Superb choice!
Welcome to the forum!
I am really glad that you posted your impressions of the AMVOX2 Black Concept. When I saw the thread title, I was secretly hoping it was about this specific version of the AMVOX2, which has been on my mind a lot for a while now. I had one of the later versions of the DBS with the openwork dial, but eventually sold it. I also find the original generation more legible than the DBS generation A2s, and I feel the same way about the Black Concept, with the Black case being just right for this Concept watch.
I am glad you are enjoying this watch so much. Your enthusiasm may cause me to move on this one sooner rather than later...who knows?
Continue to wear the watch in good health,
Best,

2 Months with an Amvox 2 PVD
So if you asked me five years ago, would I ever purchase a watch like the Amvox 2, I wold have looked at you horrified. My first "good" watch was a Blancpain Leman Grande Date. Simple elegant, classic.... And then my tastes slowly evolved.... my first JLC...
Tinker, Tinker, Tinker...
I'm very happy to welcome you, especially after such a beautifully written post. A LOVE SONG! As you read all the posts on the Amvox II, you know my love for this watch, so we're on the same wave. The originality of the concept, which is unique, the young...
Great watch,
very happy to read such positive impressions about it. Thanks for the review and best of luck with it. Cheers, Filip
Phenomenal watch and...
the MOST understated (and underated) chronograph on the market today, IMO. Congrats! -Dean

I can't encourage you enough
I just spent the last three days with my GO Navigator... put on the Amvox2 today and --wow-- it;s SUCH a fantastic piece! I just love it. Particularly the black case and strap combo... The contrast from the pretty classic 70 year old design of the Navigat...
Congratulations great catch.
I am glad you like it. I had the same problem with the NSA. When the watch originally came out I did not like it at all. It was a no wat watch for me. Then I saw it in the flesh and aminico started to give me the history of the watch. After that i was dea...
Great piece and review!
And kudos to Seth at the BHB! Every time I see the AMVOX2, I am wowed by its technical details and its presence on the wrist. Love the PVD as well! Congrats on a great piece and a well written review!
wonderful post
thanks for sharing your passion, you made me want to put one on my wrist myself (not that I can dream of affording another watch). --Sancerre
Thanks again
Just looking at the watch again, I am so struck by its combination of classic and contemporary. It's clear evolution from the Polaris and amvox 1. And yet is this aesthetic masterpiece of originality. And I include the black pvd and strap in that opinion....
Agreed that the Black is more formal than the platinum.
A good friend of mine let me his Amvox II Black for a few days, and I have an excellent souvenir. Damn ... I have to go to the Bank to take mine for some wrist time! Since it was revealed, in December 2005 ( 6 years ago, yet! ) its look is very actual, wh...
BTW, it's not PVD on the case, it's black titanium...
which, when molten, has carbon poured into it to make it a certain color of black that is the choice of the manufacturer. Black steel (ala Breitling) is the same. The buckle, on the other hand, might be pvd over normal titanium. Only time and scratches wi...
PVD
Are you sure about that? I think I managed to have a tiny tiny scratch on an edge of the 1 o'clock lug, and I'm petty sure I see a miniscule bit of silver...
It's surely coated PVD
I received confirm on that from the JLC concierge, when inquiring about a re-coating. By the way they do not recommend any recoatings...
A Great Watch
and a truly original concept. Like yourself, I love the original AMVOX2 for its beauty, functionality and orginality. But sadly I won't be able to consider it just yet (still too expensive for me) while I am still saving up for the AMVOX1. The AMVOX 2 was...
Welcome to the Amvox Family
A real cool watch in our time, will it be cool in next 20 years, only time will tell but definitely will be part of history. a real pleasure to read your post I may advice you to get another strap with orange lining if you prefer sportier looks. totally c...
Congrats, Tinker!
It looks great on your wrist! I am no big fan of PVD coating or chronographs for that matter… But this one looks really good! Again, congrats – give her a good life! Best Blomman
me either
Nor was I into black or PVD...until I got one! Now when I wear a SS it looks.... gaudy to me! The black seems so under-stated and technically contemporary.
I had the same reaction with the AMVOX 1
But, after few days, the AMVOX 1 "grows on you". Congratulations for the report. Cheers
As we're talking about Aston Martin...
Congratulations to your decision! When I saw the first pictures of the Amvox 2 I thought I could resist, especially since I already had an Amvox 1. At a preview I had my first - and for many years to come only - encounter with the watches and the black PV...
Awesome Ambos--
Great strap choice-- I'm sticking with the the one it come with-- for one, my wife will kill me if I have another watch purchase.... for another, yours would be a strap I would probably wear on the weekend-- and I'm still in the honeymoon phase, and want ...
Inner beauty
Agree. The black in combination with titanium is definitely THE Amvox 2 for me. The lightweight of the watch despite its rather biggish size fits the 'technical' part of the watch nicely. I'm also not a yellow/rose gold person and also our wedding band is...
Awsome pics!
I'm amazed by the compactness of the movement! Re; cufflinks-- I wear both French cuff and button cuff...and never button either. One for the watch (even a slim one), and also because I guess I am slightly affected.... And I also just find it more comfort...
the other thing...
I love about this watch is.... it doesn't scream money. In fact, I've yet to notice anyone noticing it! Which is fine by me.... Ironic considering its cost.... But I love that it isn't flashy.... and yet that silver part of the dial gives it a unique "cla...
