I didn't hesitated too long as soon I saw it. Even that the Rolex was the most prefered of my watches for my wife (they can make some mistakes).
I also love the Deep Sea by the way and it was difficult for me to let it go, but...

I have the Diving Pro on articulated band. I now hesitate a lot to change it for a Titanium. Even I like it a lot like that, I allready have the NSA on the same one and I don't have metal band anymore.

What do you think about?

Best

Diving Pro

 
 By: mamac : January 31st, 2011-10:02
Hi Everyone, I must be crazy but I plan to sell my Rolex Sed Dweller Deep Sea for a JLC MC Diving Pro. I think it will be better for my collection. I allready have a TTP 65, a Navy Seals alarm, a TT Deep Sea (ordered) and a Tides of Time on route. What do... 

Two monsters

The Rolex Deep Sea and the JLC Pro Geo are two monsters, indeed. The JL Pro Geo is even thickerand bigger than the Rolex Deep Sea. Be sure, before decising anything, that your wrist will stand it. Now, do you have to sell your Rolex Deep Sea for the JLC P... 

Tanks a lot

I know you are fan of the Deep Sea. I allways have been. I had 3 or 4 See Dweller and I sold the last one last december on your recommandations. But things changes in my case. I have been allways was of JLC especialy the Memovox but that passion increased... 

An extra depth meter is a nice safety device

however, I don't have this watch because I have always a dive computer plus I have an extra depth gauge fixed with my regulator set. I have SDDS but I consider this watch an "overkill" for diving. I personally like much more the old Sea-Dweller. Best, Kar... 

Thanks Kari

The old Sea Dweller was great indeed. But I had the last version and wich has been produced a lot of. And I have a large wrist. ;-) I am not a diver but I love diving watches. I am thinking that the depht meter is a great innovation. Best Marc

Depth meter is great indeed,

 
 By: dr.kol : January 31st, 2011-14:42
especially for diving... On dry land it does not have much value but if you love the watch, why not. I have noticed that most of the fans of diving watches are either non-divers or desk-divers. But surely, the diving watches are also great sporting watche... 

Difficult one...

Big fan of JLC MC diving pro and equally the DSSD...I would lean towards keeping the DS for it wearability factor but honestly I wouldn't have an issue wearing the JLC either. I seems to me your more of a JLC fan...so I would go to what sing to your the m... 

You already have the NSA so I'd suggest you keep the Deepsea...

...and wear it as a beater or something. Better than to sell it unless you get a very good price. Ruckdee

The trade

 
 By: mamac : February 1st, 2011-04:58
Hi, I've just receive the information. The trade between the Diving Pro and the Deep Sea is 3.000€ (to add for the Pro) It seems that the watch is as "new" and complete. I think it's a good price. It is on rubber articulated but I will change it for Titan... 

funy ...

 
 By: P@trick@Belgium : February 1st, 2011-13:49
I see you live in Belgium like I do and I have my JLC Pro Geo Diver for sale at the moment via a well known seller in our country so maybe without knowing you are buying mine anyway it's a great watch , i just parted from mine because i have other watches... 

I owned one for a while

 
 By: respo : February 1st, 2011-19:50
It is an amazing watch. As Nicolas mentioned above, the depth meter is rare (only three manufacturers I am aware of make an all-mechanical depth meter wrist watch), and there is no other that combines the second time zone with the DM, again as far as I am... 

Thanks a lot paying attention to my post

 
 By: mamac : February 1st, 2011-23:04
Thanks Respo. I knew you had one because I saw your post with very nice pictures on another site. ;-) I will see the watch in 10 days only. If it is in realy good state I will go for it. I pay attention on the watch itsel and on boxes and papers. All my w... 

I made the plunge... :-)

 
 By: mamac : February 11th, 2011-09:24
I finaly had an appointment with the guy who was selling the Diving Pro. I was quite as new and complete. I couldn't resist to increase my JLC Collection and add it to my Tribute to Polaris 1965, my Vintage rebuild as new, my NSA, the Tides of Time and th... 

YES! Congrats, Marc.

I won't change it if it were up to me.

 
 By: TdotBean : March 3rd, 2011-18:17
I somehow see in future you will end up with another seadweller. Is not my intention to upset you. Since you have a passion for diving watch. My guess is this love will not go away so easily. When it is time for Rolex to travel back to your wrist, no doub... 

Congrats, again!
