I recently got lecoultre memovox on cal.916 - typical product of 70 ties - by design , the case ref. number is 9508. Maybe anyone knows (since I couldn't find it in Zaf's book) the approximate year and production amount. Thank you in advance Rafal | ||

Strange. A screw back would typically have a "Exxx" case reference. The four digit references without the "E" are typically for snap backs or watches not considered water resistant. | ||

Please see below: Memovox US model Signed "LeCoultre" on the dial and "HPG" (> High Precision Guarantee) Case made of steel, waterresistant Reference HPG 907, according to the US catalogue of 1969 so it seams thats one of very first cal.916 models thank you for help and best regards rafal |
