Let's start the year with the 2 crowns of my vintage Jaeger Lecoultre collection: Deep Sea Alarm US and Europe Ref E 857.

I reviewed the Deep Sea Alarm many years ago. They are rare, a bit less than 1100, made from 1959 to 1961, most of them are the US version, the European being super rare ( around 100 / 150 ).
