So close...
Close but no cigar!
In our quest to hunt beautiful vintage watches we need to look back and see how they looked when they were released!
It’s a long and difficult search for information…
But it’s also a fun ride! 
Sometimes you find something… Sometime you don’t…

E 871, E 872, E 855 and E 861.
Time?
Hm…
Close but no cigar..!
To early to light the cigar…
Need to find me one of these first.

Wow
Take my deep breath and just envy the watch. Now I need to have a better dial to put smile on my face for my only one memovox lol. Thx for sharing blomman.
Take a deep breath Shw..!
The road of the Memovox is long one! You will need all the air you can get… Thanks Shw! Best Blomman
Yes, the E 855…
Is a really great Memovox! You might recall I made peace with it last year… Thank you, Sancerre! Best Blomman
I would light up now
And then save another cigar for the next one. Just an amazing set our should I say suite you blomman... It is verging on perfection or at least shades of perfection. Thanks for sharing. HAGWE Bill
Bill, I must confess…
I couldn’t resist, I did light up! In our quest we strive for perfection… One day I will find it! And hopefully also peace of mind… Thank you, Bill! HAGWE Blomman
LOL, Excellent, Blomman.
But if now we have to hunt all the Memos which were on the ads, we are lost, my friend. You have the good E 855 " Ebony " Indexes for the Concord Ad... I know what you will answer me... That is terrific to observe how many different E 855 were made. I sti...
Na, not all…
But some of them. To hunt all versions of the E 855 would be Mission Impossible… The Concord, yes – still needs a vintage Polaris 68 for that one. One day, maybe… Yes, I got a lot of Memos left on my list. And after seeing the Paris exhibition photos I ha...
Agreed, my friend, an impossible mission.
But at least we can try to grab the essential ones... Aaah, by the way, which are the essential? Just enough to feed our dreams for a long time. Best, Blomman. Nicolas.
You are killing me
Neat post, but with so many gorgeous watches I don't know what direction to go anymore. Best regards, George
No, no George!
Don’t die on us now – still a lot to come! There are so many beautiful vintage watches it will last for a lifetime! Thank you, George! Best Blomman
Blomman, like the fun way of your presentation...
... excellent idea to make all these comparisons... like it. but poor thing some of these Memos are still currently missing from my collection :-( thanks and well done, Blomman. stefan
You like, Stefan?! :)
Yes, I thought it was a fun idée! But I fear it will take long time before I find the last one for this set… Thank you, Stefan! Best Blomman
Great Group shot
Hi Blomman Great group shop - as you say close but no cigar. But a large chunk of the fun is in the hunt! What would you do if you had everything?! cheers JML
Indeed, a big part of the fun is in the hunt…
And afterwards be able to wear them on your wrist! I think (hope) the day you have everything never comes. What a bore that would be! Thank you, Jml! Best Blomman
Why not the cigar en route ?
- nice and enjoyable post, again, Blomman ! But why not having a cigar from time to time also ON our twisted but beloved routes ? What's nicer than for either self-contemplation or even better, a kind share with friends to cherish the moment .. Like on a ...
Re: “The Journey is the reward”
Indeed, I agree with you, HS! But when it comes to vintage watches the good thing is that the road don’t end when you find her! That the pleasure of wearing her on your wrist starts… And to enjoy an cigar now and then… You bet! What woul...
