The Return of my 2 Deep Sea Alarm, Lecoultre and Jaeger Lecoultre.
By: amanico : April 17th, 2015-00:01
Well, almost, because I have to give the US Deep Sea Alarm back to a watchmaker, as the movement broke after a small incident during our GTG... But this time, it won't last 2 years.. At least I hope so... Anyway, these 2 pearls are back, with a full movem...

the workmanship looks excellent. But then again, they are just great designs to begin with. I look forward to the return so we can have side by sides. Best Joe

I'm glad to see that you were able to fix the EU hands. Now you own a pic of the four objects of desire: the two DSA and the two Polaris. Cheers, Nilo

... knowing how much you missed these beauties in your collection. I regret though one of them needs to go back to the watchmaker. I wish it will requiere much less waiting to fix the new problem. These are marvellous pieces and the scarce production make...

May the Tabletop Wanderer soon return to its brothers, and in full health! Congratulations on the restoration of TWO rare classics. A DEEPly SEArious Ano Nuevo
These watches belong with you, for sure.

I still feel for you, and the horrible experience you went through. It can be terrible world; we all know this. For us PuristS, our watches are not just material things, they are companions. A big part of daily life. And they are part of the beauty of our...
Terrific pieces
By: vitalsigns : April 17th, 2015-09:42
Terrific pieces. Thank you for the nice exposition. They appeared in such great condition in the "before" pictures that I'm surprised you had them reconditioned; although in the "after" pictures, they are spotless and have retained their vintage charm. Wh...
Some things to improve, as cleaning the dials, changing plexies for correct ones...

Refreshing, lightly, the case, working a bit on the inserts, chaging luminova for tritium, and, of course, servicing the movements which really needed it! Thanks for your comments, John. Best, Nicolas
You have such a great collection

Thank you, mon ami.

Finding the original Deep Sea Alarm US is quite challenging, but it is almost impossible to find the Europe. Still, there are some cool vintage diving JLCs, such as the Shark and the Master Mariner Deep Sea. Not too hard to find, and not too expensive, ei...
I am completely in love
By: Le Monde Edmond : April 20th, 2015-02:52
.......with your US DSA. The grey faded bezel insert. The dial and hands. Nicolas Nicolas. What can I do to be the next custodian. Hahaha. I just have a question: how can a movement break during a GTGF? This is a strange story-one that I want to hear abou...
The watch fell from the table. :(((
By: amanico : April 20th, 2015-02:55
Yes, we have different opinions on the Polaris 65... The 68 is a powerful Watch, the 65 is a mroe subtle one. Best, Edmond. Nicolas
