Finally, my First JLC!

By: RahulR : July 22nd, 2011-03:21

Hi all,

After what seems to be a VERY long wait, I have finally gotten my first JLC and what a great way it is to start! I wasn't going to post pictures because frankly, i'm a horrible photographer. However, since I haven't seen one on the forums I took some but they do absolutely no justice to the watch.

What did I get? None other than the Deep Sea USA! Just picked last night, and am completely loving it. Honestly, theres not much I can say about this piece that no one has already.

The dial looks Phenomenal, and sits very beautifully on my 7" wrist. The look is absolutely timeless (after all, its a very accurate representation of the original and still looks great). I am LOVING the domed plexy, although it is almost impossible to photograph well. One thing about this piece is that it looks MUCH better in person.

The only negatives i can think of is that the strap could be better, i saw a little peeling on it which isn't good. But I do like how faithful it is to the original. Also, the buckle is very simple, but I guess it allows me to focus more on the watch itself.

I know that was very brief. I am not great at reviews at all, so I will just skip on to the pictures

Hope you all enjoy! - Rahul

The first one! Congratulations Rahul.

And what a way to start with JLC!!!! Wow! This is the version for me, too. Surprisingly, I love that extra writing on the dial -- on this one it just seems to work.

It is just beautiful -- and so are your hotos of the DSA. Congratulations!

GRRRRR . ..why did you have to post this??

By: adman7 : July 22nd, 2011-08:56

TOTALLY kidding

. . Congrats and love it! I'm just torn between the clean lines of the Euro dialed version and the funkier and stronger dial layout of the Stateside version . . . .You're not making the choice any easier. Really loving this team USA style. What a great way to start a weekend and enjoy the new catch!

FANTASTIC!!!

Great watch and I love your wristshots "a lot". Especially the one...

By: Ruckdee : July 23rd, 2011-02:48

...where you point the dial up and the watch is square with the camera. One can see the interplay of light and reflection on the domed glass very well.

Congrats!

By: Davo : July 23rd, 2011-10:33

Can't go wrong with that one. Simply beautiful, and so cool.

Awesome first!
