Jaeger Lecoultre Deep Sea Alarm E 857 Europe.
Two pictures I like a lot, showing the dial in all its beauty.
Love the minimalist writing on the dial. Very pure, class and elegant. Add the charm of the chocolate outer dial, and you have a winner.
Best,

A very beautiful JLC indeed! Its amazing how important the years from 1955-1969 were for the design of wristwatches.
I would love to buy a very good tropic diver strap, like the one shown. What brand is it?
Hi!
I don’t know where Nico’s strap from, thinking how he is probably an original from the era?
I saw some tropical straps in Atelier Romane, however I never bought anything from them so can not vouch for the quality etc.

I found some new old stock ones, some 18 years ago... I kept 25 of them for my watches. ;)
Yes, because they were affordable... Nowadays, it would be too much money for such a quantity.
I'm looking for a good one for quite some time. The modern ones dont feel that rough and pronounced anymore.
Phenomenal shot as always from you!
This watch is another placative example why vintage always beats modern. This attractive patina can't be replicated or remade. It just has to "happen" by itself as time goes by, like grape juice becoming a fine wine after many years.
I am not usually attracted to dive watch, but in this case … I would make an exception 🤣🤪
