Hi Everybody!

After a bumpy road to JLC ownership, I've finally found myself one I think I'll keep smile

Love the watch.. but I'm not 100% sure how it works. I bought it with no box, papers or most importantly a users manual!  But I did acquire it from the coolest dude ever and at a price that justifies it not having these nice haves. I've got the time setting part down pat but I am not 100% sure how the alarm feature works. When I can have the crown out, when it should be in.. how much I wind it.. etc etc etc how the hell does this thing work?  Maybe its broken maybe I broke it? I have no idea what I'm doing

I was wondering if a very very kind soul who has a MCM might be able to either photocopy or photograph the users manual for me, so I have something to refer too??

I've tried searching for one but keep getting hits on Google for evil fake Memovoxs.. which are hideous and evil and I don't want to subject myself to these monstrosities!

Thanks sooo much in advance for reading my embarrassing post..  My first Alarm watch (well I did have a PAM 98 once but can't remember how that alarm worked either!)

And because we all like pictures...

Here's a quick and dirty of it taken by iPhone..



and here's the strap I'm having made to fit to it..  nice eh, its also going to have a nice bright red backing!

Is the Navy Seals Alarm the same?

I found this, is the MC Memovox operation the same? " Setting the alarm Winding Turn the compression key to the “open” position in the direction of the arrow. Crown A will then be in position 1. The alarm is wound by turning the crown clockwise. When wind... 

sounds like the same.

At the exception that, on the NSA, you can turn the crown

Clockwise for the Date, and anti clockwise for the Alarm. Best, Nicolas

Thanks everyone :)

You have good taste too!

I originally ordered this strap combo a year ago when I bought a MC Geographic. I ended up moving the watch on and the strap maker was so accommodating, he sold it on and we cancelled the deal. So that picture he posted is my original designed strap (I th... 

So, you finally found this one! :)
