my first impression for this Memovox International...

Blomman, wonderful review again! it has finally appeared here, really appreciate your objective thoughts as well as those details and features that you pointed out in the review. now have better understanding and idea of this piece!

indeed, this is a very nice watch, i am glad to see this new Memovox joining to your collection with his seniors in the box, they must be happy right now... it would be matter of time to see family photos of them, right

for me, i like new shape and new detail of the crowns, color of the dial, and also the solid and superb caseback.

one relatively weak point of this watch i find is the date window located too close to the center alarm disc, although it is minor point, if it can be moved off a bit away from the center, which would be perfect to me one more minor point as well, there is no "Memovox" word printed on the dial of this modern version?

by the way, regarding the world city on the center alarm disc, i just went to check with the JLC THREE Yearbook 2010. there is a pic of a vintage Memovox Worldtime. in the vintage Memovox, the alarm triangle mark was located with the New-York and Bangkok. but in the modern one, it is located with Samoa and Paris in which is the other direction in the old alarm disc. In addition to this change, some old city names are taken out and replaced with new city names. it would be interesting to understand how MJLC made the selection of city names?!

anyway, congrats on this new family member to your Memovox collection.

cheers,
