The only problem with these improvised small GTGs is ...
That you spend a lot of time to drink too much... Which has severe consequences on your ( double ) vision.
Now, I really see double.
I hunt this ref ( 3072 ) for several years, now, since I saw it in the Paris Boutique, for the unveil of the TT Polaris...
Since, I'm obsessed, and during our small GTG, I met two lucky B who own, each of them, this funky beauty.
I'm jealous... I must be dreaming. It will pass. It HAS TO pass.
More pics of the 3072 to come, guys.
Best,
Nicolas.

A large cup of strong coffee may help
Nicolas I love Memos but this one is beyond funky. Cheers
Thanks for your help, Nilo. :)
I totally see your ponit, as, on pictures, the 3072 is not very tempting, not really photogenic. But in the real, this is totally different, a kind of pleasant witness of the 70ies. It cannot be your first Memo, but it can fit a Memo Collection... Best, m...
Well.. and What .. if jealousy is just reciprocal ? ..
.. only for other OOD's ? ( objects of desire) But amazing still .. two sisters.. Yet diverse by the bracelet, changing their appeal - "Zut alors", remarkable twinnies ! Thanks for these great shots ! Funky double .. Best, hs
This is one of the 3 or 4 references I still miss in my Memo collection.
Well, 5 with the DSA US, butr this is another story. I'm happy, very happy you have one, my dear friend. You will just have to change those crowns, but I think it is an esay issue to solve now. Best, hs 111, it was good to meet you here. Nicolas.
Mais, Oui ..My missing Memos refs: 5-10 times more.. Yet:
OMG .. Just 5 missing, pretty close to one of the 7 summits, you then are. But so many other mountains, I trust ! - Meanwhile just started to make one step after the other, and a good guide is a major asset I appreciate ! Indeed, the crown issue for the 3...
My pleasure, hs.
You go pretty fast, my friend. But with so many great catches. Anything to reveal, or should I say, to confess? Best, Il Padre.
One has to ask oneself deep inside.. Mon pere ;-)
You DO know about the confession for the 'second hand', - as somone kind had been helpful in filling it .. Some other future confessions, we'll hope for those, they can be heard, j 'espere. Other than that ? -- Weelll.. Pretty deep inside, I have been exp...
ROFL, hs.
Now I know that when I read your answers, I'd better not drink tea at the same time, for my keyboard sake. Confessional time. Show me these ( not anymore empty ) hands. I agree that the last lunch was a pretty terrific experience. The Devil was not far. A...
One of wo hands.. The Devil .. And a Café :))
Well .. Really had to do some work, to contribute for future 'refills' of the hands before coming back: Alas: maybe I'll start with one hand: All components there: - the content, a nice backdrop, the dark Devil .. And of course a Café You need strong espr...
Strange to notice how much the devil is present in this forum. :)
Superb pics, and the ticket shot is a Classic, now. Thank you so much. Best, Nicolas.
So, no second hand required ? .. Lucky me ? :-o
Well, you might know what's in and on there, - because The Dark Lord knows it, sees a lot but guides our hands, on occasion.. Thank you, Monseigneur, Best, hs ( a motivated 'sinner') Ps: Happy, that you liked again the 'ticket shot' - you're Co-producer ....
OK.. I'll surrender .. The second hand you know so well :))
Mon Pere .. Yes , I do confess: Here my sinful pleasure: - but one big problem - je ne regret rien ! ( and I might do it again..) Sooo nice- also in love with this One: Part of my condensing FUTURE in the Vintage World Not only two hands, but two holes ! ...
One of the JLC icon in the Vintage world, hs.
Love this lovely monster. Top elegant, and original, too. Have a lot bof pleasure with it, my friend. Thanks for these nice pictures. Best, Nicolas.
I really don't see that as such a big problem.
I would have figured that you would be seeing four watches??? Or am I missing something. Two lovely beasts. Best regards, George
Errrr, 4 watches, yes, but in another reference, George. ;)
We really should stop these cocktails. Best, my friend. Nicolas.
Funky as it gets
I wanna one also...this one is just crazy .. positively crazy... Amazing how strap vs bracelet changes level of funkiness... one with bracelet please Best Damjan P.S. .,.,.and this is NOT a problem with small GTGs
Absolutely correct.
Much funkier with the bracelet. But something tells me we will soon see another stunning combo. Stay tuned, my good friend. Best, Nicolas.
For Nico & Ares501.. Another Combo anyone ?
Hear you loud and clear, My Lord: Here is it: Quite a mesmerizing appeal, this Stingray pattern I found , delivers again another appearance. The play of light is really cool , don't you think ? Nico , your shots are magnificent !! Here is it: Quite a mesm...
Let me find one, first, then I will play with the Combos. :)
Totally original, nver seen before, audacious, as the sting ray looks precious and the 3072 is so funky, but it works! Nicely done, young padavan. Best, Nicolas.
Not me to thank, Master .. Just the Force !
What a nice word, Master Qui-Gonn Jinn ( or even Joda .. Naah, not yet..) My very best will further try, assured be you ! Yours energetically, hs ( Obi- Wan Kenobi aka Watson) Ps: Credit: Star Wars: Epidode 1: Phantom Menace Let The Force be with us .....
That stingray looks really wild and cool
It is a stingray strap yes? (Just learning the names of all the millions of strap variations...) Wild! Cool!
Yes, Stingray.. And its shiny appeal and play of light is amazing :)
Indeed, it really turned my 'base' funky 3072 into yet another piece, almost: The little round scales reflect the light in correspondence with the round indices of the dial, the blue changes colors, multiplexing almost, I am inclined to observe.. Thnx for...
they can drive you mad I'm told:)
wow--two to taunt you Stay the course--you'll have one some day! J
I'm quite confident on this, Jason.
Even if this is not a so easy bird to catch. Best, Nicolas.
what a pair...
... very nice pair, especially the one on bracelet is superb cool, just love it. luckily, i also go one in my Memo collection. hehe, Nico... stefan ps: got a quick question, the crowns of another Memo on strap in your pic look different, are they also ori...
The crowns on the 3072 with strap have to be changed.
Which may well be done soon, Stefan. I really have to find one if I still want to be part of the " 4 musketeers ". Best, my friend. Nicolas.
double trouble!
small or large, GTG's are always fun. Cool you got to see the two together. -MW
It will pass, my friend!
As you are the King of finding beautiful watches in stunning condition! So this one is destined to end up with you. Just a matter of time, my friend! Interesting how many doubles we saw... Or did we all drink too much?! Best Blomman
I know, I know, Blomman.
The thing is that this Ref, as the Black Memo from the 90ies, is one of these watches which escape from me. Not the most difficult to find, but go figure why... Best, Nicolas.
very nice fast ebat memovox amanico, thanks for sharing
Some months ago, I have seen one at my favorite watchmaker for sale but couldn't buy it because I had other priorities. Thanks for sharing this beauty. best regards georges
Will post more pics a bit later, Georges.
One day, we will join the ranks of the 3072 owners! Best, Nicolas.
