Incoming! JLC
My new Jaeger LeCoultre Compressor Diving Navy Seals Limited Edition!
Wow, this watch does have awesome presence!!! I wanted to get something else than Rolex this time, and this is a really nice watch! OOooozes quality, craftsmanship. Dare I say, perhaps more than Rolex? Well, Pics are surely more interesting than me blabbing...

Very nice, that and the BP FF are the only two divers I'd take over a sub in that segment, and there's no dancing around it, this is a better watch than a Submariner ceramic.
I love the twist to lock compressor system too, most finger friendly screw-down replacement ever.

Huge congrats Andreas, that's one awesome beast. I love it.
How do you feel wearing something different? The JLC is def a different ball game, that's for sure. |

Well perhaps I'm not a JLC expert but I never thought they'd release a model like this! Needless to say it's quite different from their fancy dress watches!
Congratulations! It's beautiful! |

Thank you guys!
I really enjoy the size too! 42mm is perfect for this watch, strange, as I don't think the Submariner would be "perfect" at 42mm, the Sub is definitely perfect at 40mm. Enjoying Lisbon at the moment. Have both my Nexpy2 and this one with me... BUT the JLC has gotten way more wrist time.

Good stuff Andreas. Can't remember if the JLC MC Diver is 42mm watch.....?!?
Is the Navy Seal the same size as the Diving Chrono? |

To be honest with you Andreas... I can't remember....
It was such a blur experience for me... Maybe I should take the MC DC out for a walk sometime during the week Can't remember the diameter, but I know the lug is 22mm |
