The dial is nicely proportioned and features appropriately rolex swiss sized hands and markers, which should prove to be legible in a variety of conditions. The subdial at three (a 30 minute totalizer) and nine (a 12 hour totalizator) oddly remind me of the gauges seen in old Ford Mustangs and I really like the long hands and almost Bauhaus font used for the numbering. While this is a more iwc replica modern style than the Tribute version of the Deep Sea, it is still a classic and rather reserved interpretation of the dive chronograph, especially for JLC. I suppose Jaeger-LeCoultre contrasts designs like the Deep Sea Chronograph with the more raucous and complex styling seen in parts of the AMVOX and Master Compressor lines (illustrated below).

A balanced and reserved style is actually not the Deep Sea Chronograph's only notable attribute. Just take a closer look at the photos. Below the "Jaeger-LeCoultre" on the dial, there is a small aperture which has three phases depending on the current status of the chronograph - be it idle, running, or paused. When idle, fake watches the aperture shows an inconspicuous white circle but this will transition to being white and red while the chronograph is running and a solid red when the measure is paused. Jaeger-LeCoultre calls this a "chronograph operation indicator" and it is essentially a way for a diver to be able to quickly verify that the chronograph is running and timing their dive (or in my case, more likely a French press). I like the simple and crisp white of the idle phase but LOVE the white/red of the running phase, which has no doubt been designed to be reminiscent of a diving flag.

Great to see you guys yesterday. We had a very nice time at the wedding. Please post some pictures.
