Individualistic......
Hi MW,
Hmmm.....
If you ask me to choose from the two,i would prefer the black to the white ones.
Black with the two case in black definately bring out the out look from far and the dial's combi are far more masculine and have this racing-hot blood flows in your adrenaline like impression.Whereas,
white ones looks much more formal with classy touch.
These are just my 2 cts thoughts....
Thanks.

p/s-but now causing me confusing to match with my Amvox ll,DBS.

JLC: The Amvox2 Chronograph Racing and Aston Martin Part3
PuristsPro.com The JLC Amvox2 Chrono Racing meets the Aston Martin DB9! Black or white dial? Excellent choice either way! Jaeger LeCoultre hand crafted, assembled, and decorated in the Vallee de Joux, Switzerland. Aston Martin, hand built in England. A pe...
strange
that the aston martin logo is green and apart from a limited editino of te AMvox1 (with a green dial, if I am not mistaken), the "british racing green" is less popular than orange. nice serie of pictures. I regret that the case is PVD titanium. A ceramic ...
Hello time2tic!
Maybe orange color is popular as it is bright to draw the eyes more? If you look at an instrument cluster, the indicator of the speedo, rpm's,etc it is wise to use this color. I think JLC was invoking the racing partnership that they have had with Aston M...
by ceramic I meant ...
not a ceramic coating but the massive ceramic case of the Amvox 3 which is the "new material" and finish that impressed me the most by far. JLC has invested in the equipment to produce the ceramic cases ( Amvox 3, reverso polo fields) and the equipment to...
The AMVOX1 R-Alarm in green
The AMVOX1 R-Alarm employed a green that may have reflected the green of the AM logo, if it did not accurately duplicate the color. But my impression has been that version of the AMVOX1 was not the most popular perhpas due to the colr or perhaps to the si...
The Green of the Amvox I R
Is the British Green Racing... Another link to the wrold of super cars... Best, Nicolas
JLC: Aston Martin DB9 Part4
Nothing could be more impressive than pulling up to the JLC Beverly Hills Boutique in a Aston Martin DB9. The roar of the V12's 470 hp had everyone's attention. Ms. Francesca Smith, PR Manager for AM North America arrives in style! Cool watch...check! Coo...
Although I would be very happy with an AM V8,
The DB9 is my Dream Car.... Fantastic pics, Ming! Thanks for sharing this pure moment of Beauty. Best, Nicolas
Thanks Nicolas, wait until you see the videos of this....
Coming soon in Part5.... -MW This message has been edited by DRMW on 2009-08-03 02:05:24...
I love the photo reports on such JLC events as these
For some reason they make me very happy. Thanks for posting so many great photos of sme lovely watches. Ming, was that your Rossi Chrono in one of those shots? Nice!!!! Did you try on the AMVOX3? respo
Yep!
Hello respo! Thanks for the compliments and glad you are happily enjoying the photos! You have sharp eyes, I was wearing my favorite JLC that day...my MC Chrono 46! I was fortunate enough to spend some wrist time with all three watches and could have star...
I think white dial
I am a little heavy on black dial watches at the moment, so a white dial appeals to me more. I am also not a big fan of black cases in general, with some exceptions. You can't go wrong with either of these racing editions, though, can you? respo
I haven't decided yet....
if I am getting another one or not.... I agree though on the white dial I am thinking....... Maybe its a bit too much to have two........ Cheers
You already have the DBS, PP
So yes, it may be a bit too much... It wouldn't have been the seam if you had the First Amvox II... Although, even in this case... Best, Nicolas
Agreed, Respo
I hesitate a lot between the white and the black dial...With a very light preference for the white... As it looks a bit like a modern reinterpretation of the Paul Newman Chrono... But I will come back to spea about these 2 models in some weeks. Best, Nico...
Thanks for the impressive coverage.
Hi MW, You have all the aspect well covered,thanks. BHK9
Hello BHK9!
Thanks for looking! What do you think of these Amvox2 variants? Black Dial or White? -MW

