The hunt for the one with the depth gauge...
« on: July 23, 2014, 04:28:03 PM »

so the hunt for a proper dive watch with a depth gauge began in real earnest after this trip:

...and after recently concluding that there were none but one (sorry IWC/Aquatimers) that I really loved, and as timing and luck would have it, a great specimen presented itself over the past weekend.
never been quite a 'blues' watch person, but somehow with JLC, all three are exactly of that colour... so here it is, the JLC MC DP - that's Jaeger Lecoultre Master Compressor Diving Pro Geographic !

Wow!! Some high end stuff there.
I would've thought that you'd go with the IWC seeing you're a huge fan.

Believe me - I really really tried the full spectrum of IWC's aquatimers. from the vintages right up to what is released this year - but sadly no. The dial and case are just not together both interesting enough. The Deep 3 this year has a great titanium case, but the look of it is just boring I find...
