At 15.5, we're looking at close to 40% off retail. At that price I don't think I'd be able to resist... Is that feasible though?

 

I can pretty much get 35-40 off on these pieces all day.

 

At the end of the day, you should buy whatever makes you happy. However JLC are great watch makers. I really do love almost all their watches, and I really love the diver watches. If it were me, I would buy the one with the depth gauge, as I actually dive and would find it cool to have that feature. The one you like is amazing, and don't worry about the rubber becoming brittle or scratching, it wont happen to this watch. I wouldn't settle for it unless they could do 30% or better, I agree with swordsman. If ARA says he can get you that, give him a call. Only thing with this watch is that it is not a formal watch, so it would look silly with a suit. It's a casual watch.
