Quick pics on the D.S.A Europe on Vintage Leather Strap
It seems that looing ofr the ideal strap on the Polaris is contagious, as now, I 'm working on the D.S.A... Here's the outcome: The idea behind was to enhance the Vintage rough loo of the Deep Sea Alarm, and also the chocolate dial . It matches, too, with...
Cool! I like this combo...
...even more than when this same strap was on the Pola. Very rough, masculine, and vintage look you've got going there, Nicolas. You should grow a five o'clock shadow to go with it! Daos
In fact, there are not so many straps
To consider on this watch. This one, maybe a grey black one, and the tropic ( as it was, for this last, the original strap for this watch ). But hey, this is real fun to test them all, and in a certain way, it helps to better know its " personality ". Bes...
No, I don't think you have a strap problem, really, no...
LOL. Seriously, I like this one a lot with the DSA -- works well with the indices, as you sid, and is in keeping with the vintage nature of this watch. Good choice! I really love the look of thisDSA overall very much. respo
Another great Vintage JLC, Respo
When I put it side by side with the Polaris, it is just heaven to see them! As for the strapalcoholic I am...I need a serious cure, indeed! Best, Nicolas
What age qualifies as vintage...
...'90s, 80s' 70s, 60s and earlier? In any case, yes I think it must be something to see the Polaris and the vintage DSA side by side. Congrats! respo
Literally, " Vintage " is a contraction of " Vingt ans d'age "
Which in English is " Twenty years old ", according to my Borat dictionary... BUT, For Purists, watches made before 1980 can be considered as Vintage. No problems for the Deep Sea Alarm or the Polaris as they were respectively released in 1959 and 1963 - ...
Thanks
Great information, although I feel like I should have figrued out the meaning of the word myself. And good to know that pre-1980's=vintage. respo
VINTAGE is your engine, dear Friend
Your perpetual search is our pleasure, too. Thanks again for sharing. Merci et bravo Patrickh
I try to balance a bit between Vintage and Modern Watches
And wearing all of them is a real pleasure, Patrick. I have only 4 or 5 Vintage JLC to hunt, yet, before closing this thema. A perpetual search, hunt, and pleasure! Thanks for your kind words, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Thanks, Neil
Damn I love it so much that I'm always speaking of it... Will have to give you all a change! Best, Nicolas
Nicolas, please don't...
...change on our account. I look forward to the treasures that you bring to this forum as well as "your experiments" in strap/watch matching. It is not only entertaining but very educational and I thank you for that. N
A perfect match Nicolas !
The strap will darken a little with age and will complement the markers perfectly .
This is the only problem of this strap, Jeff
It is too new, and it lacks patina... C&n't agree more, nor wait to see its aging. Best, Nicolas
Not sure...
While I don't mind that combination. I really have a thing against divers on leather. (Panerai don't count, they are based on a time when there was not much alternative, except, perhaps, canvas) Now I know these old watches are very unlikely to ever see w...
A Purist approach, Ben
But some leather straps were treated for water activities...So I played on this ground... But once again, the D.S.A never came with such a strap, so you're right. But, on another side, it works well! Best, Nicolas
A very good match IMO.
Especially, after a bit more mileage on the leather. These vintage pieces are killing me! Pls. stop posting them .......well, if you have to, the how about a wrist shot to verify the beauty of this fabulous combo? Cheers fernando
Will do the wrist shot a bit later, Fernando
Thanks, my friend. Yep, seems that my journey in Time with JLC Vintage watches is a bit longer than I thought... There are so many treasures to discover... Best, Nicolas
