A watch which has left my collection because it didn't have much wrist time, but it doesn't mean that I didn't or don't like it.

In terms of alarms, the Polarises and Deep See Alarms are those which receive most wrist time.

Though, this sterile dial was something!

I took some pictures before letting it go in a superb and friendly home.

Here are a couple.

It is in the end that I realized that the original strap was the best combination for that watch, for once!

Best,

Nicolas

Key Points from the Discussion

The Jaeger-LeCoultre Navy SEALs Alarm is considered a gorgeous watch, with its original strap being the best combination for comfort and aesthetics, though titanium and articulated rubber bracelets are also highly regarded.
The Navy SEALs series, especially the Alarm, was a significant success for JLC, enhancing its credibility as a sports watch line, partly due to field testing by Navy SEALs themselves.
The Navy SEALs Alarm and Extreme Lab 2 are often cited as favorite JLC sports watches, praised for their functionality, practicality, and comfort on articulated rubber and titanium bracelets.
Watches are best enjoyed on the wrist to make real sense, and it's understood that not every liked watch needs to be owned, reflecting a mature collector's perspective.
The launch of the Navy SEALs Alarm was a highly anticipated event, marking a period when JLC produced interesting watches in terms of design and technical merits.
The articulated rubber bracelet for the Navy SEALs Alarm is highly durable, with one owner reporting it still going strong after approximately nine years of ownership.

along with my Extreme Lab 2, they are my favorite sports watches from JLC 😁👍 I like the straps but prefer it on the articulated rubber and titanium bracelet which I find uber comfortable.

Realizing that we dont have to own every watch we like and in some cases love. I think, watches are best enjoyed on the wrist, to make real sense. - For me, anyway. I remember we went to the launch of this watch together at the JLC boutique in Place Vendome, many years ago. (first time we met?) It was a higly anticipated piece and JLC where sending out some of the most interesting watches in terms of designs and technical merits those years. I think we where both very impressed that day.

The king for me tends to be the FF, on all accounts. From within the big crown, any 40mm SD is above the Sub. Eh well, this is why we call them tastes😊 the essence of our crazy hobby😊
