Guys, have you ever noticed
... that any time there is a post about the NSA, about a problem, raising a question, Catulle comes out of the word work with his negative opinion of the watch that his wife so kindly offered to him as a present.
I would place a bet that for the next post on the NSA he will also come up with some kind of negative thing to say about JLC and the NSA. Not always founded comments if you want my opinion.
An NSA is a watch and when you bang a watch against something, there is a chance that you could damage it. Shit happens even with the best of brands.
Best regards,
George
NSA bezel problem...
So i was at lunch the other day and barely bumped my arm into a table, did not hit the watch, and i heard a clanging noise coming from the ground. I look down and sure enough the ceramic piece from the bezel of my NSA just fell off. I was just wondering i...
Just send it to your AD, he will easily fix it.
First time I hear that, by the way. I have mine for a year and a half, and I can tell you that I used it like a toolwatch, last summer, without any issue. Strange. Best, Nicolas.
Thanks for the quick response Nicolas!
I will just bring it down to my AD later today... Tyler
Navy SEALs...
JLC is one of my favorite watch manufacturers. They do great work, generally speaking; I've been to the factory. But this Navy SEALs hype I think has been too much. I know about JLC, I also happen to know about Navspecwar. Please, give me a break. That be...
Sigh...
No one is claiming that SEALs are issued NSAs or that they're the first watches that Team Six reached for when gearing up for Operation Geronimo. They test them in the field and provide feedback to JLC -- that's it. Whether or not you buy into the hype is...
Don't tell me you buy a watch because it is related to an Elite Corps!
You said it, you bought it because it is nice, because you love(d) it. So, is this relation with the SEALs that important? In my case, I don't care about that, I just care about the watch, and as I said in a previous answer to this post, I really love my ...

Catulle, pls get over it
I'm trying to be diplomatic here. We gentleman here listen as much as we speak. Listening is a virtue, while knocking on empty vessels is not. Please post more often here. You only have 13 posts so far, and most of them are ramblings. We need to hear more...
Oh, I haven't even started...
IP scrutiny and all... It never ceases to amaze me the degree of fanaticism and the kind of Stockholm syndrome that seems to affect these fora. Yes, how many posts... 13? Wow, too many. See, I used to participate in these fora since Richard Paige, remembe...
Ok, so, why did you spend such an outrageous sum on such a poorly executed watch?
I would be you, I wouldn't feed these manufactures which charge us so badly, for watches which cost almost nothing. I don't think our " gentlemany " leads us to forget any objectivity. When we don't love something, we also say it. In an educated way, perh...
Catulle
You are absolutely entitled to your view. I regularly disagree with viewpoints on this forum. It is 100 percent fine to disagree. However, what strikes me about your contributions is that negativity seems to be the ONLY trait that you display. Actually, I...
I'm sorry it isn't your cup of tea
have a good life, without the company of the people you will offend.
In Support of Catulle
In defense of Catulle, (s)he makes a lot of sense.. I will state upfront that this is my first post on this forum, and given the anticipated hate mail the post will likely generate, may also be my last one. But I digress. 1) For those who need to know PRE...
But all your points here are pure common sense...
I think every member of this forum is intelligent. Do you not think your points 1 thru 6 are not common sense...? We all know them well, we are just here because we all love watches (toys) and never want to grow up
nothing wrong with your points, Apo State.
Except that a majority of us buys a watch for what it is and for themselves, not for tjhe recognition, at least that it was I think. Nothing wrong with giving us your opinion. Best, Nicolas.
Challenge to tinker2 - Catulle please read
Sounds like a witch-hunt, doesn't it tinker. In the absence of a cogent counter-argument on the substance, we accuse the opponent of the subversive intent. Not original, but sometimes effective. Unfortunately, I have no clue who Catulle is; I hope he read...
Yea, i see your point. The bezel doesnt look that well-made
thanks for sharing ur perspective!
Absolutely nothing...
The bezel on the NSA (and the rest of the series, for that matter), is designed in a similar fashion to most bezels, with a spring actuated ratcheting mechanism to control the uni-directional rotation and a glued on insert. As I mentioned earlier in this ...
Exactly, Adam!
You made my point before I could. Design wise...I prefer this design to any number of 'novel' ones. (then again, I'm actually not that big a fan of unidirectional bezels...but that's a tiny matter) As for glue? Oh no! It's not like (as you say) most campa...
Witch-hunt
No...I see no witch-hunt. What i do see is a guy called Catulle who basically only wants to complain. I have watches that have aspects that I don't like...but they also have aspects I do like...that is why I own them. I have watches that are not seen as d...
Witch-hunt
Baron, I disagree with you on the witch-hunt point. A switch from the point of an argument onto the personality or motivation of the opponent is, in my opinion, one of the lower forms of debate. If you re-read the last point in my original post, you will ...
Yes...
I agree that there are certainly people who wear watches because they want to show-off their wealth. You are correct. I am the wrong guy to ask, though, about how many I see opposite me on the other side of the table...in business. I see none. So, to re-c...
Faulty NSA Bezel
Hallo, You are not alone! The same has happened to me. I bought my NSA in late 2010 and it was offered at a substantial discount. I now understand why. After a month of ownership the winding crown came out when I was making a time adjustment. It was fixed...
Here we go again...
I've owned my Incursion since late June of 2010, and here's what I've done with it: - Swam in the ocean - Swam in my pool - Gone hiking (all seasons) - Shoveled snow/chipped ice - Changed the oil on my car (and a tire -- that sucked) - Gardened (including...
You answered better than I could...
You can never fight against isolated issues... Ok, let's face it: How many NSAs knew some issues, out of 1500 ( current ) + 82 ( BH Boutique ) + The Aldaos ( I don't remùember how many, maybe 30? )? 5? 10? Now much more, AFAIK. Out of 1600 and some more p...
You hit the nail ...
I'm sure that the most of the happy owners never posted anything here or there stating that the watch is perfect. Since the start of the Internet I'm very aware about this phenomena. Cheers, Nilo
