I lost the two live pictures I took of this watch. So, I will just add my comments.

This Diver is 42, 2 mm big, which is not a problem, to me, since it is a tool watch.
Now, if we compare it to the original, the original had a central second, which is, in m opinion, more interesting than the small second, for a diving watch, I mean.
AND... The original didn't have a date!
Truth to be told, if it didn't have the date, I would have seriously considered it.
You have to see the engraved case back, which reminds me the one of the JLC Deep Sea Alarm. Beautiful.
The hands, ok, they are thick, but they are legible.
I also love the indices, which remind me a certain Breguet Diver from approximatively the same era.
The movement, the Cal UN 320 has a silicon escapement and hair spring.
Glamour, charming, quite nice looking, but the date spoils a bit the attraction of this watch, for me.
While the small seconds is not my preference, but I could have lived with that.
Before I forget, the glass is sapphire, not plexy.
And the water resistance is 100 meters.
Best,
Nicolas
