Jaeger-LeCoultre

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...  

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 ...

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...  

No pics of the Geophysic? It would be worth inclouding this document in our reference section, my friend. Best, Nicolas.

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

Replaced by the Geomatic. Best, Nicolas.

I have no damn idea of th year of your document... Best, Nicolas.

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

No hint on the cover, or on any other part of the document? I'm really intrigued. Best, Nicolas.

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

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, 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

But it’s always a gamble… Good in photo doesn’t always mean good IRL… Thank you, Ruckdee! Best Blomman

I'm also enthusiastic to see the TT DSA in metal... Cheers! Sam

Thank you, Sam! Best Blomman

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

I am sure that I would regret if not catching one of these! Thank you, Vte! Best Blomman

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. ... 

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

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...  

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

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 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

YES, another of your nice ones ! !- THANK you Pleasant read, nicely described but specifically nicely felt, IMHO !! - Those catalogs/ lists you came up with, mingled with the pics ( also in between the great shots from Nico, rafak et al & your own) - quit... 

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 ... 

Well deserved, whne it comes to the TT DSA. Best, Nicolas.
