I got this vintage JLC from my father-in-law, who found it in a house he bought 10 years ago. I don�t know anything about the history, and it looks more or less beaten up. Scratches all over, new cheap strap and some damage on the glass as well. But I still think the watch is quite nice and has a certain potential. I therefore plan to give it a total makeover. New JLC strap, have it polished, give the movement a complete service and even considering putting on a sapphire glass � if possible. I then have two questions. 1. Does any of you have some information about this watch (the backside has a number printed; 1271608)? 2. Would you put a sapphire glass on this piece? I would be grateful for any comments or inputs. Frank

Looks like a early 1970's JLC Memovox. The watch does have an alarm feature, don't know if you noticed that. I don't think you could put a sapphire crystal on the watch. It would be difficult to source a replacement plastic crystal at this point in time. Your watchmaker would be the best source for replacement or polishing of the crystal. Hope this helps, gatorcpa |
