A very nice Vintage Diving Watch: The Master Mariner Dolphin or Voguematic.
You all know at least one or two Vintage JLC Diving watches, such as The Polaris, the Deep Sea, and the Chronograph. But did you know that JLC also released a Vintage Diving watch for Ladies? Here you are. As for some other watches from " La Grande Maison...
This indeed is a rarely seen Ref.. And with some bullish charme..And as you pointed out..
.. all the ingredients to make it a valid member of the (J)LC Diver family. Somehow I always mix it up with another Ref, which has a red lollipop-type seconds hand, and some common DNA ( Master Mariner ?)... - Darn, can't remember any more ! .. 2 Interest...
The only Chrono Shark inserts I know are thse ones.

WOW !.. Is that complete set yours ?.. Thanks for the informations, indeed..
.. exactly as your set shows and you wrote, is shown in the ad, and mentioned there ; - Minutes (60) - Hours (12) - Worldtime : the one we both share.. Thanks for the share , a very nice set !! Best, for your Sunday evening ! hs PS: Am sure , your daughte...
Nah, it belongs to the author of the picture.
Note that I would love to see the two other inserts! ;) Best, Nicolas
Thank you for this detailed review, Nicolas!
Great reading! :) This watch happens to be on the top of Juniors wish list... But I suspect that his real intentions is that he wants the bigger brother...! ;) More serious, I suspect your right regarding this to be a more generic watch. I have seen sever...
Yes, my friend. I suspect you are suspecting right. ;)
Superb " Father and Son " pictures! All the best, Nicolas.
Thank you, my friend! :)
Yes, the little guy has really got taste for divers watches now.... This will be troublesome in the future...! ;) Best Blomman
There are a lot I still don't have....
Example, I have not one JLC/LC chronograph! A gap I will have to fill one day... :) Best, my friend Blomman
Your little cute baby seems to have a great good taste dear Blomman!...
... it seems that these things are part of our DNA and develop at an early age! Fantastic photographs!! Enjoy your son and your watches my friend!! Very cordially, Abel.
Thank you, dear Abel!
Yes, it is a wonderful experience to become a father! :) I hope that when he grow up, I have not scared him away from watches.... Best, my friend Blomman
if it would be possible to a fay ...
... to have one wish free, it will be: make the diameter bigger size! Also than in the current collection it could have it's place. Many thanks for giving us such a complexe, laborious presentation, without knowledge about feedback for such a rare exotic....
I would have loved to se a 37 mm like this one!
But it didn't exist.... A modern iteration? Not sure that JLC wants to revisit a Watch which used an outsourced movement.... Best, Nicolas
quick but pungent
i am in love in mad love however your comment on not seeing JLC revisiting it due to the fact that its an out sourced movement? my prayers now are pointed towards a revisit. Thanks for the eye opener . Faisal
Thanks, Faisal. Yes, there are almost no chances we see it revisited.
But like you, I would love to see something in this spirit! The NS Auto was a first approach. But we can go farther! Best, Nicolas.
Thanks for the great writeup Nicolas! Very charming piece, and the condition
of your example is impressive! Domed plexi really has a way of casting a spell...
I just have to say...
I LOVE the interchangeable bezels (if they're secure and you can change them yourself). I wish I could pop a world-time bezel on my Navy Seals! -Dean
Fantastic little diver my friend!! Would look great on your daughter´s collection!!...
... can´t think of a better option for the young lady! So nice watch! Thanks for sharing all this info about a little known JLC! Un abrazo mi amigo! Afectuosamente, Abel.
Ooh!!.....now that is a very good looking diver!,...
Ok, it may not be the usual size, but it is truly very good looking!!! Cheers Tony
