Amanico shares the restoration journey of his Lecoultre Deep Sea Alarm, detailing hand changes, plexy replacement, and movement service to restore its original beauty.

Which is interesting with this old picture os to remind me how my Lecoultre Deep Sea Alarm was, when I bought it, and re bought it. I bought it in 2008, then traded it for a better one, then my better one has been stolen, and then I re bought my first Lecoultre Deep Sea Alarm. Since I re bought it,

Which is interesting with this old picture os to remind me how my Lecoultre Deep Sea Alarm was, when I bought it, and re bought it.

I bought it in 2008, then traded it for a better one, then my better one has been stolen, and then I re bought my first Lecoultre Deep Sea Alarm.

Since I re bought it, in 2012, I had some work on it. First, changing the hands for more conventional ones, but the one which are pictured below may well be the good ones, too.

Then I changed the plexy for a new old stock one.

I cleaned the dial a bit, and... A big service on the movement.

Here it is, in its original beauty.

Next and last step? I will tell you a bit later...

But I love this photo a lot!

Best,

Nicolas

Next step?

Diamond-set bezel? PVD coating? Rubber B watch strap? Rose gold crowns? Diamond pave dial? The options are limitless! ...just kidding, my friend. Really intrigued to see what you have planned for this legendary piece. Cheers, John

I am giving time to time and seeing how my nos dial will age. If it develops a nice and warm patina, I will mount it on this watch.

It it stays as it is, I will hunt another DSA US with a rotten dial, to put it. Best, John. Nicolas
