You all know at least one or two Vintage JLC Diving watches, such as The Polaris, the Deep Sea, and the Chronograph. But did you know that JLC also released a Vintage Diving watch for Ladies? Here you are. As for some other watches from " La Grande Maison...  

This indeed is a rarely seen Ref.. And with some bullish charme..And as you pointed out..

.. all the ingredients to make it a valid member of the (J)LC Diver family. Somehow I always mix it up with another Ref, which has a red lollipop-type seconds hand, and some common DNA ( Master Mariner ?)... - Darn, can't remember any more ! .. 2 Interest... 

The only Chrono Shark inserts I know are thse ones.

Great reading! :) This watch happens to be on the top of Juniors wish list... But I suspect that his real intentions is that he wants the bigger brother...! ;) More serious, I suspect your right regarding this to be a more generic watch. I have seen sever...

... to have one wish free, it will be: make the diameter bigger size! Also than in the current collection it could have it's place. Many thanks for giving us such a complexe, laborious presentation, without knowledge about feedback for such a rare exotic.... 

I would have loved to se a 37 mm like this one!

But it didn't exist.... A modern iteration? Not sure that JLC wants to revisit a Watch which used an outsourced movement.... Best, Nicolas

quick but pungent

i am in love in mad love however your comment on not seeing JLC revisiting it due to the fact that its an out sourced movement? my prayers now are pointed towards a revisit. Thanks for the eye opener . Faisal

Thanks, Faisal. Yes, there are almost no chances we see it revisited.

But like you, I would love to see something in this spirit! The NS Auto was a first approach. But we can go farther! Best, Nicolas.

Thanks for the great writeup Nicolas! Very charming piece, and the condition

of your example is impressive! Domed plexi really has a way of casting a spell...

I just have to say...

I LOVE the interchangeable bezels (if they're secure and you can change them yourself). I wish I could pop a world-time bezel on my Navy Seals! -Dean

Fantastic little diver my friend!! Would look great on your daughter´s collection!!...
