Well.. there are different possibilities.. to miss a piece..

.. I guess, one scenario is as mentioned : the absence of a beloved
intensifies the love, and/ or brings to the surface, what we have known anyway..

Here a picture of this one, my very first JLC MMV, which I always miss, when
put away into the safe - just because it is linked to a special mood, of a begin,
of a true passion since..


My black beauty.. E 855 MMV.. Strong feelings


Then there is another one, where the loss , or almost loss, produced a certain pain
, even more felt, as it was a recent find, as we talk about tic-tacs..
Therefore, below some pics of this piece, at that time - during a trip - newly received and acquired,
together with enjoying other pieces; then celebrating hilariously with kind friends

- but suddenly - the next day - even on the way to the airport
realizing the mishap of having lost it - and not even remembering (!) ,
- When, where and how ?...

And then, frentic calls to the friends. - Finally, having accepted the agony of a "double loss",
as the initial find of that piece, was also connected to one very good friend,
who has had a role in the former acquisition

Then , finally the resolution, by finding it, after several hours or such when home:
apparently having slided into a hidden pouch of the trolly.. smile)

Here, without further ado, just the 3 pics of it, one of my favorite JLC Vintages,
actually my very first Chrono, as well, which I hold dearly, even more
- also as a near loss..

Also the details are nice

Apologies, for the long saga ;
let me just say.. even if the heart " bleeds",
there hopefully are remedies at hand to cope with it

Best, hs

While I was taking my JLC Navy SEALS Alarm out of the safe, I immediately had this Deep Sea Alarm in mind, as it is clearly one of the ancesters of the NSA. A Watch which is, with its sister, the European version, somewhere in Northern Europe for a well d...

that you will get them back! :-) I cannot exactly say that the temporary absence of one of my watches makes my heart bleed, but yes, I miss them also. I hope you will get them back soon! Best, Martin

Within a few months, I hope, before the holidays...

I fully understand and 'suffer' with you. I think the industry has got to get their act together with service times. There Rolex once again sets an example for the rest to follow. As to what makes my heart bleed. In the JLC family it is a deep sea alarm f...  

I sent t to another place than the JLC Manufacture, though.
