Jaeger-LeCoultre

Hi, Peone.

 

Here are some answers:

1/ The Amvox 1 is not a limited edition unless it is in Titanium ( 1 000 pieces ).

A Special Edition, that means that the production was limited, but no one knows the real numbers.

My guess is that it would be around 5 000, maybe 6 000.

It doesn't have any value implication, and if you want to do an investment, you should avoid watches in general.

2/ Yes, the Amvox I is discontinued, since 2009, if I remember correctly.

3/ General thoughts about this watch:

This is a modern interpretation of the Polaris, a very cool watch, with a reliable movement.

If you're in love with it, you should just go on it, withouth thinking about its value in the future.

As always with watches, when the deal is too good, the deal is not good.

Buy the seller, even if it costs you a bit more.

Best, and welcome here!

Nicolas

By: PEone : June 18th, 2010-01:58
Hi All I am very close to picking up my first JLC. This is the first "real" step up in a watch for me, one that I have pondered for quite some time. I have two other watches, one being a Casio.... and the other, a Mont Blanc - white faced. I have been loo...

The AM I is a great watch! Had my SS version since 2005, love it! If you don’t want to go for a pre-owned one or Web-sites, there are still AD’s that have new AM I in stock. Of course the price will be higher… To add to Nicolas response, there is also a L... 

Correct, Blomman, but the 2 other Amvox I you mentionned are

Are Racing models... Hence the name " Amvox I R ". Best, my friend, and thanks for the complement. Nicolas

advice is very sound.... Always, always buy the seller.... Better to pay a bit more than think that you ay less and end up with nothing.... also, a watch is not really an investment.. so buy what you really like.... Good luck... Cheers

Thanks all. Sorry for the lag between posts....I have gotten back from holidays and things have been crazy at work. I have one question - what do you mean when you say buy the seller? and also - where is the best place to pick up all these awesome straps ... 

Buy the Seller = Be sure of the origin.

Even if it costs you a bit more, that is the price of Peace of Mind. Best, Nicolas

Purchase made

 
By: PEone : July 4th, 2010-06:32
Hi All Just a quick note to say that I took the plunge and made the purchase. Am very very happy with the watch....it goes well with a suit and equally at home with a pair of jeans. The alarm is functional, not a gimmick, and the watch just sits very nice... 

Excellent news!

Well, now you owe us some pictures! Enjoy, and welcome to the ever growing Amvox Family. Best, Nicolas

Congrats, PE!

Excellent choice! Wear your AmVox I in good heath! Hope to see a wrist shot soon. Best Blomman

Don't go for a watch winder, and...

Save your money for your next watch! Seriously, why do you need a watch winder? Your wrist is the better tool for your watch, and its box is the better location for a rest. No need to let it run all the time! Best, Nicolas
