I remember
when this auction happened, I surmised the high bidder was prepared to donated the $365,000 no matter what, and as a thanks he got a free watch!!! If this is the case, what the watch is worth or how it looks is really secondary to the cause and to the generosity of the top bidder. In this regard I am a huge fan of the red dial version!
Thanks Nico for the reminder... I had forgotten all about it.
Jaeger Lecoultre Tribute to Deep Sea Alarm: The Trinity.
You all know the Tributes to Deep Sea Alarm US and the European version. But you may have forgotten- or you will discover- the Red. The Red is based on a Tribute to Deep Sea Alarm Europe, with two differences, the red alarm disc and the different wording ...

Red Deep Sea AND an Atmos, actually ;-)
Hi Nicolas, I went to the pre-auction show at Sotheby\'s as it took place close to where I live and I am a fan of both Apple (Jony Ive) and JLC (Marc Newson). It was a very cool collection of stuff under the (RED) banner JLC was there with the red Deep Se...
I used to own the EU version...
And although it was, and is, a very pleasant watch to wear/handle and look at (on all accounts), I do not miss it. Why? Somehow it always kept nagging in the back of my mind: " This is not the real McCoy " So I took the descision never to buy a tribute or...
Not fake nor vintage, but Tribute to a Vintage.
Not totally the same. A fake vintage is a vintage whose authenticity can be questionned. With the Tribute, it is clear: It is not a vintage, nor a fake, it is just a modern watch which pays a hommage to a vintage. But I easily understand that you prefer t...
Thanks for looking, my friend. I love to play with these pics side by side.
Therefore it helps to compare the watches I wanted to compare. Best, Nicolas

I suppose it is just an optical illusion
Namely the U.S. one appears a tad larger - which I suppose is not the case?
