He, he…
Watch out for Vlad – he always tries to lure you in…
But in this case I have to agree with Mr. 666…
How can you choose between the two?!
Heart and mind say go for both!
Maybe with some adjustments in the wallet…
It’s possible..?
Me, I have adjusted my diet to be able…

My personal thoughts about the TT Deep Sea Alarm
Guys, the long wait has begun… It’s that time of the year again, we have read about the news from SIHH and Basel is just around the corner... We dream about the new watches that was presented at SIHH and waiting for a chance to see them in the metal. Sadl...
A lot to say, Blomman.
First of all, huge thanks for posting this extract from the JLC Catalog, featuring a JLC Deep Sea Alarm... It is the very first time I see it, and didn't even know about its existence! Back to the TT DSAs, I think nobody will complain about the fact that ...
I knew you would like the document, Nicolas! :)
The extra mm doesn’t ruin..? If you think so – I will definitely will love these watches, since I know you are “more picky” about this kind of things then I am… Thank you, my friend all the input and effort on this watch! BTW, I think you will like the ot...
Mine!
No pics of the Geophysic? It would be worth inclouding this document in our reference section, my friend. Best, Nicolas.
Sorry, no Geophysic…
Indeed it belongs to the Ref section. I haven’t had time to scan the whole document yet… Still working on my 50ties catalogues. But I will… Also working on my Ref Memo photos… A lot of projects going on right now! Best, my friend Blomman
If no Geophysic, maybe we can date the document from year 1961? [nt]

The last year of production for the Geophysic ...
Replaced by the Geomatic. Best, Nicolas.
Correction... The Geophysic in featured in the 1961 Catalog.
I have no damn idea of th year of your document... Best, Nicolas.
So...
Geophysic in the 1961 catalouge and last year of DSA was 1962. But some of my catalouges doesn't show all watches of that year. Like 1968 don't show Polaris... ?? Best Blomman
I know. It is a bit messy.
No hint on the cover, or on any other part of the document? I'm really intrigued. Best, Nicolas.
Believe me – I have looked!
But maybe you might find out from the pricelist. I don’t know enough but maybe you can find a clue considering which watches that are featured in the list… See the main post…! Best Blomman
Actually, there is a clue in the price list.
NF, which means Nouveau Franc. If I remember well, the NF replaced the Franc ( money ), in 1960. So, this dicument came somewhere between 1960 and 1962. It is not a big deal, but let's try to see if we see something else. Best, Nicolas.
I admire your enthusiasm, openness to evolution and respect for the past.
I, too, am rather particular when it comes to a watch being 2 mm too big or too small. I think it is a right you have so you can worry less about that. Enjoyed the comparison shots. Thank you. Ruckdee
I love all the photos I have seen so far…
But it’s always a gamble… Good in photo doesn’t always mean good IRL… Thank you, Ruckdee! Best Blomman
Really nicely written...
I'm also enthusiastic to see the TT DSA in metal... Cheers! Sam
Nice post. Nicer watches.
Let's wait to have them out for sale. One thing it's for sure, those who may pass the first chance, will regret. Thinking about it. If I don't, hope not to regret. Thanks. Vte
Yes, they look really nice! :)
I am sure that I would regret if not catching one of these! Thank you, Vte! Best Blomman
Thanks for posting
Blomman Great source of information and, as a side note, I'm glad that this watch is more on, (my size), normal size. The only point that I'm not 100% convinced is the use of a plastic crystal. I'm very clumsy and I hate when I scratch a plastic crystal. ...
With a sexy plexy like that you will not be clumsy…
I promises! For me it’s such a pleasure when I wear plexy like that..! Makes me all warm inside! Thank you, Nilo! Best Blomman
Thanks for posting the catalogue info on the DSA!
Wow, always love a history lesson! I think you will be pleasantly surprised to see the DSA in person as I was recently at the BHB. WOW! Being a PAM lover, I have to say that the size is perfect! The lines of the piece has been kept intact while updating i...
My pleasure, OC!
And thank you for the photos! Now I long for the watch even more! LeCoultre? Yes, that is a great choice! Was wearing my vintage LeCoultre to day! Thank you, OC! Best Blomman
Great post Blomman
I always love reading your posts, they are so full of interesting information. I too cannot waite to see the final DSA in the flesh, I have seen the protos with you know who. Best regards, George
You are one step ahead of my, George!
You have seen the protos… And I guess in the best of company for that! Thank you, my friend for your always so kind words! Best Blomman

Community watch?!
Yes, like the TT Polaris! I think that when JLC releases such a watch like this – it’s hard for people like us to stay away… Thank you for your very enthusiastic and kind words, HS! Happy you liked the document, couldn’t believe my luck when I found this ...
Community watch... This is a concept I love a lot...

Well, let's state it in another way...
Some SCIENTIFIC studies proved that frustration and anxiety are some serious factors of Heart Attack. So, now, what does your heart say to your walled and to your head, eeeh? No, no, no need to thank me. Best, Nicolas.
Touché !! - How true..
.. Right you are - (Almost) ready to surrender ! ) Heart to head (& wallet) - SMILE ! -- That's good for your health, - How nice & human to find a rationale for decisions, the soul wants to happen. I WILL thank you for helping to provide & enlighten to us...
He, he…
Watch out for Vlad – he always tries to lure you in… But in this case I have to agree with Mr. 666… How can you choose between the two?! Heart and mind say go for both! Maybe with some adjustments in the wallet… It’s possible..? Me, I have adjusted my die...

You like “Bumpy roads”? :)
Well I think the road (or journey) to a watch is a part of the fun and how much you will appreciate a watch! Easy come, easy go? Hard to get, great appreciation! Thank you, HS! Best Blomman
if "Bumpy" turns into "Avenue ou Boulevard" in the end.. :))
Then YES -- as you know , better than myself already ! - Your "Bumpy road" ( the one you posted) had such a nice ending, one can only hope for. But as said, and felt on multiple occasions: "Our Journey is the Reward", almost as much as the final destinati...
Yes, this watch must be…
Yes, this watch must be right up your (and my) ally?! Thank you, Matt! Hopefully wee will have a chance to see it soon! Best Blomman
