I certainly got a fast start!
I'm just not sure how this bodes for the rest of the year. I suppose I'm lucky that the Reverso Repetition Minutes that I saw listed by a local dealer was already sold by the time I contacted him. It gives me something to wait for : )
My first new watch of the year, and it’s a JLC!
Ok, so it isn't all that new, just new to me. Last year, thanks in part to posts by the evil Vlad, yet another JLC watch caught my eye: the Master Mariner Deep Sea. As I already owned a TT Polaris 1968 and was considering buying a Deep Sea Alarm I found I...
Mark, huge congratulations, my friend!
That is a super catch! Which will need some small improvements, but nothing too serious nor impossible to do. You will see, this one will recceive a lot of wrist time. You will not even notice its modest size, but you will fall for its character. Bravo, m...
Thanks Nicolas.
I agree with you about the Master Mariner's character. Its' charms more than make up for its' somewhat diminutive size.

Hi, Congratulations for your catch. It may be the less sought after of the three, but it's a gorgeous watch to wear and generally still a bargain in the vintage world. I have one that I've hesitated a lot to keep as it has a repainted red central hand but...
Thanks Dje
I think it's a keeper! If you send it off to JLC you'll have to post some pictures when it comes back.
Excellent pickup, congrats
and I can relate to your dilemma. Sending it to MJLC would mean parting from it for a long time (well over one year I suspect) and replacing the crown and tropic can be done by a skilled watchmaker. Cheers, Asi
Thanks Asi
I have to admit that I'm leaning towards sending it off to JLC for the full spa treatment. While I understand the argument for leaving it unrestored, I must admit that photos like this one from JLC's One Magazine make me want it back to its' original glor...
Congrats on another JLC!
Looks like a great way to start 2013! Looking forward to seeing it the next time we meet up. Regards, ED-209
Thanks Ed.
We should try and get together sometime soon, and we'll have to see if we can get your brother to take a bit of time out from traveling and join us! I missed seeing both of you at the year end GTG.
Very nice trio!
Congrat, the Deep Sea MM Is a black dive I still miss... Best Blomman
Hi Dean
I'm going to check with my local guy first. If he thinks he can get the finnish right I'll probably go with him. My primary motivation against sending it to JLC is knowing that it would be gone for a year (or more). I bought it because I want to wear it a...
Congrats
I've had a chance to handle a couple of these and it is a wonderful watch. I especially like it on the bracelet.
Thanks Ubik
I have to agree. While it looks great on a strap, I think it is fantastic on a bracelet.
