MEMOVOX / AVMOX

 

Hi All,

New to the forums here smile JLC has always been one of the watches I wanted to get for my small, but slowly growing collection. Recently I have purchased a Panerai PAM 233, and I was thinking about getting an AP ROO next, but I have now been drawn to more 'collectible' items such as the PAM 127, PAM 249, and a couple of JLC watches I will discuss below.

To the JLC watches, there are 2 watches that caught my eye. The first is the MEMOVOX Tribute to Polaris. The second is the AVMOX1. Now I understand that the Memovox Tribute to Polaris was a limited edition to 768. Not sure about the AVMOX1, any insight? I understand that these watches are no longer in production, and I am trying to source them from a collector in Singapore, hopefully I get lucky.

Anyhow on to my question. Could you guys let me know what makes the MEMOVOX tribute as well as the AVMOX1 so special? I love the look of the watches. I have fairly big wrists so the 42mm diameter would be just right! Do you guys have any preferences or suggestions, and would the Polaris be more of a collectors item than the AVMOX1 several years down the line?

Appreciate any and all input smile

Rahul

A Polaris is ... A POLARIS

My 2c, I own an AMVOX1, SS, and I'm very happy with this watch. See my two month report: click here. I consider the AMVOX1 "on pair" with the Polaris (The tribute) with one advantage that is the sapphire crystal, compare with the plastic one from the Pola... 

Don't think "collectible ", Rahul. Think " Pleasure ".

- The Amvox 1 is a reinterpretation of the Polaris, and was a limited production ( 2005 / 2008 ). I can't give you the numbers of Amvox I produced during these 4 years, as I don't have them. - The Tribute To Polaris 68 was released in 2008, in a limited e...

Hello Rahul, I agree with both Nilo and Nicolas, as they point out there is some differences on these two even if they look very alike. The most obvious is the plexi vs the crystal, but also the movements on these. The TTP has the quick set date function ... 

Both are special watches...

but no one can say if either will prove to be collectable in the future. The Pola is a re-edition of a very collectable, iconic watch from teh '60s. But will that make the Tribute to Polaris collectable??? No one knows. I thin it took the original quite s...