Gorgeous!
The DB9 would be my choice out of the current Aston lineup. Looks like a fun event. Great cars, great watches, all in sunny Beverly Hills. It's a hard job, MW, but somebody's got to do it, right? You lucky, fella! Thanks for the great pictures and informa...
Good to see that you all were in excellent company!
Stephanie is a brilliant LADY. Hope you said hello to her from me. Best, Nicolas
they are very cool match...
weeks ago, we attended these Amvox and and Aston Martin lauch in Singapore. it is wonderful idea of using watch to control the car. of course the Amvox is great of itself. stefan
Great post Ming! These new Amvox2s are stunning...
I find myself very drawn to the white dial. It has a very special aura about it. The tractor beam has been activated...
2 more ( looooooooooooooong ) months to wait, Michael
I know what you feel! Best, Nicolas
I believe it will be well worth it.
I have handled some of the other Amvox chronos and they are all nice. A co-worker owns and frequently wears the RG LE version. It is stunning. But these new iterations have a very unique look to my eye.
I think.....
I think it's the partial open dial and carbon counter discs that makes this particular version so appealing. -MW
Thanks MichaelC!
"It has a very special aura about it. The tractor beam has been activated... " Michael you cannot resist! I see a white dial JLC in your future! What are your opinions of the strap? I felt that it was a great sporty match to the Aston Martin racing elemen...
i take back my initial impressions. i love the racing.
i initially didnt like the look of it, but these pics have changed my mind. the pics of the beautiful women in positions of responsibility within AM and JLC are also lovely to see. there's nothing more exciting than a beautiful woman with Power(not Margar...
Correct Graham!
Hello Graham! You are correct on the tranny is located in the back to accomplish the near 50/50 ratio that everyone strives for. I mentioned the carbon fiber drive shaft and the engine placement but forgot to tie it in with the gearbox. Thanks for remindi...
You're very welcome. I think the strap is awesome...
Clearly we see automotive cues in its design as well. Is the color behind the holes a light blue? It looks great IMO. It looks pliable and comfortable. Any other shots showing the clasp too?
The strap and clasp...
The strap perforation are white, I think my camera white balance setting/difusser makes it look that way. The deployant clasp is the JLC double deployant. I will have video up shortly of the watches. -MW
Very nice
Fantastic pictures, thanks a lot. Here's what i think on 2 new Amvox Racing: - i love the strap. The orange is fantastic with the black, and overall the racing aspect is perfectly conveyed - If i had to choose between the two, with no hesitation, the whit...
alunare, thanks for sharing your point of view !
Hello Xavier! Thank you for looking and sharing your opinions! Any other JLC's on your must have list? -MW This message has been edited by DRMW on 2009-08-03 14:28:44
As a matter of fact...
I had a EWC Rossi i traded off a couple of weeks ago because i found RG was too heavy for me and as i viewed the EWC as an everyday tool watch, it kind of defeated the purpose of having the heavy rose gold version. I had a 'basic' EWC that i got rid of la...
Glad to see you are coming around, Xav...LOL
I feel the exact same way about the SS EWC. I hope you get it back soon. Good luck. respo
Xavier
As you, I didn't like a lot the idea to see a new Amvox II... I'm an happy owner of the first version of the Amvox II, and it is still honeymoon. But the more I see this new one, the more I like it... I had the same reserves about the hour / minute hands,...
Whoa!
You ordered one already???? White dial, I assume? Excellent, my friend! After all, your other AMVOX2 might be lonely. LOL. Looking forward to your promised post on the racing AMVOXi. Best, respo
Which one....
did you order? and I thought that I was nuts wanting two Amvox 2 DBS....... Cheers
I think you are both crazy...
...but that is what the AMVOX2 does to otherwise, nearly sane people. ;-) respo
Thanks matrix!
Which one do you prefer? White or Black dial for the Amvox2 Chrono Racing, regular titanium or black PVD? -MW
Black dial with tit...
My question would be, which would scratch more easily?! PVD vs. Tit!?!? Thanks, Matrix.
It is ...
PVD coated titanium, Matrix. One of my friends has one for 2 years, now and wears it very often. No problems on his. Best, Nicolas
Thanks N, but...
I thought MW's question was "regular tit or black PVD"!? Thanks for the clarification... B well my friend, Matrix.
GREAT write up and GREAT photos
been lurking along thepurist sites for like 6 months...and I have always enjoyed your work... ever contemplated work as a photo journalist? THANKS AGAIN for a great writeup and photos...
