Jaeger-LeCoultre

I've been on the fence of which model should be my first JLC - there are so many great ones. At one point I thought I'd grow up a bit and get something a bit dressier after 20 years of wearing divers. But that didn't happen after I tried this one on...


A little box arrive with Fedex - out with a tactical blade to open.


There is no question what is inside once you are met with this historic and awe-inspiring logo.



The complete package (not sure if that NATO strap was a gift from my AD or if it should be included).


I'm dying to try it on but control myself to do a quick inspection of what is in the package.


Ready to go on the wrist for the first time!


The obligatory wrist-shot albeit from a strange angle (working from home so I could receive the package, wearing a fleece as it is a bit windy and nippy in the DC area today).
I guess I don't have to strain my eyes to tell time from now on!


I'll withhold judgement unitl I've spent a few weeks with the watch but initial impression are very favorable. I picked the rubber strap as I'm heading to the beach soon (leather and ti bracelet to arrive later). It is certainly one of the better rubber straps I've ever encountered - very thick, solid and comfortable. The width doesn't taper at all which give a very robust impression.

The legibility of the skeleton hands are very impressive. I think I'll be able to tell time from across the room with this watch!   The fact that the area around the lume is white as well makes the hand over-sized and clearly differentiate from the hour plots. Very functional and powerful. It gives great balance to the dial.

Overall I'm very happy and I'm looking forward to add this one to the stable of my daily wearers.

Cheers,

Patrick

For the next summer and the water activities...

Congrats, PSV. This NSA is certainly one of the most exciting Diving watches from JLC.

Have a lot of fun and pleasure with it.

All the best,

Nicolas.

If a bracelet is really available for this watch, I will be wearing such on my next dives! I really like the watch as a real diver's watch and the only problem IMO has been the lack of a bracelet.

I hope you will have an opportunity to scuba dive with your nice new watch.

Best, Kari

Leaving Saturday, I'll be in the waters before the afternoon is over!

and if possible, please post a couple of underwater photos with your watch.

Good diving! Kari

One is called 'articulated rubber' which is in matte black, the other one an all titanium bracelet with a beautiful lock - da' bomb!

Here is a bad photo (borrowed) of the ti bracelet. I'm so getting one of these.

another NSA lover..this thing has me drooling...

congrats

Nice Emerson you got there!  Congrats on a great choice, as they say wear it in the nest of health!  More pics please!

Those are some tempting photos of the NSA.  I really like the look of the rubber strap on this Diver.  So, you have been into diving watches for 20 years AND chose this JLC with all of that experience behind you.  I'd be interested to hear more on why this one, especially after you dive with it. 

The NSA is finally beginning to tug at my wrist...

That's an awesome Diver.

I am looking forward to hear your views of it in a few weeks.

Music is an important aspect of Striptease - what did you play whilst undressing her?
Congratulations on a fine watch.
Quite by coincidence I started wearing an NSA a week ago - a special offer from my AD that I could not refuse.
Now that I have it, I wonder why I did not seek it out sooner. Seems that destiny played a part in putting me in the right place at the right time.
Your initial comments on the rubber strap are encouraging.
I tend to prefer metal bracelets and the Ti bracelet is exceptionally well crafted and extends the craftsmanship and aesthetics of the case- I wonder if you will stay with the Ti once you have received it and fitted it...

I really am starting to love this watch and egret that I didn't get one.

Wear in good health.

Best regards,

George
