Jaeger-LeCoultre

Welcome Cousie!

 

The three watches you mention are very different in function and style.

 

Maybe if you give us some more info on what you would like to get out of a watch we might be able to point in some directions…

 

The Master Compressor Chronograph 2 is a more traditional chronograph while the the AMVOX II has the very unique crystal pushers.

 

The only one of these three you mention that I personally have any experience of is the NS Alarm – a great watch!

 

If it’s a big, tough and sporty diver’s watch you are after you can’t go wrong with this one!

The alarm function is a very usable complication, IMO.

I think first you have to decide what kind of watch you are looking before anybody can give you any good advice.

 

 

Best

After some JLC AD visits, came up with these three in my view equal exceptionnel watches... The Master Compressor Chronograph 2, Master Compressor Diving Alarm Navy seals or Amvox II Chronograph DBS. I'm still not sure which one I will buy... Which one wo...

Not easy to answer your question, Cousie. These 3 watches are so different! If you want to go on a more classical watch, the MC Chrono 2 is for you. Sporty, yet classic in its function. If you want to go for the original, so the Amvox II is for you, as it... 

Here, you must decide on function over form...

since these are VERY different pieces. My personal favorite, by far, is the NS Alarm. I love the ceramic, bead-blasted bezel, the 300-meter water test and the alarm - which sounds superior emanating from a titanium case. Oh, and the articulated rubber is ... 

I sort of have two of these..

I have the original JLC MCDC and I have the AMVOX II DBS. For everyday use I would chose the diver but, if it is just going to be in your rotation of other watches I would go with the AMVOX. I don't wear my DBS as much as I should because I like having it... 

What a wonderful dilemma...

As I said over on TZ, it would help if we knew what your current collection looked like and which complication would be of more use to you, i.e. a chronograph, or an alarm. As someone who owns both an NSA and an MCDC (which houses the same movement as the...

...there are a few of us, at least, who have had trouble deciding among the JLC sports watches. I, too, went through a similar "this or that" dilemma when choosing among a JLC alarm, the Extreme World Chrono, a JLC diver and an AMVOX2. What I ended up wit...
