Bravo JLC - finally the Diver range! A couple of notes>>
Cou cou Jerome, merci beaucoup - fab report great pics!
I note that you mention that the bezel will have 120 clicks per rev. The prototype sample I tried I am sure was 60 per rev. Will 120 be the case for all versions, not just the Geo?
I totally agree with your comment on size. The 44mm wear much smaller than Compressor Memovox. Unfortunately I did not get to try the Geo version as it was not available in London. Do you think the 46mm feels equally 'smaller'?

I don't believe blue is the last colour visible, data I've seen from Googling is saying violet. And that agrees with my notion of the absorption corresponding to wavelength, i.e. the last colour of the rainbow wins. Is it about colour though? I'm not so s...
The blue highlights on these watches are luminescent,
...so a dark environment at depth would in fact improve contrast, not hinder it. The colours at the shorter end of the wavelength spectrum should really penetrate less well through water, not better - due to a phenomenon known as Mies scattering. I'm not ...
Women have more than Men....no?
Tony, I believe that women have 4 types of cone cells whereas men have only 3 types. Is this correct? So, how does a light blue dial colour work for female divers; if there were such things? Do they just divide the spectrum into 4 sections equally or do t...
