Jaeger-LeCoultre Master Compressor Diving Chronograph GMT Navy SEALs Watch Review

[@ablogtowatch]

@xilpa Glad you all like it. It might be a bit of a misdirected piece in terms of "what it is," but the sum of all parts is pretty satisfying.

[@OMGitsRiz]

Aside from the Navy Seal branding, it's an awesome watch. The DLC is wonderfully scratch resistant in a couple months of wearing it. As usual, great review :)

[@ablogtowatch]

@amps3 Glad you all like it.

[@ablogtowatch]

Thanks. There are a number of minor differences here and there so just compare the two models side by side.

[@ablogtowatch]

@d49191 That is an interesting request. I spend most of my wrist time reviewing watches that brands let me play with. That means I don't buy pieces very often anymore. I don't think I bought a single watch (for myself) in 2011. If I did, then I would be all over a state-of-the-collection style round-up. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@d49191]

Hey Ariel, Ever considering putting together a state-of-the-collection youtube post for end of year? It's sort of a tradition over at timezone, and I bet your readers would be curious to see what watches an "expert" spends his money on.

[@ferelman]

im in love with the extreme lab 2 , it would be amazing if u can review it , specially couse there are no videos of it on youtube , and the features of the watch are amazing

[@MrBilbonio]

everyone says something like "jasher-la-coolt" but that`s wrong its a mix between german and french "yai-ger- le coul-tre" jaeger (in german jäger) and french le coultre

[@vnctmrn]

more like 'yai(sharp G)er Le Coul-treh' uh kinda hard to describe it haha

[@petergrant9667]

What to expect from the Yankees?

[@ablogtowatch]

Yea, it is a great watch! Enjoy it.

[@backin10sec1]

10/10 watch 5/10 strap 3/10 price

[@MandyLionRock]

Awesome watch and great review as always! Thank you!

[@elguapo5620]

I have actually dreamt about this watch :)

[@Asovo]

this one is real nice and beautiful diver watch.

[@reinhx]

Thinking of getting this or SDDS..

[@axr-pe9di]

Is it just a collaboration or does the Navy really issue these to the seals?

[@xrendezv0usx]

I understand that the case is titanium with ceramic bezel, but what material are the pushers made from? Not the metal "compressor keys" but the pushers themselves... they look sort of rubberized are they actually a PVD metal or are they black rubber?

[@mikocok10]

This is a nice watch, never had a diving watch before. Can you wear this under a long sleeve or under a suit?

[@phillsteward]

Hey Ariel, Is this watch essentially the same as the model with the articulaed strap or are there differences I should be aware of when comparing the two pieces? I see you loves this watch - do you like the articulated rubber strap version just as much? Love the channel. Thanks. Phill

[@monalisaoverdrive867]

Awesome stuff!

[@phillsteward]

Hi, love your reviews! Do you prefer this over the standard master compressor 2 chrono? How is it different apart from the seals branding?

[@wongkokan6665]

How much does this cost in the market?

[@SoulOnSunday]

Guys, I have this watch Jaeger LeCoultre Master Eight Days Mens Watch 1602420. How much do you reckon it's really worth? Its brand new and I've never worn it.

[@hgm8337]

It’s a sun up sun down... nit am pm I think

[@mastluob2554]

Navy Seals wear calf leather bands ?

[@846524162]

The dial does look a bit like Blancpain Fifty Fathoms... doesn't it?

[@weaponsdrawn]

How much?

[@oszen]

PM indicator is not new. See for example Oris Worldtimer watches

[@LaBarbichette]

Love Jeager-LeCoultre, but I don't get the "Navy Seal" part. I mean, it's a luxury watch, not a tool watch. First how would the seals afford a 13K watch, and then would they really take it to the field?

[@bighands69]

I am not saying a SEAL would wear a watch like this but the actual field equipment that they use would easily cost that sort of money. The radios systems they used are probably based on some billion dollar platform and the hand sets probably cost thousands. Those scopes on the rifles are going to be very expensive as well never mind the rifles they are using.

[@zeo99]

i want a navy seals alarm so badly !!!!

[@sbsb7845]

Awesome watch, but I like this model without complication.And if you are the real Navy Seals guy. Than you can't really buy this watch with your salary.

[@bighands69]

+Svek B. Anybody on an average salary could afford a watch like this if they put their minds to it.

[@26dacloudsurfer003]

Same here

[@iAMChrisCC]

Would the real Seals wear this? Probably would go for a G-Shock or some other CBP piece.

[@a-laboratory7053]

Almost all of them did so, but l saw a navy seal who really use this.

[@Winny732]

You can get it cheaper in Switzerland :-)

[@tnak004]

Since when Swiss watches became weapons or tool for people who kill people.

[@drewflanagan4296]

nice watch, too bad it would look like one of Flava-Flavs clocks on my wrist.

[@Tednessful]

I frankly don't like it. Too bulky, too stealthy with that dial lost into a black morass. Doesn't look like a 13K JL at all and the bezel isn't readable enough to be a true divers watch.

[@92point5]

it's pronounced "Yay-ger"

[@tfall]

lol what Navy Seal on a government salary can afford this watch?

[@nwl213]

LoL.. real navy seal wears G shock

[@Visceralpleura]

too big
