One word Nicolas, WOW!...
This is much appreciated my friend. Having my first JLC being the MCDC, I now truly value how far JLC has come in history of fine watches...I will have to agree with you on the European version being the top of the 2! It has a cleaner and more useful dial than the American version, IMHO. You darn Europeans are always more stylish than us Americanos... lol So how would I go about hunting one of these Vintage Divers down (the Euro version preferably)!?!?
Thanks for your education once again and wear your amazing piece(s) in great health...
Respectfuly,

REVIEW OF A VERY NICE VINTAGE JLC DIVING WATCH: THE DEEP SEA ALARM.
The Memovox Deep Sea Alarm: In 1959, the first Alarm Diving Watch was born, and it was given the name of Memovox Deep Sea, ref E 857 for Europe, and 8184 for the USA... Here, the European Model: And there, the American Version, the big difference being th...

Thank for show and share this wonderfull vintage, i really enjoyed the review
A question Nicolas...
...with all your vintage Diver's Memovox watches, have you had them pressure tested and if so, would you actually wear them in the swimming pool or sea?
Been waiting for your pics and not disappointed
thats a great example and I am sure you will love wearing it do you have any pics of the movement? Nick
In fact, I live with it since
Last July, now... I love it!!! You also own one, no? Here's a pic of the movement... imageshack .us"> src=" " border="0" alt="Image Hosted by "/> Best, my friend in watches! Nicolas ...
So much passion
dear friend so much passion thank you for sharing with us & you still owe us all together on red roof in Italy :0)))))))) BEts Damian
Great post again!
There is so much history in these fine timepieces and they have IMO withstood the test of time.They also seem to suit you very well,especially with the hairy arms, which maybe adds to their character and appeal. LOL I especially like the last pic. with th...
Impressive review..
..both your write up and all the pics (especially the boat in the last scan ) Amazing watch and here comes again the nice patina which always drive us crazy. Thanks for your nice post, beautifully done my friend. Cheers
Much appreciated, Krieng!
Yep, the patina is the common point with all these watches... Once you see that, it's difficlut to forget it... Panerai is wonderful, some other brands too, like these JLC, or the Pola. Best. Nicolas
Very nice watch,,,,,even better in the flesh :)
and funny that the engraved diver on the back.... ...is not wearing a diving watch,,,,,,, Cheers, Asi
Great Nicolas
Well, this is my first post into the forum Jaeger.... With photos and stories like these, I must admit that lately I go around the idea of having a Jaeger in my collection sooner than later, although perhaps have to wait because a Pam is about to fall ......
