: Very unexpectedly came into possession of a Lecoultre Master
: Mariner Deep Sea compressor this morning. My first quick google
: on the phone sent me to directly to this excellent Hodinkee
: summary, which made me think, "Holy Hodinkee!" What an
: excellent resource for instant answers when you need them.

: Another resource said only 1500 of these were made in the late
: 1960s/early 70s. Do any of our members know much about this
: model? Are there other owners here? It's not a watch I knew much
: about before today. Research says it was called the Barracuda in
: the U.S. catalog and the Master Mariner Plongeur in the European
: catalog.

: It's been on my wrist all day and running perfectly. Just needs
: some cosmetics. Will post pics when I can.

: This kind of day keeps us...happy hunting,
