You vhave so bloody many diving watches
that you should START DIVING! I could organise you a nice instructor. I know a really good Thai Girl... Best, Kari
Nico, Nico...
I am nearly 80 but still I like chicks (sorry, Dive Instructors) who are below 30. Thailand is one of the nicest diving destinations on earth. Something easy, something demanding. Beautiful sea, lots of sunshine. Good food followed by a good thai massage....
Nicolas I would seriously think of following Dr. Kol's advice
if I were you. Of course under the supservision of your wife that is. Best regards, George
c'est quoi ca?
Where did that diver come from? You really have a bag of tricks (or maybe you are just really clever with Photoshop and none of these watches really exist?). I do like that watch, the retro font, the mixture of colors, and the funky second hand. I don't k...
No, this watch clearly exists.
I have prepared something about this one, to be posted just after the SIHH novelties. You will know all about it, no problems. 5 more days to wait! Best, Nicolas.
The 4 Amigos. Cool Family picture, Clavi.
Now, you just miss a Polaris II, a MM Dolfin and a Chrono Shark, to end the thema. Best, Nicolas.
Too much of...
....a design mish-mash - wierd fonts on the bezel, the ugly minute hand, the hand's green lume contrasted with the white on the dial, the stoplight second hand... . Compare it to the likes of that Dolphin, which is just clean and strong. That said, any mo...
The other pictures will come later, Ben.
I agree that this is a not a Beauty Prize, but it has its interest, in a Vintage JLC Collection, and it is a funny one to wear. Did you notice the minute hand shape, which clearly inspired the Design Team when thinking about the NSA? Best, my friend. Nico...
Not so sure...
...I just played with my first NSA today (my sister is getting herself a Reverso for her 40th, so she played with those, while I played with the NSA and an Ultrathin...). The watch is way too tall for me. I don't mind large diameter cases - after all I wa...
It was an ' in house " solution ".
The NSA, as any other watch, cannot be everyone's taste. Funny that you mention the proportions, as I had this debate with some friends of mine. Some want smaller and thinner watches, others want bigger and thicker, everyone has his own preferrence, obvio...
I like it...
...enough to have tried it on my wrist. At which point, I knew the strap/lugs didn't work for my wrist. The crowns also dig in a little far. The reason I don't like the height is that as a Diver it is supposed to contend with all the straps, shackles, cli...
The Wrist Test is the moment of Truth, clearly.
It sings or it doesn't, there is nothing to do against that... As for the Dolphin, I see what you mean, yet I'm not sure there is not a place for such a watch in the JLC collection. It was made in a short batch, it is not the most spectacular one, yes, bu...
The Dolphin...
..I sincerely believe there is a place for such a watch. I just hope if it is recreated, it it done faithfully.
Me too, Ben.
Would really like to see all of the Vintage JLC Diving watches re issued, in a way or another. The Dolfin is the " Less is more " Diving watch. I love its simplicity, its rugged yet elegant look. Its size? Make it bigger, et voilà! Best, Nicolas.
Very cool
but doesn't it have a name? Don't tell me that JLC just called it "Diving watch from the 70ies". Best regards, George
Its got great dial proportions….
I love the daringness of watch designers in the past. I say bring all the oldies back. Cool Nicolas Drew
When the SIHH is over, I will post some psychedelic posts, ...
Turning around this idea... Best, Drew. Nicolas.
speak to me?...
... thanks for introducing this pretty lady to me... she speaks to me... i speak to her too...LOL actually, the dial looks very unusual which does not look like other classical JLC diver watches! today.. i was wearing my Seiko diver... coincidently... bot...
Well, each Vintage JLC Diving watch has its own soul ( dial )
The DSA looks like any other JLC Diving watch, as well as tyhe Polaris I or II, or the MM Deep Sea, the MM Dolphin, etc... Yes, you're absolutely correct, the Jaeger " 20 ATM" shares the same second hand with the Seiko. As some shared the case, too. Best,...
LOL, When i first saw it, I thought fake!!
but its certainly got "charm".... funky,,,grooooooooooooooooooovy baby, grrrrrrrrrrrrrrr LOLOLOL Imran
Family pic...
Nico, now you need to give us the JLC Diver famly picture...you're still missing one but it is already a very comrehensive family...Matt
JLC Family picture...
Here you are: Yes, I still miss one, but hey... One day, with a bit of luck? Best, Matt. Nicolas....
I'm wondering if I will not also hunt a Polaris II Blue, and another one with ...
The Red Dial. + the Polaris 65, I will end in beauty... Best, Nicolas.
love this pic..
... owesome family pic... love these fantastic 8... hope the number 9 is coming to home soon. one simple question, when arranging these loved watches in a pic, did you arrange them in terms of importance, or years of production, or degree of your love to ...
No particular reason, here...
They all just had to come into the frame... Which is the reason why I don't like family pics, or better, they are too difficlut to take in pics. Best, Stefan. Nicolas.
