**SOLD**

Up for sale is my 2008 Jaeger LeCoultre Master Compressor Chronograph. Gotta make room in the collection for some incoming.

I bought the watch from Tourneau in NYC in 2012, with one previous owner (to my knowledge) having bought it new in 2008. The Master Compressor is a dive watch with unique a twist-lock system on the chrono pushers and the crown. Half a turn to lockdown for diving, or the reverse to unlock the crown and pushers for use. Like all models from the Master Control series the watch had to pass JLC's stringent 1,000 hours test regimen.

Reference: 175.84.70
Dial: Original condition. Note the interesting hours chrono dial at 9 o'clock, where the vertical arrow is static and the 12-hour white dial itself rotates.
Hands: Original and excellent condition.
Crystal: Original sapphire, excellent condition, no scratches.
Case: Very good condition, regular wear. 41.5mm by 13.5 with a 21mm lug width.
Movement: JLC 751, 28,800 A/h, double barrels, 41 jewels
Functions: Hours, minutes, sub-seconds, date; chronograph seconds, 30-minute and 12-hours counters
Crown and pushers: Original signed crown and original pushers. Both with twist-lock mechanism described above.
Power Reserve: 65 hours (double barrels)
Bracelet: Original JLC double deployant steel bracelet. 3 extra links included (my wrist is 7.25")
Box & Papers: JLC boxes and certificate from Tourneau purchase in 2012

Fully serviced in 2016 by Jaeger LeCoultre (shipped to Switzerland). Running well and keeping excellent time.

Reduced to US$5,300 or best reasonable offer for F2F in the Vancouver area. Decent price with the factory bracelet.
Or shipping included for buyers in Canada and US. +3% for PayPal.
I have plenty of references available on request.

Agreed- I think it took a some people a bit to realize they could get a far better watch than a Daytona at 1/3 the price.
