I'm sure you will love it, Pink Panther.
If you live near a JLC Boutique, contact them and ask them to inform you when they have the proto to show you, but I'm sure you will adore it!
Best,
Nicolas
Love the N.S.A.

Thanks for these news shots, Nicolas. That's really a great and very desirable watch. It would be a good alternative to the Polaris. Do you know when they will be available ? I am impatient to at least try one.... Thom.
The first ones may hit our floor in October, Titof

Hi, Thom, A pleasure to see you here, my French Friend. The question is to know if the N.S.A is an alternative or a complement of the Polaris. Obviously, the N.S.A borrows some elements from the Pola, as the shape of the numbers, even if, on the N.S.A, th...
I think...

that this watch is absolutely 100% gorgeous, Nicolas. My only regret is the plain case back, as I would like to look at the movement. But I understand it's better to avoid a sapphire case back in a diving watch... Congratulations, I hope you'll have yours...
I want one...

... such a fantastic watch. It's nice to see some more pics of this watch at different angles. In fact, it looks even nice than the last time I saw it. Thanks for posting, Nicolas. regards Bretta

yes, the bright lights at SIHH must have made taking pictures very difficult, but the beauty still shone through. I hope i'm in a lucky enough position to acquire this beautiful piece when it comes out, but who knows, times are hard. Have you already orde...
how thick is the beast?
By: time2tic : May 21st, 2009-01:29
lovely pictures. I like this watch very much. I think it is the nicest dive watch produced for a long time. I can't help to think that an all black version with a ceramic case "a la Amvox" would be a total killer. ( but may be more heavy on the wrist).
Life more difficult ;-)

These are the best photos I have seen so far, and they make the NSA seem more attractive to me now than at first blush. I like the strap very much -- it suits the watch. But I would still like to see it on an articulated rubber bracelet or even a titanium...

When the pictures of this watch first emerged, I thought Wow, just what I was wanting from JLC. However, I have somewhat cooled towards it since. I feel that the numerals are oversized compared to the hour markers and the numerals on the existing watches ...
There are many Alarm Watches, David, I agree
By: amanico : May 21st, 2009-12:27
But one still misses...The Memovox! Hope that we'll see a come back, and the soonner, the better, as it is, at least to me, an Iconic Watch! In the diving / sport range, yes, the offer is very wide. It will allows us to find OUR Alarm, being the N.S.A, th...
Thanks Respo...

My personal quest is still leaning towards the EWC. I love the amvox1 & 2, but the EWC just ticks more boxes. I feel sure that this is the JLC sports model for me, but I need to be patient whilst I accumulate funds!!! Cheers my Yankee Doodle Dandy!! David
Yes you are right
By: respo : May 21st, 2009-12:40
This is NOT a serious problem, as I joked above. In the best of all worlds, I think I would get the Diving GMT and a certain one of the Polaris re-editions to satisfy my cravings, but I have to be very selective about these choices and that is all part of...
Ahhh, the Memovox...
By: david.graham : May 22nd, 2009-04:46
I would love to see this watch return to the Master Control series (it should never have left)!! That would certainly be a watch I would like to obtain. It is one watch that you see very few of on the after-market, which I think speaks volumes for the mod...
change of heart?
By: emcquillan : May 22nd, 2009-05:04
I must admit that I wasn't intrigued by the Navy Seals models from the initial press photos released by JLC, but these live shots of the NSA are terrific. The black Cordura strap looks perfect. I hope they keep this combination for production. Just what I...

1/ The N.S.A is 44 mm, the Navy Seals Chrono is 46,2mm. 2/ The N.S.A is a Limited Edition of 1500 pieces. 3/ If you really want it, it is better to put your name on the waiting list right now, as you never know. 4/ The Diving Chrono is not the same watch,...
Amanico,
By: jme78 : May 22nd, 2009-17:33
I really appreciate the quick response. I think I will put my name down with the AD I use. I really was leaning towards the GO until I saw this last round of pictures you had. I really do believe that it is different enough than the JLC MCDC to warrant ha...
Wow!
By: TonyR : May 22nd, 2009-14:08
Thanks for posting additional pictures. This watch is a perfect blend of two JLC favorites of mine. (Polaris & MC Memovox) I can't wait to see it in person! Tony
Yes, Tony R
By: amanico : May 22nd, 2009-22:20
To me, even if it doesn't have the name, this is a black dialed Memovox... Like the Polaris and the Deep Sea Alarm, too. It has all of the Memovox aesthetic, even the 2 ( compressor )crowns. Well seen, my friend. Best, Nicolas
Bad point for you, Starman
By: amanico : May 23rd, 2009-12:36
You didn't read what I wrote... I psecified that it wasn't my wrist, but the ( chicken ) wrist of my Contact at JLC... And he really has a chicken wrist. The watch isn't that thick, and if you want to be sure, try a Diving GMT, it is quite the same size. ...
