At the risk of complicating your choice...
The NS Alarm is a great piece. I had one on the other week at an AD and somehow I escaped with my wallet intact. However, when I encounter the NS Automatic, which will hopefully be sooner rather than later, I am quite certain that I will be compelled to pick it up.
Nicolas had a great post on the NS Automatic here: jlc.watchprosite.com
Best of luck!

Master Compressor
I'm a big fan of the Master Compressor range, and my dilemma is based around the fact my local AD has 4 models to choose from and I'm not sure which way to jump. I'm looking for a casual week-end use as I have the Mon-Fri base nicely covered. - So what do...
I'm afraid you won't find any consensus, here
As everyone will have his favourite and defend it... So, I will just give you my opinion, here. I value a lot the NSA, because of its historical connotation: it is an Alarm, a Diving watch, such as the Deep Sea Alarm and the Polaris. So, I would confess a...
Welcome here
Hi Michael, Welcome in this warm communitee. I can only agree with Nicolas, you won't find your answer here. But you fill find some additional insights to base your choice on. Personally I like the NSA very much. A really usefull complication and a stunni...
You can't go wrong with any of these....
Of course, we all have our favorites. Maybe we should all post wrist shots of our MC Divers and Navy SEALs to help a guy out. Her's mine. Seriously, I do not think you can go wrong with any one that you choose. Just figure out which one looks best on YOUR...
Wow, Respo, what a wrist shot!
Looks really great on you... Damn, I shouldn't have looked at it, my wish list is really too long! Best, Nicolas
Thanks, Nicolas
You are always very kind. Now I just need to find some water to dive into. Best, respo
Agreed Nicolas - but remember...
You would be buying only the watch, not the muscles Respo: Nice shot! I have previously not been so convinced about this design, but on your wrist it look very good! It's a great idea to post wrist shots of the various MC models to help our friend out. I ...
Thanks, Nikolaj
...for your kind words. I have much to say about this watch, and one of these days I will do a post. One of the amazing things about JLC is that they can produce such watches as your gorgeous and refined Reverso Chronographe and this massive, innovative D...
Hey, respo
...I think I recall you asking about divers watches. This is the one you ended up with? Congratulations.
Yes, thanks.
I had been obsessing about this one for while, and I finally dove in. respo
Well done!
Sorry, Respo, I re-read my post and it could be contrued as sarcastic. I don't know how you finally decided, too many choices. Looks good. You've got the wrists for it. Have you had a chance to get the depth needle to move?
LOL.
No worries, I did not take your comments as anything less than congratulatory. And thank you. Well, I have only gotten the depth meter to move by gently pressing on it with my finger. And it may be the only way for quite some time. I am not a diver (he sa...
NSC wrist shot
I think that the GMT hand is legible yet subtle (and totally hidden in this photo!)....
Can My GMT Play?
No, not a diver. And no, I don't have the wrists for a 44mm behemoth. But still in the family, no? Best, Ken in NYC...
Thanks for the responses
Appreciate those that took the time to get back to me. I know enough about watches to know there can be some issues with movements, and some models just aren't considered collectable for various reasons. The Navy SEALS have attracted some cynical posts ab...
Hi Mirado
Here comes a NSA wrist shot. Respo - what a beast! Looks great! Best Blomman...
Yes Respo
I really love the compressor series! I was very close to pick up the MC Diving GMT, luckily I hold of for a while, and then the NSA came. As you might seen in my post “Ten years since I got… ” the NSA falls right into “my cup of tea“! But ever since I saw...
I promise to write up some thoughts about the DGP soon
Suffice to say for now, it is a truly amazing diver and it wears surprisingly well and comfortably for sucha beast. respo
Well, Mirador
I don't think that the majority would think of any of these divers as folly, but there will always be some who do not like any given piece for whatever reasons. But who cares? I don't think there is any question about the movements in any of these JLC div...
Thanks mate
Your read my thoughts well, and thanks for responding. Having slept on it for a couple of nights I think I'll lock the NSA in as a real option to pursue.
My MC-GMT wrist shot...
I know this won't help your decision but I'm toying with the idea of buying this watch a close relative - the SEAL Chrono GMT. To me it's the perfect combination! N...
