That I prefer the vintage.

But I do like this version very much. The chrono indicator is really cool, with a nice "diver down" touch when operating. I also like the rotating bezel.

Alas, having owned and enjoyed a plexi dialed 372 for many months now, I am big fan of the vintage patina and plexi crystal. I think the vintage Deep Sea chrono will age extremely well.

How about a few more live pics of the new SIHH 2012 '3 counter' Deep Sea Chronograph?

My preference, by far, is for the "3 counter" because: 1) I don't like "static" chronographs (the ones without running seconds). 2) The "2 counter" looks vintage but is not. One point that I dislike is a "Deep Sea" with only 100m resistance. Cheers, Nilo

Hi Nilo, I agree with you on your preferences. I have the same points about the aesthetics with the 2 counter versus the 3 counter. I think I found my next JLC! Regards, ED-209

I am more attracted by the DS Chrono Vintage, because of its sensuality.

But to each its own. The " 3 counters " has the advantage to be seen as a modern evolution of a mythic watch, the DSA. A technical offer, less sensual than the DSC Vintage, but more technical, and more coherent as a Diving watch. Each of them is really di...

Thanks Nicholas

Personally I'm not that big on 'vintage' so for me I like the more modern 3 counter chrono. But I'm looking forward to see both together before making up a final decision. Thanks for checking out this post. Regards, ED-209

That is the only way to make your mind, my friend. Keep us updated, please! [nt]
