Thanks for your enthusiastic input.
Let's hope that JLC does hear us in pour prays to see the re issue of the DSA!
Best,

A wonderful watch

Having had the opportunity to see a Deep Sea Alarm vintage watch in the flesh (guess thanks to who (more than one response possible)) I must agree that it is a stupendous watch, both in the US and the European version (and I got to see both). It is true t...

This is a collective fault... To get a re edition of the DSA would be as exciting, in my opinion, than getting a re edition of some legends as the Geophysic, the Pilot watches, the Futurematic, and so on. Like fish ... and ...chips. Best, my friend. Nicol...

These are THE words to qualify the DSA. Not as known as the Polaris, but they deserve more than a " succes of estime ". I'm not amazed that you love the DSA... You own a modern re interpretation of it with the NSA. Best, Drew and thanks for your input. Ni...
A past to be revisited...

I love that, Neil. There hasa lways been some important place for Innovation, at " La Grande Maison ", and the Past is always present, too. What is the Memovox, if not a reincarnation of the Past? Same for the Master RDM, Control, Geographique and so on.....
Great reporting!

Prior to this read, I was only aware of the US version of the DSA and really, I thought that the Polaris was more elegant as the script writing on the dial just killed the watch for me. But after reading, I wholeheartedly agree that the DSA is more elegan...
I have the same problem
By: grigo : January 2nd, 2011-22:34
can't seem to be able to decide between the TTP 68 and the 65. Guess that means that you should simply get both. Same issue with the DSA, cannot seem to make a choice between the US and European versions, which is quite notrmal as the are both very beauti...
A though question, POY.

The MM Deep Sea is another very interesting and lovely JLC Vintage Diving watch. And yes, I'd like to see a MM Deep Sea re issued in a close future. Still, I think tha the original size wouldn't be everyone's taste ( 37 mm ) for a diving watch, which make...
Pure pleasure!

The vintage JLC/LC divers are pure pleasure! And posts like this! Nicolas, thank you for yet another fantastic post! You know my love for both the Polaris and the Deep Sea Alarm! It is post like this that made me realize that one is not enough; you need b...
Beautiful photos

Thank you for your passionate editorial about these intensely subtle but yet very sporty timepieces. I hope to one day see a Deep Sea Alarm in person. I do like the rugged look of the Polaris, and I wonder if I would like the more elegant rugged look of t...
Agree

Nico, I'm agree on how you describe the dsa. Very well said. It is always interesting me with this kind of design since I'm no real diver but I will much prefer diver watch that is elegant enough to be brought to the party or to meet client. Seiko also la...
DB4 vs DB5
By: Le Monde Edmond : November 16th, 2011-14:17
Here is my take on both diving watches Polaris and DSA. I think the Polaris is certainly more iconic as a watch. However the DSA is more elegant agreed. Much like the Aston DB4 & 5. DB 5 is more iconic but for the connaisseurs who know the DB4 is more ele...
