Some fresh pictures from a friendly "Shark" -
.. Some of you here may have read my little January post, about the transformation
of my JLC Ref 2643/2 Chronograph, aka the " Shark"
( sometimes also been called the " Vogue", mainly in old catalogs)
by finding the correct ( NOS) World Time bezel for it.
Here is , if you 'd like to go back and get to know a bit more, also being chain- linked
to a very nice post of Nicolas about this Reference, which in essence belongs to the group
of (J)LC Diver Chronographs, despite a WT lunette, in one of the two variations
This second one having minute/ hour gradations , as expected for a standard Chrono :

I just thought, to share 3 quick weekend pics, also with the nice strap, I had found..
A truly balanced Chrono face & WT indications
The white on black - an attractive face
Strong character .. Solid presence - but nice on wrist
Hope you liked the result of the little metamorphosis..
Best to all & HAGWE !
