Jaeger-LeCoultre Deep Sea Chronograph - It's mine
Team,
My quest ended.
I selected the DSC (3 registers) based on those items:
1) I didn't like the "faux" vintage look of the TTDSA or the DSC (two registers).
2) The DSC (3 registers) has a modern look and a two barrel movement that seems to be very nice.
A quick smart phone pic of it on my wrist.
I'm not go to post a full review later.
This watch already got the usual wonderful coverage here by Nicolas but later I will do something like a "one month on my wrist".
My warm thanks to all that helped this selection.
Finally, I'm back to the JLC kingdom.
Cheers,
Nilo

Thanks Joe ...
But living here, I'm scared even to do window shopping on a Rolex AD. I''m sort of safe with my two Tudors but a cyclops on the crystal or any similarity to a Sub if far from being a good idea here. Cheers, Nilo
Hej, Joe !.. Also good luck to you !.. I'm still not sure, if my next R is in stock.. ;)
.. as we had a long weekend, with a holiday today, couldn't find out; - And I am still reflecting a bit, whether to get a/ the Vintage GMT first .. Or b/ if Batman (aka Bruiser) is going to prevail Honestly, currently the chips are more to the latter ( we...
Yep.....
Rolex told me the soonest i could get one was April. But I know a man, who know's a man..... so will have it next week!!
Little pity, somehow.. I can't peek over your shoulders, Gentlemen..
.. Well, we'll see and know soon, probably; - maybe with some Borat- technique ( ) pictures (?) Best, ;) hs PS: I'm collecting pill after pill - pls let Dr Mamadu know
Holiday here, as mentioned !.. Long wait ?.. A sincere Congrats..
.. you took the plunge and have pulled the trigger ! :) :) Maybe a brother in arms, soon.. Best, my friend hs PS: will PM you shortly, if I may...
Nice catch, Nilo.. +1 on most of your reasoning.. Wear it in good health !.. :)
.. although, on a humble personal note I really stand by my decisions for getting the two TT-DSAs, which have delivered much pleasure to me.. - One thing is for sure: you now have a modern, 2-barrel mvmt - Chrono, a turning bezel ( I think -?) and three s...
Thank you Hs ...
Yes, the bezel turns, at it should be. Of course, if someday I go crazy again with my wallet, the DSA is the way to go. Cheers, Nilo
Thank you Vlad for ...
All of the "bad" influence. I'm in love with my "trois compteurs" (Thanks to Hs for this info). Cheers, Nilo
Congratulations!
Always like people who make their own choises. Although I like the TTDSA, I kind of understand your remark about the "faux" look. I Aleays would try to go for the original in that case. Nice watch you have! Best regards, Dirk
I agree ...
If I want a vintage, is better to chase one (Impossible dream in the JLC case - they are locked on a Paris "Catacombe"). Cheers, Nilo
Thank you Bill ...
I'm loving this chronograph. Of course I already put another strap. The original one is nice but I'm afraid that was not conceived thinking on our weather here (peak of the summer, 34C/93.2F, humidity to the roof). Cheers, Nilo
I love this watch. Congratulations on the great choice!
Still on my wishlist for someday :-) Enjoy it! Best David
A logical "Nilo" choice...!
I am very happy for you, my friend! Congratulation! :) If JLC had released this one as a "modern" chrono, I would have loved it! But, they put the name Deep Sea on it and in my book, this is NOT a Deep Sea... Sorry. Best Blomman
Well ...
Blomman, I agree about the "Deep Sea" but it's written on the back. I got this one because of the overall style and movement. If the DSA had white lume, I could get it. Cheers, Nilo
Thanks and good luck ...
Daniel, With your dream. Before I forget, welcome to the PuristSPro. Cheers, Nilo
Congrats Nilo!
I like this watch too. Somehow, I am not into vintage (yet) and prefer modern watches. This Deep Sea Chrono looks great on you! Wise choice indeed cheers robin
Where's the review?
When will you be posting the one month review? I'm really looking forward to it.
Be patient...
JLC requires at least the same level of detail that I did with the IWC Portuguese Classic. Then I plan to do a shoot out between those two outstanding chronographs. Cheers, Nilo
I will and
Bravo, I respect and appreciate the time you are taking with this review. I will patiently wait.....at the edge of my seat ;) Kind regards, Clav
