Utility wasn't always a JLC Characteristic, as you know, Clavi

If we take for example the Deep Sea Alarm which was presented as a Diving Watch, in 1959...

It came without a turning bezel...which is a bit special for a Diving watch.

So, it is part of the JLC History, don't you think?

So, the reason of th utility is a bit limited.

Then, not seeing it in the flesh, but only in the catalogue is not an evidence that the watch didn't exist.

It may have also existed in a few pieces.

That's part of the JLC Mystery...

Well, I will have to check my eyes, as I still see empty dots on the scans I have.

Best, my friend.

Definitely a lot of fun and more beauty in this watch than I ever thought from the pics

Congrats for a nice watch. Do you plan to have the inner scale 'circle' marks filled with luminova in the future ? That is the only thing which differs from the original watch, and - although a minor point - I think it is a pitty the re-edition does not s...

Once again, Clavi, we have a different opinion

When you look at the '65 catalogue, you will see that the dots are empty. The version you show in your pics comes only with " Automatic " at 6 while the one on the '65 catalogue comes with " Automatic Alarm Calendar " and empty dots: There were several co...

Empty dots...

Personally, I like the empty dots, they are an unusual feature. As for this being or not being 100% historically correct, I care little. Is this a fine looking watch - yes. Is anybody likely to dive in this watch - probably not. Once again it is aesthetic...

Agree, David

Different opinions... and different eyes too :-)

I know you take this catalog scan as an official justification of the 'empty dots', and I know the re-edition has been made partly based on this scan. However: - looking at this very scan, I don't see the dots 'empty' at all. They just look normally fille...
