Hello dear O: agree with you. We share similar tastes here. All the watches you mention I love so much and some of them are also in my collection.
I also understand your wish to try a chrono UW.
We also share the fascination for Space exploration, and agree that Diver, GMT and Chrono makes for a wonderful basic trilogy in a collection.
It is true that the new Ed White is a very attractive option though pricey. The use of the new version of the 321 caliber makes for the high cost I was told due to the very low production of this movement. It is also a model which Omega wants to give it some exclusiveness status I feel.
The new version of Moonwatch recently launched with caliber 3861 manual co-axial is very attractive as well and at a more affordable price and two versions in steel. May be this is the best option for a first Speedy in my opinion.
Thank you for sharing your thoughts.
Best cordial regards, Abel.

Jaeger Lecoultre - Deep Sea Vintage Chronograph... Tribute to incongruity ?
A diver with a chrono, an incongruity or a lovely combination ? I really love divers and chronographs. Two différent worlds... Some chronographs are waterproof but did a diver with a chrono make sens ? To dive, surely not for many reasons, but to dream, t...
Yep.
And Yes I Know how much you like it Moreover it is thanks to the dinner we shared and during which we talked about it that I started looking for it again. It is also true that lately I had focused on Rolex, forgetting a little about my old loves .... But ...
A great watch!
I was looking at the 3 dial model with the red indicator but it was sadly outside of my price range, in a way the perfect gentleman diving watch
Awesome look
I had pleasure of trying this few years ago, love the warm plexi and subtly aged indices and clean bicompax look without date.

I hope this has enabled Dr Mamadou to have had a small é........tion. At his venerable age it is increasingly rare 😂😂😂
Thanks...
I have loved this model for years without having had the opportunity to get my hands on it or to put it on my wrist. It's a fact that I haven't (yet) caught the Black Dial Duometer ... but it's an offering to Dr Mamadou to bewitch some of their owners ......
Congrats 🎉🎉🎉
It's a very gorgeous iteration of the Deepsea lineup. thanks for those awesome pics
Hello Alfihar! Great review of a watch in my collection
That I love so much. You start your post asking: A diver with a chrono, an incongruity or a lovely combination ? I feel it is a lovely combination. It is a Tribute to a watch that never existed. A charming lovely timepiece. As a sport diver myself not the...
Oh yes, I will enjoy mine !
I started my post with the question: "A diver with a chrono, an incongruity or a lovely combination ?" because for most of divers, a chrono or the date are useless functions. It was only a form of provocation on my part (in the tone of humor) because I kn...
Thank you O so much for your reply.
Yes I played also in tone of humor with the word Tribute as I also own the Polaris and Deep Sea US tributes as well and though missed getting the EU version which I like so much I feel this chrono stays in the same family as per its design. I agree with y...
I think we are looking in the same direction and that we share some tastes in terms
I also own a Polaris 68, as well as two Tribute to Polaris (68 and 65 steel) that I love, not to mention that I will try to find the Tribute to Deep Sea (Waiting to see if interesting opportunities arise). While it is true that I understand your natural r...

Hi Abel. I didn’t dive yet in Omega’s world... one day perhaps I will. This year I will focus my hunt on JLC (Tt Deap Sea and Duometre and one other). Then I will see..
In addition, in France, it is difficult to get to a beautiful sunny beach because of travel restrictions, even if we have beautiful seaside ... I had to postpone a stay in Polynesia. Even the dive pit next to my house is closed due to a pandemic .... Have...
Hello dear O. I feel you are doing the right thing focusing your efforts in the hunt of the superb pieces you mention. I wish you will be able to accomplish your goals along this year.
Omega offers very interesting products in their catalog. Prices are reasonable for the high quality and something which I appreciate so much is they usually are available to be purchased at official prices once they are launched. Exception could be some v...
Hi Abel
Yes, Omega produce good watches at fairly competitive prices and most of their models are generally available (except the Ed White). Maybe a seamaster 300, a rail master and a speed will interest me one day... Considering the shortage of some models, I ca...
Hello dear O. Agree with your comments about Omega, and I feel the trilogy you mention is a very interesting approach to a basic collection of this brand.
About the comments about other brands I feel the collecting world has witnessed a very crazy raise in prices and shortage of stocks taking some brands/models to unreachable levels for the common watch lover. One of my beloved brands Rolex is a good exampl...
Thanks Dr. M
I think I can find a better one, but need time to search. This one is a Hirsch rubber strap that is quite fine. It was sold with the watch... It reinforces the diver character of the watch and is very comfortable I also have the original strap (not been c...
You better understand why I love this watch so much ;-)
Watches are sometimes beautiful but they become even more interesting when they relate to a story, big or small it doesn't matter.
I agree as I have already explain it but...
I like the design of this watch. Many elements link me to this model: diving, the chrono with a bicompax look, Jaeger LeCoultre ... Moreover the chance of life inadvertently made me cross this watch in an unusual place just before its launch. And finally ...
Have a nice day
I hope JLC brings us some cool stuff this year... In the meantime, I take full advantage of this chrono with a retro look which also confirms the beauty and the great balance of the bicompax. And finally, within ten/fifteen days, a little sister will join...
Ohh ohh ohh,
I could only watch your pictures because I’m in the company of my JLC Deepsea,but what a gorgeous one you have JLC madness will never stop I’m afraid!Enjoy your beauty !Mine says hi! ...
