It seems difficult to find one's way among all the versions...
And there is a lack of resources on the internet about the vintage Memovox models.
What do you think of a YG watch which has a 0,750 hallmark on the inside of the caseback but no hallmark at all on the case itself? Can such a case be 18k without a hallmark? Did they hallmark casebacks only?
I am just about to purchase it but I have this doubt...
Thanks again in advance.
A moment of poetry: Jaeger Lecoultre Memovox Parking, ref 3161.
On a desert rose, which allows to find the best angle in order to find a good light. It is not the watch I wear the most, but that doesn't mean that I don't love it. By far. Pure poetry. One detail I appreciate a lot is its manual movement. Winding it eve...
I have a fondness for this kind of crowns:

I'm not a connoisseur of these old JLC

Less is more
The Bauhaus phrase defines exactly my feeling when i wear mine: a steel 855. Perfect size, perfect patina on the silver dial, pure round shape, lovely historical piece, very 1960's... I find it EXTREMELY elegant. And a very practical complication. Just pe...
E 855 Ebene Dial. Cool. You should try to hunt a good set of crowns.
They are flatter than these ones. And an alarm disc as well. Here is a good and nice one: ...
Apparently there were many original configurations for this model...
What do you think of these dials and crowns? ...
1, 2 and 4 are E 855, but not Ebene dial which had a special dial and hand config.
The pic Nr 3 features a E 853. The Nr 4 has a total correct configuration for a E 855, and correct E 853, even if I would love to see better pics of the upper crown. The Nr 1 is all correct, at the exception, maybe, of the crowns. Too thick, at least from...

And there is a lack of resources on the internet about the vintage Memovox models. One doubt, regarding the gold versions of E855: What do you think of a YG watch which has a 0,750 hallmark on the inside of the caseback but no hallmark at all on the case ...
I particularly like the brown ostrich strap on this...
... goes well with the very light patina on the dial ... mmm, perfect!
