JLC Memovox Boutique Edition - Thoughts?
I recently made a trip to my local JLC AD and tried on this boutique limited edition Memovox. It actually looks pretty nice, but after a 10 year gap since my last JLC purchase ( Master Compressor Chrono), I was wondering what your thoughts were on this particular model.

I like it. I would need to see a significant discount before I would purchase as my experience with JLC is that they do not hold a value unless you purchase pre-owned or significantly discounted from an AD.

Thanks, appreciate the feedback. I do like it, but as someone mentioned it would need to be purchased with a significant discount based on residual values of jlc in general.

Good point. The residual values are pretty low on jlc. I will see what, if any, sort of discount the ad may be prepared to give. Thanks for your feedback.

I really like the blue memovox. An interesting complication, great color, and great brand.

Modern or vintage the Memovox is my favorite JLC. I'd say get it.

The history of the Memovox is fascinating. I suspect once you know more about the history you will be entranced.

Fair enough. I have some reading to do.

The blue is nice, but I prefer the standard hour makers more, and I'm not all that interested in an alarm complication.

There is a RDM with blue dial that looks fantastic. The RDM, Master Moon, and Master Calendar are my 3 favorites in that price range.
