Found: The Jaeger-LeCoultre Geophysic Worn By Captain William Anderson On The USS Nautilus
Earlier this week, we stopped off in Le Sentier, Switzerland, to visit the Manufacture Jaeger-LeCoultre. We were there to see something brand new – something they we will be thrilled to report on in the coming months. But, like most great products, what is new is usually based in something old, and what we saw as lovers of JLC's Geophysic line of watches was downright awesome.

I guess my earlier purchases didn't bear any weight either (as well as my dirty jeans, boots and ball cap appearance) as I was told that they were not allowed to discount Omega in fear of getting in trouble. When I told the sales lady what I had been quoted from another out of state AD she felt like she needed to give me a class on buying a nice watch! Oh well!! The only thing I really asked for was to save me the taxes off the price they had on the watch which is still a few hundred over what I had been quoted by the other AD. Maybe I came across rude t
