AMVOX 2 DBS!

Hi,

A few years ago, I let go of my Amvox 2 Black concept to fund another watch. I have been regretting it ever since.......

An opportunity came up for the DBS version and I took it! When I first decided on the Amvox 2, I was torn between the Black Concept and the DBS. I thought that since I have given the Black a go, why not try the DBS this time!?

Quick iphone pic.

Been great to have the Amvox 2 back on the wrist. It is so surprising that it is a watch born almost 15 years ago! It still looks so young, sharp and fresh (in all its iterations)! Very comfortable to wear despite the large size. So pleased I have a member of the Amvox family back!

A question about the chronograph function. I recall the minute counter is what we call a “semi-instantaneous” jump. What about the half hour counter? I notice it seems to move in little steps (as opposed to a distinct jump every 30minutes) as the minute counter elapses. Is that right?

BW,
Chi Kai

Welcome back to the Amvox II Gang, my friend. Bravo! Mine welcomes yours.

And it is a keeper, for me. As for your question, in my memory, it is all semi instantaneous. Best, Nicolas ...

Thank you mom ami!

It is good to be back in the gang! I love your platinum Gen 1. BW, Chi Kai

Yes, it has been a long deliberation between the black concept and the platinum... [nt]

So cool. I wish I had the DBS but I had to settle for this:

The Racing version is not bad at all! [nt]

By: amanico : September 2nd, 2020-11:36

That is super cool

By: chikai168 : September 2nd, 2020-13:39

And I definitely would not call that settling! BW, Chi Kai

WatchProSite strikes again!

By: Jim14 : September 3rd, 2020-13:56

Yes. Once again the members here have opened my eyes to a "hidden gem" in the AMVOX line. I have found that the one that speaks to me is the "7" which I believe is the last one before the partnership dissolved. Thank you all for your input: my hunt for an...

Excellent news, Jim. Please post pictures when you get it! [nt]

By: amanico : September 3rd, 2020-13:59

That is a very nice piece

By: chikai168 : September 3rd, 2020-15:11

I believe they completely redesigned the case-both to fit the PR indicator and to make it more ergonomic. It comes with quick change straps as standard too. Don’t see too many of them around! Post pics when you get it! BW, Chi Kai

Not being familiar with Amovox 7...

By: India Whiskey Charlie : September 4th, 2020-08:26

I didn't know of the power reserve display but I know I see there are two indicators. How does this work? Photo from an Internet search ...

It is a radial power reserve.

Here is another better picture. ))) Totally empty: Half full. When the red part disappears at each side, it is full. Funny, original and interesting. Best, Nicolas ...

I am still amazed by the Amvox 2 and the innovation with the crystal-actuated chronograph. Truly ahead of it's time and highly underappreciated sadly 😞 [nt]

By: holdemchamp1225 : September 6th, 2020-07:42

I understand what you mean

By: chikai168 : September 6th, 2020-08:29

JLC doesn’t always get the recognition it deserves. But those in the know, know! 😉 BW, Chi Kai

That has to change! [nt]

Love mine as well...

By: Dave G : September 6th, 2020-09:20

I have two variants I like them so much. One of the best chronograph designs ever in my opinion. Dave ...

I must admit I have a preference for the first generation. [nt]
