Good choice!
Hi
Welcome to the club & good decision on pulling the trigger
Yes we'd all like tritium dial & full box & papers - but sometimes we have to compromise to get what we want.
Mine is non tritium & only has papers, but as I'm extremely unlikely to want to change it it's not a problem.
You can now enjoy what you have & if there's a happy coincidence & you find one with a full set - you can worry about it if & when it happens.
Enjoy your new Memovox

A recent find - Should I have said No ?
Friends, Many of you may know, that one of my JLC collection themes is Memovox. For quite a while, I have been looking for a certain MMV, which is pretty rare: it is a manual wind, Cal 914 ( which is based on JLC Cal 916)and the watch In very deep black w...
Huge congratulations for this one. I owned one few years ago and I regret to let it go.
If I am right it is 36mm case width without crown and not 34mm. Best wishes Alkiro
Thx for kind looking !.. And Yes, of course it's 36 mm, without crown.. Sorry for the typo !.. Cheers & Best, hs :))
PS: And actually I discovered a 2nd little glitch: The Cal is 914, manual wind, yes - going back to Cal 918, (and not 916). - Apologies, as well !
Huge congratulations on this wonderful piece!
I have had the opportunity to see one in Vienna earlier this year and really liked it. Outside of my watch buying cycle back then, unfortunately. And there used to be another one in Baden, I believe. In any case, you got yourself a real classic Memovox wi...
Thx for your friendly words & your kind chip- in !.. yes, I had seen the one in Baden but..
.. pricewise was a bit high, IMO. The one you tried, looked very nice ; 1 Q: was it T Swiss Made T, the Tritium version, which would have been really rare ? If you don\'t mind, pls send me a PM, where you had seen it ! If I would find the Tritium version,...
Nope ! It's not what I said...
...I never said I like it "a bit" ; actually I like it quite a lot ! Well done HS, excellent choice !
You want me to start singing Clash!? :)
Bravo my friend This one is must for any Memovox lover and the rest of us Yours D
Very well done, my friend.
the black dial is gorgeous and no wonder you had a weak moment. Enjoy it in the best of health. CC
Oh man! That is the right choice!!!
Congratulations! I\'m heading home to my new watch too! Well it\'s back from service, but I hardly had it on my wrist a week when I got it! So it\'s new for me!
A positive lesson to be not too demanding ;-)
Congratulations to a very appealing MMV! If you had been too demanding (b&p and tritium dial) this beauty would not be yours. Thank you for the write up and the pictures. Best Moritz

Congratulations!
Hi hs, Congratulations on your find. It is such a beauty. Mine says hello! I had been looking all over the internet as well. Lo and behold, one turned up 500 meters down the street from my office. Needless to say, I bought it straight away - even without ...
Thx for your friendly interest & kind looking !.. Yes, finding one also was a welcome coincidence, even in my home-city.. Best, hs
PS: You are right- sometimes after long hunting, luck happens near us !
Indeed, these Tritium details are the cherries on this cake !!..
.. But for now I\'m very happy with mine, sharing it with Blomman\'s one. Luckily also my index points are exhibiting a nice patine, albeit not as much as the Tritiums ! In fact, as I had let 2 slip away, this time I happily pulled the trigger. - Also was...
