Good question. My answer.
Hey,
i think this can be explained by the fact that there is a saturation of the AMVOX 2 line.
The original concept seems to have been lost along the way, which in my eyes was a watch based on the JLC + Aston Martin asthetics. The inspiration of the Aston Wheels with red brakes showing ever so slightly, the classy black lettering on silver, the hidden chrono indicators, etc...The original AMVOX 2 i think embodies this perfectly and it should have stopped there.
But no, now we have the DBS, the DBS 2nd version in SSteel, the Le Mans x 2, the DBS with Transponder, the AMVOX 3 etc...
Were sliding into AP Offshore territory..... not there yet, but slowly getting there.
Personnaly, the Stainless Steel kills it for me. I love the look of it and would have bought it over any other version (except the original one) if it had been in Titanium.
I got the DBS but got bored and sold it. Now im only keeping the original one, which has yet to bore me even after two years wearing it daily as my main.
Cheers

Why is there not much discussion on the new Amvox 2 DBS in Stainless Steel
Just wondering why this is not much discussion on this watch.. even though it was introduced only recently at SIHH 2009... anyone.......
I agree with you
A wonderful watch that is not well known or appreciated because of it "big" size ? don't know. I made a review of it in another place and was surprised by reactions. Obviously a little bif for my whrist (but why not, it could be my "panerai" ), but an inc...

Good points, but...
I agree, there is probably some saturation of the market with the AMVOX2 in general. There have been a lot of versions of this watch since the original was introduced several years ago, although I would suggest that the versions are quite different in app...
I tried on the AMVOX3 just today...
...less than an hour ago, in fact. My initial reaction to this watch was not entirely positive, but having now seen it a couple of times ands tried it on, it is very impressve. The auto rotor visible through the back is beautiful. It has a nice weight to ...
Sadly, no.
I have not yet gotten comfortable taking photos of watches while visiting my AD. Too, bad. But at least you have experienced this one for yourself recently.
Here are 2 pics of the amvox III in platinum
Defintely my favourite, compared to the RG version... Best, Nicolas...
You can't argue with the platinum
Oddly, the Aston Martin reference is more prominent on the AMVOX3 than on its predecessors. Not sure how I feel about that, as I have always admired the subtlety of the cross branding. Thanks for posting some additional shots. respo
An effect of the flash I had to use, too, Respo.
In real much more discrete! Best, Nicolas
Actually, I made a post about it, in January 2009...
Make a search, you will see more pics. Best, Nicolas
I took....
a picture when I tried it on but it turned out horrible (phone camera) Cheers
The Amvox III is another of these watches which have
To be seen again and again, preferabily in the flesh, to fully appreciate them... I really love it, with a light preference for the platinum one, which was released at the beginning of this year. Agreed, Respo. Best, nicolas
Well, I just answered, Xavier
To make it short, yes I agree when you say that it is not a LE anymore, as quite 4 000 were made, all versions included. BUT, do we have to see it as a LE, or as an interesting, original, and why not, a funny watch? As for the A II DBS in titanium, go and...
Forgot to add....
... the thing i love most about the watch is: the strap. It's fantastic and im getting one for my AMVOX 2 Even sportier than the DBS early version. Cheers Xav
Amvox 2...
I really like the entire range of these watches. I think they should settle on a design and introduce it into the standard range in the catalogue. Can't be doing with too many LE's and yet it seems to be a track JLC are treading with greater regularity. C...
Actually, we often spoke about the Amvox II
The fact is that as some already said, we made quite a lot of posts about the Amvox II and its different variations. The DBS, The Transponder, the Amvox II DBS, and now, the Amvox II Racing. I say variations because they are cosmetic evolutions of the sam...
Maybe....
our dear moderator would like to instigate the greatest roll call for AMVOX like the Polaris one lol Cheers
Both Respo & Nicolas....
said it quite well. There has been a lot of discussion here about the AMVOX 2. The new ss version is just a different metal. Nicolas is right, it is not really a limited edition, but on the other hand it is not unlimited and at the end of the day it does ...
i'm a bit ignorant of the Amvox II versions.
i'm aware of the original which i really like. i'm aware of the DBS transponder sold only with or after purchase of a DBS. i'm also aware of the new racing version which i'm not a fan of. i have seen a black Ti model which i really love the look of. there...
I tried to....
upload a picture or mine but the system could not take it I will try later Meanwhile if you try a search you will see some photos of the AMVOX 2 DBS Cheers
Always a pleasure to see it, again and again, PP
It reminds me that I also saw it in the flesh in Taormina ( Sicily ) 1 yera and a half ago... The idea of getting it crossed my mind... Best, Nicolas
thanks Pink Panther, but personally...
thanks Pink Panther, but personally i prefer the original. i usually like Skeleton dials, but this just looks a bit too busy. a chrono, on the rare occasions that we ever use one, needs to be easy to read quickly and i dont know if this is. best Graham
It is busy....
but I do not think that it is difficult to read The first AMVOX 2 is easier to read but both of them are, in my opinion beautiful in their own way Cheers
AWESOME!!!!!!!
Ah, the RG on this DBS is just so warm. Great wrist shot, Pink. There are few watches that photograph better than the DBS, IMHO. Cheers, respo
The various AMVOX2 versions
Original version (with LE numbers): Platinum (200), Titanium (750), Black titanium (500) DBS: Pink Gold - a la PinkPanther (300), Titanium (999), Platinum (200), SS (499) AND AMVOX2-Racing: Black (100), White (100) DBS Transponder (unknown number) There y...
thanks respo, i think i've...
thanks respo, i think i've got that sorted. i really like the black Ti model or the original. perhaps one day i'll get one. best Graham
Just a bit under 4 000, Respo
Yes, I made the count, a few weeks ago, and I arrived just under the 4 000... You've forgotten one ref, but I can't blame you... Best, Nicolas
Now I can tell you
There is not a secret anymore... Amvox II Racing " Paris Boutique Edition "... 24 pieces, only. Best, Nicolas
Damn! Those Paris Boutique editions are always getting me into trouble. ;-)
Can you post a picture of this one or direct me to a prior post, please? I think I may have heard about it, but perhaps only once or not at all, and yes I missed this one, so now we are up to 3,673, correct? In your post about LeMans there were what appea...
Respo
I feel your trouble, my friend, when it comes to Paris Boutique edition... What I can tell you is that it will come with a PVD black case, lie on the Black A II Racing, but with the white dial of the other A II Racing version, and maybe something special,...
I included the Transponders, but...
...since I do not know the exact number of that model, it is not counted in my total. I am unaware of that number being published. If you know the number of Transponders produced or to be produced, let me know. Thanks. Your friend obsessing over the insig...
We.....
love our AMVOXes don't we?? Cheers ps I am even considering the racing one.......
What's not to love?
But you are crazy, man, considering another AMVOX2. LOL You are a very greedy boy, indeed. LOL. But yes, the racing models are very tempting. Wait to see what the Boutique edition looks like. That may be something very special. respo
Not yet, but
If you see my post about the A II Racing, take the black case with the white dial of the other, and you will have 90 % of the Amvox II Racing Boutique Edition. Best, Nicolas
Wow Respo.....
A very complete account You did forget to mention after the AMVOX 2 DBS titanium a la Respo...... lol If you also consider you great review from a few months ago, all the info on the DBS version is available Great job Cheers
