Well, the wait is over... After what seemed like an eternity, finally picked up my NSA Incursion from the Boutique last Thursday. For those of you who read my other thread, you'll know that it was almost love at first sight when I saw this piece at the Bo...  

Two watches with a strong personality. The E 873, funky but much nicer in the real than on the pictures ( this watch is absolutely not photogenic ), and the NSA, which is certainly my favourite, in the Compressor Family, with its subtle vintage touch. I a...  

For your kind words and encouragement again... Is that a NSA Aldao I spy in your picture? Whilst I love the NSA Alarms in general, the one thing that pushed me over the edge for this model was the etched logo - I personally couldn't bear the thought of th... 

Around 5 NSAs came witrh the sterile dial and sapphire. I asked JLC to get me one of these unsigned dials, et voilà. Being a JLC moderator has its privilege, from time to time. Best, Nicolas

...Would the 5 sterile dials be part of the prototypes or the first '5' of the 1500 run? Actually, I've also wondered whether the Aldao series were also part of the following taken as a separate series? I'm sure that the 'privilege' of a JLC moderator had... 

The Aldao is exactly the same than the proto... Here nothing is engraved nowhere, nor on the dial, nor on the sapphire. It is not a proto, nor a limited deries, it is just an accident. For the benefit of 5 of us... Best, Nicolas

Sometimes the best of things arise from so-called 'accidents'. I wonder whether the other '4' are here as well? Either way, I'm sure that we're all enjoying our pieces as we should be - in the company of good friends and the best of health. Regards, Steph... 

Yes, accidents can b very good, sometimes... Best, Nicolas

Any NSA is special and you're fortunate to have found the one you received, over a year after its announcement. #44 says "hello!"...  

... That wouldn't happen to be one of Rob's alcantara straps you have on there, would it? I've been chasing on of those, but can't decide which buckle to choose for it. It's a fine looking strap! Regards, Stephen.

I went with the PVD buckle. Please tell me by PM what strap you have on in your picture.

The NSA by itself is indeed a special watch, but the Incursion ratchets the cool factor to 11 on the dial (Spinal Tap reference for you); I'm honored to have been able to help steer you in the right direction. #10 salutes you: Wear #16 in the best of heal...  

For your kind words, reference posts and assistance on my purchasing 'journey'. The last few weeks or so waiting for pickup had been pretty agonising - worse than any childhood pre-Christmas anxiety (I can remember) and probably worse than the anticipatio... 

No message body

For you kind words. To be honest, I need to brush up on my photography. Seeing so many great photos posted by others has made me want to dust off the camera and bring it back into service. Kind regards, Stephen.

...by the many pics posted on this site and elsewhere. That's why I am using my DSLR more often too. It's very obsolete, maybe five or six years old now. I think I have to use it more often to bring down the "per photo cost" of camera price divided by the... 

...to me anyway. Amortising the cost of larger purchases always seem easier when you break it down to the transactional level (number of wears, photos, uses, etc). One thing that I love about DSLRs is that good glass (lenses) never becomes obsolete - alth... 

... still looks young and handsome when standing besides your modern functional one stefan

...thanks for your comments. I'd like to take the credit for it's 'youthful' appearance but It's more a function of the fact that for the first 18 years of my life, the watch sat in my mother's cupboard waiting for me to 'come-of-age' and the next 10+ yea... 

two great Memos! And your E 873 looks very nice on original bracelet...! Best Blomman

...for your kind words. I'm greatly enjoying incorporating the NSA into my weekly rotation. As for the E873, all credit goes to my mother for keeping the watch for so long under lock & key. I'm just glad she opted for the bracelet - not entirely surprisin...
