Hi Zaf and friends! I've been eyeing this JLC Memovox recently, but I have some concerns about it. 1. The style is a pretty significant departure from other JLC Memovoxs of the period: warm colors and a matte finish. 2. Additionally, I haven't been able to find any identical pieces. The closest one I could find was on this forum in 2004: http://www.classicwatch.com/discus/messages/622/1827.html?1140261275 3. The dial seems pretty dirty. The color might be due to dust. I'm not sure if it could be cleaned without replacement. Seller provided info: Jaeger LeCoultre Memovox Stainless Steel case no. 1232311 Automatic movement Estimated 1960s Price: USD 4300 So, what's your take? Any modifications or other red flags? Picture: http://db.tt/4ldhE80 Thanks! | ||

After searching about 100 posts, I think that may have found a reference to this exact model! (in an odd random thread) http://www.classicwatch.com/discus/messages/622/7643.html Calibre 825 E855 automatic, 37mm, comes in stainless The description is hard to read. Something like "Applied ebony-(something) hour markers" ? Seriously, what are the odds of finding that catalog scan? | ||

Sounds very expensive to me, by at least $1000. | ||

Zaf, You are right on the money: I got it down to $2900 now. Great price estimate! Thanks. | ||

I did end up getting this watch at the lower price. The picture actually didn't do it justice.. The case is like a mirror and the dust/specs in the picture are barely perceptible under normal lighting. The bumper movement was weird at first, but it's cool when you get used to it! |
