Vintage Girard-Perregaux and Jaeger-LeCoultre divers using the same case manufacture
Friends, If you are a fan of vintage divers watches… And the hatch pattern on a crown puts a smile on your face… Or even better - if the crown bears the GP sign! Then you are probably like me… I love Super-Compressor case watches! Many have probably heard...
Excellent post, my friend. Both had to be compared, indeed.
The JLC Deep Sea is even older, as the first ones came in 1967: Please don't forget to bring the GP with you. I am very impatient to discover it in the flesh. I already love it! Best, Nicolas ...
Yes, the Deep Sea came before the Deep Diver...
1967 was the year of the Deep Sea release? Mine is from March 1969 and the Deep Diver from February 1970, so less than one year in between the production of these two cases! Yes, will bring it - one to hunt for sure, my friend! Best Blomman
It seems so, when you refer to the year in the case back. I never saw one with a date
Earlier than this one. Yes, I saw some laters one. Best, Nicolas
Maybe not the last batch....
The Deep Sea were still in the catalog in 1971: Best Blomman ...
The funky 70ies Diver is really growing on me
I need to find me one soon(ish). Thanks for the comparison report and photos, fantastic as always. CC
Better sooner than later....
This is one the Vlad will fight you for! Thank you, my friend. Best Blomman
