It is more eye catching than the TT DSA. The TT DSA Europe plays a...

after reading what you wrote I'm getting a clearer picture as to which way to go. It's either the Polaris 68 or the DSA US. The 65 or the Pt. piece are not on my sights yet but maybe if it presents itself then I'll worry about it then :). I'm glad you res... 

Polaris gets me vote !

Passed up on a Polaris 3yrs back, never been able to forgive meself ...... U have an enviable problem, I say get em both !! In all seriousness, IMO u have the better half of the DSA. The fact that the 68 has cast doubts shows that the desire to complete t... 

I hear you flamenco :)

I guess the chance of my catching another BNIB Polaris 68 is probably less likely than a DSA US but on the other hand there are less of the DSA US in total circulation. Getting both would definitely solve the problem and the easy way out. :) But then ther...

and you have a very good point why I should pick the Polaris as it would add variety, being a totally different watch. I am actually leaning in this direction. :) Major congrats on your DSA US! (pls. post soon) That's one less for me if I should ever want... 

Polaris for me
