MC Memovox vs Amvox I
Hi all,
I'm hearing a lot of rumours about the discontinuation of the Master Compressor Memovox and the Amvox I. If this is true there is short time left to pick up a JLC with the 918 Calibre. Of course there is the new 956 Calibre but still (did you notice that JLC numbers their Calibres the same way as Porsche does their cars and IMHO the 956 was the best race car ever built, but now back to watches). What I have heard and read the 918 Calibre is a pretty reliable one. So the MC Memovox and the Amvox I should be a good choice either way. But what are the differences between these watches besides their looks. The MC Memovox is more waterproof, but is it also more shock proof? And more anti magnetic? Or is it just the looks that put these two apart? Hope you guys can help out here. Oh yeah, and which of these two do you like better? I think my vote for looks has to go to the Amvox.
Best,
Starman
