True... But when your salesman is insistent that it is...
Totally agree that even at the best of times, we end up knowing more about the piece than the people actually trying to 'sell'it to us. My staple diet for the last couple of weeks has been trying to dig up every little facet of information about the NSA Incursion that I can like a drug addict looking for a quick 'Incursion' fix.
What hasn't helped though is the fact that both the Boutique manager and assistant manager were adamant that the Incurision IS DLC. Even when I raised up the question as to how likely that was - to their credit, I received both a Christmas card and a separate fact sheet printed (assuming from the JLC in-house database) stating the name of the piece was an "MC Memovox Navy Seals Alarm Beverly Hills Edition DLC" as well as separate material that goes through difference between PVD and DLC. I'll post the photos of the sheet up on Tues (left it at the office) in a separate thread (I can't believe I'm off-topic in my own thread)!
Such is life...
E873 reporting in on the cusp of 2012
Just thought I'd end my 2011 with a photo of my ever faithful E873 (given by my mother). Wishing all members a very Healthy, Prosperous & Thoroughly Eventful 2012!!! Hopefully, will have pictures of my NSA Incursion up over the next couple of weeks. It's ...
A Warm Welcome here, GreatCookie.
Lovely funky Memo you have here. Have a superb year t come soon, and don't forget to post pics of your promised NSA Incursion! Looking forward to reading you, Best. Nicolas
Many Thanks Nicolas...
...for your kind words. I've been a long time stalker around these parts and am consistently in awe of your (and other members) knowledge and contributions. Will definitely post up when I collect my Incursion. Best of Health Sir! Stephen.
Happy new year.
Look forward to hearing the story of your NSA incursion the day you revieve it. Lovely gif t from your mother, a watch that you clearly cherish. Best regards, George
And a very Happy New Year to you & family too George! + NSA Incursion Question...
Funny thing is that once I posted the previous pics of the watch, I couldn't seem to get out of my mind how 'awkward' the watch (and other 'funky' memovox) look by itself in pictures... Just had to take the camera out another time to try and do this watch...
Not DLC, but PVD.
Grey PVD for the 62, Black PVD for the 12. Definitely not DLC. Best, Nicolas. PS congrats for the very nice pics!
Once again Nicolas...
... An absolute wealth of information. Which is why I found it quite odd that the boutique insisted that the watch was indeed DLC. They even went to the trouble of mailing me a print-out of the JLC online catalogue listing which stated it was a "...Beverl...
Well, being a moderator or a salesman is not the same thing.
I don't have to face several clients who ask me several question about several watches at the same time. I have the time to check, and I have a lot of datas available in my computer or in our JLC forum. You should check the various posts about this watch....

Ok. What I will do is to ask to my contact at the Manufacture to confirm or infirm
This information... Will keep you updated. Best, Nicolas.
Many Thanks Nicolas!
Although the following info will not affect my purchase decision (as I'm still very much enamored by the piece), it will serve to lay to rest my doubts. Will await the answer with bated breath... Regards, Stephen. This message has been edited by GreatCook...
Welcome GC!
Very nice E 873 you have – and with original bracelet! Very nice! Love these Funky 70’s Memovox’s… Best Blomman
Thanks Blomman...
... But all credit goes to my mother who bought the watch for me whilst she was pregnant and kept it till my 21st Birthday. It then sat in storage until about 6 years ago when I then wanted to find out a bit more about the piece I'd been handed so many ye...
Your mother must be an excellent woman with great taste!
I like that you continue the tradition! And the Duetto is a lovely choice! Only trouble is that you need two of them… NSA – another great choice – a tad big for my personal preference… But I do enjoy it every time I wear it! Lookin...
