Jaeger-LeCoultre

Ohhhhh, yes!! - Absolutely worth the wait:
--- Thank you so much again for efforts and the share !

- so much hope,so much desire ( luckily the reasonable LE- size of the (JLC TT DSA) Europe
might enhance the chance to get one
Thus, all to be said: much joy to be expected-
Also: great to keep the distinct characters of the ' sisters of the depth', IMO

And yes, I assume aficionado would like both;
for myself I still have the TT Reverso 1931 in the back of the head..
But what a nice companion duo for my TT 68 Polaris either of them would make

So, everybody juggling watch budgets around, I expect..

Thanks again , Nicolas.
What a nice Jan. 12, this is !!

Best,
HS

Ps:
Any ref numbers known yet ??
- maybe too early ?

As for the ref numbers, the press file only gives one, I will have the other soon, but I guess that the name of the watch is enbough to place an orfer safely.

Yes, you piut it very nicely, it is all about joy, happyness and excitation!

Best, my friend.

Nicolas

Thank you so much !!
- it is all engrammed into my desire pattern already ! - Big YEESS, Sir !

- So I'll start for me with the TT DSA 59 -US ( Americaine ?)
- is that the name, one can safely place an order, with the JLC boutique until the Ref Nr gets known ?
- took the liberty to PM you, Niolas, as kindly offerered for some logistical details and possible help.
- despite all the very busy times of yours, at present, with the SIHH ' ante portas', thanks also..

But then - the EU sister ? -- well I guess, might have to let recover my watch budget a bit, before trying for
the second mermaid of the . Hopefully the somewhat bigger LE then will allow me to ' double-up' at a later time.

- But what if I miss the European Version ? - Also its elegance and some sporty and puristic happiness..

So, you see, our/ my passion is in full blossoming, already,
Although only few ' cognoscenti' have seen in the metal yet; hence your perfect pics and the post .

Yes, magic again !

Thanks, for this Great Tribute DSA project again !

Can't wait to order ..
( Apparently it can be done already at this stage, as I depict from several posts).

Hopefully it will also work out for me again..
( my TTP 68 rattling softly in the box..)

Very Best,
HS

PS:
Another community watch ? - I can imagine vividly !,
- just look at the length of that post-thread and the enthusiastic comments
( not to speak about all those who have ordered already - without having seen it in flesh,
but apparently felt the passion & desire -- THAT is excitement & joyful antecipation !!

This is great news!

Happy to know that one of these mermaids will find a nice home.

As for the TT DSA Europe, the problem is that once you get the US, you will start to think to get the European sister...

Believe me, I know very well this phenomenon.



The enthusiasm on the DSA is amazing.

It seems to be even stronger than for the TTP, which was, yet, considerable.

959 pieces is an important number, for a LE, yes, but the enthusiasm is here, on both versions.

So, they may go fast.

I am amazed, surprised, and to say all, moved.

Best, my friend.

- be allowed:
Thanks again for these nice words, your assistance and your ever
encouraging attitude, for the expert & novice alike,
when sharing passion such as for these 'goddesses' .

Yes, it will be a joy, once one of these mermaids of the depth will set foot in my home,
- it has been you and others who contribute to happiness but also encourage bonding among this community.

Occasions such as these in fact are the emotional glue and magic touch that make collecting such a pleasure.
The kind friendship, which is exercised can also be estimated by the sheer length following this outstanding post

- the voices resonate some sort of a reward for a project like this.
Thus, you, your friends and the JLC team are complimented already now, to what I am pretty sure, will be a great success, from the piece, but also the emotions connected..

)

Hence, this Tribute to DSA is also a Tribute to you and all the group !
- From a personal ( humble) perspective I will be proud to be part of that spirit
( and glad that In some months, this piece will be ashore, also for me)

- yes, and the DSA Europe - we'll see: brain says "think twice", heart says "when" -
You said it : Deja vu ..



Not a short note, this has been, but simply wanted to express it with grateful happiness.

Salute to you, have a great weekend and

Good, and as I am sure, filled day(s)
at SIHH,

Very best , indeed
HS

I LOVE THAT CONCEPT!

With the Ying Yang above expressed by Neil, this is my favourite expression!

This is exactly that.

How to go from a fine watch to a GREAT watch, this is the way to follow: the Tribute to the group, to THIS amazing group of friends.

When watches are more than watches...

As for the Déjà vu, I know what you mean, absolutely.

YES, IF, WHEN are common words for us, watch nuts.

All the best, hs.

Nicolas.

Worth the wait, thanks for sharing. I definitely lean towards the Euro version; but I doubt my budget will permit my desire...

But if you did, then this news was certainly enough, thx Nicolas.

Thank you so much for taking the time to share your thoughts and pictures with us.  JLC has really done the originals justice, and my only regret is that I lack sufficient funds to purchase the DSA American as well as the three other pieces that have already lined up in the queue (Aegir CD-2 LE, AP ROO Diver and 1931 Tribute to Reverso).

Where's a rich uncle when you need him?

Regards,
Adam

But I agree with you, the damn rich uncle is never here when he's badly needed.

Best,

Nicolas.

this one simply is irresistible. American, or European, hmmmm. Can't wait to see it in person next week.

Thanks for the spectacular post,

Cheers

Guille

You go to Geneva?

May be the opportuinity to finally meet.

Best,

Nicolas.

Looking forward to finally meeting you

Whaou ...
Fantastic post Nico !

A new piece of legend !

and its 8AM and I have a call into Seth at BHB...

I missed the Polaris and I ain't about to miss this...

man...just not sure which one..the US or European...the latter seems to be more Polaris like...

ARGGHHHHH!

great reporting..thank you..brings a smile to my face!

THANK YOU...love Xmas come late...

To not be madly in love with any watch...

I know, this is a weird philosophy, but what would be life without passion?

You won't go wrong with any of them, ocwatching, so relax!

Best,

Nicolas.

SIHH 2011 looks like an interesting year for JLC. First of all, the 1931 Reverso looks interesting. Now this 1959 DSA looks very interesting too.

Again, the big difficult question is, which one will be the one I would want? The US Dial version or the European Dial version.

That was the same problem with the TTP 65 and 68.

But as saoid above, having this kind of dilemma is better than to not have it.

A delicious torture.

Best, Patrick.

Nicolas.

... WOW...WOW... in addition to Revero 1931... this is really surprising me again... MJLC does not disappoint us this year.

now... my shopping list will be Reverso 1931 and DSA!

can't wait to see the flesh and try them on wrist and also place the order as well

stefan

My guess is that you will fall for them...

Let us know, Stefan.

Best,

Nicolas.

it's so nice to get such a pleasant surprise like this...!!!

There could have been a sound file but obviously we were talking about the reverso minute repeater to be revealed soon.

It is a very faithful reproduction...even down to the faults in the original which is actually a nice touch.  Superb report as usual but it will take a while to digest all of it.

Nico you are number 1..!!

Yours my friend,

Andy.

Same movement, same sound.

The only thing which can differ is that the case of the TT DSA is a bit smaller than the TTP.

Will it have a consequence on the sound of the Alarm?

We'll see, but I doubt it will be an important difference, maybe in the volume?

Best, Andy, and thanks for your nice words.

Nicolas.

JLC did a great job on these Deep Sea Alarm watches..

I love the fact that it is almost exactly the same with the original version..

And I totally agree that some imperfections on the design/functionality give these two watch a special kind of charm...

Thank you for your fantastic writeup Nicolas! I see so much passion here....

Can't wait to see one in metal...


Best,


Sam

Great info and pics. Thanks!
