AMVOX3 question
Just curious, it's my first Jaeger, and I just received it last week. It's an AMVOX3 in pink gold, I'm hypnotized by its beauty.. but I do have one question.. on the back where it says XXX/300 the XXX part is sort of faint, like they inscribe it after the fact. The font is therefore not black, it's like engraved in the metal. Does this make sense? I wish I could take a proper photo, I don't have a macro lens for my SLR yet.
The watch was ordered through a reputable dealer, it was sealed, the box was sealed, etc. It's definitely legit, I was just surprised with the engraving.

No worries here.
It is usual. Here a picture of a Master Minute Repeater case back: Best, Nicolas...
Very interesting
to see this is the case with the engraving! I did not notice it before you guys pointed it out! Thanks for the pic Nicolas!
hmm
Interesting. I wonder why this is the case. I mean, why wouldn't they just sequentially number them in production, then just sell them in order or something? I don't imagine they build a small amount, I imagine they build the entire allocation and then in...
Once they gave me the explanation, but I can't remember it.
Will ask again... Anyway, I agree with you on the 5960P rather than " doubling " the Amvox III with a platinum version. Best, Nicolas.
thanks
...agree, although when I look at the gold Amvox3 I now realize the face on the Platinum is probably "sharper" to look at. Either way I'm very happy with this watch. It's subtle, yet elegant, amazing to look at --- and no one knows what it is, which is wh...
I like it exactly for the same reason than yours.
Nobody knows what it is, exactly... It is a personal pleasure. A watch which you can really appreciate in the real life, rather than in pictures. A great opus. Best, Nicolas.
