It didn't leave my wrist for 4 days, now!
The good thing is that even if its size is modest, 36/ 37mm, as the dial is open, and the case has good proportions, it's a very pleasant watch to wear.
And the particularities of this Memovox make it very appealing!
Thanks, Mostel, for the nice words!
Best.

I coudn't hide it anymore
Here are some dirty and quick pics of my " new " JLC.... A Vintage Memovox, so called SpeedBeat, because of its movement. Review to come, when I'll finish to collect some complemetary infos! Best. Nicolas...
that is beautyful Nicolas...
congratulations. I didnt know this one. cant wait to read your review on it. Very "graphic" and simple and yet elegant I think. It gives me the thought that manywatches at the momement are over busy in their dial and case designs. Im beginning to think th...
Nice one Nicolas
Actually it is funny as I happen to wear a Full Blue 875 today... Congrats on your new watch. Step by step you are going vintage, be careful !...
Vintage? Me ???
LOL I'm afraid you're right, my friend... It's a long time I try to not answer to the Vintage Call, but it seems futile to resist! LOL Very nice All Blue Speed Beat, Clavi. I absolutely love these little part of tritium which bring a lot of charm to your ...
Two beatiful memovox!
If I understand well, the contact point between Clavi and amanico is now reached! With two men of great taste, I am not surprised that this happened with a very nice model, my favorite from all the memovox produced in the 70s. And in both cases, your watc...
I think I have an idea
I think I have an idea of what your vintage to come could be. I'll see if I am right shortly I guess
Normal, I gave you some big clues, Clavi
LOL Just the time to recieve it, and normally I will see its bezel at the end of this week... Can't wait to put it on my wrist... Best. Were you on it, too? Nicolas
well, I am only assuming
To see you so excited, I was thinking that only a European DeepSea Alarm could stirr you up so much. Still, there was the much followed Polaris last week, but you already have the same one, so it would be less fun. Appart from these 2, and a few 70's memo...
LOL, Clavi
I'm hunting some Vintage Memovoxes, but with a diameter of 35 or 36mm minimun, as I can wear them... Below this minimum, it will be problematic for me. And it's indeed a pity, as I know that YOU can buy very nice watches you don't wear... So, yes, I'm lur...
A beauty!
That watch would certainly not look out of place on a nice sailing boat. I like the blend of formal style and casual elegance.
These vintage JLCs are gorgeous!
I don't want to go there, much too dangerous. Pls. don't keep us in suspense for too long on your next revelation,Nicolas. Cheers Fernando
In fact you have disclosed your secret yesterday, Nicolas :-)
http://home.watchprosite.com/show-forumpost/fi-17/pi-2631041/ti-438496/s--4/ That's a real good-looking vintage! Congratulations and keep 'em coming! Marcelo
A beautifully aged masterpiece of classic design . . .
. . . made when mechanical watches were mundane necessities of everyday life. Somehow, I feel that current designs won't hold the same level of appreciation in the distant future because they're essentially luxuries from their inception. Grandpa's watch i...
Congrats Nicolas,
Very nice Vintage Memovox with Black and Silver (I suppose) dial. I also like the JLC at nine. Enjoy my friend before getting the next one (AMIII ?). It is a "Tourbillon" of watches and candy for our eyes.You really find and collect so wonderful watches. ...
Wow, are you saying that I bought yours?
Thsi would be an extraordinary coincidence, and a nice one! What makes you think that it was yours? The Strap? Best. Nicolas
Why hide it?
Thanks to both you and Clavi for showing us a few vintage pieces that are just gorgeous! I love witnessing the details and design elements that are passed down from generation to generation among the different JLC lines. What a great piece, Nicolas! Thank...
