Today I am truly happy! :-)
Why? Because today my old beloved beater is back on my wrist!
After a too long absents of wrist time and affection from my part, she is now back on my wrist.
And every time I look at her she makes me smile.
What made me realize I hadn’t worn her in a long time was this rare bird I saw this week end…
The Mater Compressor Memovox in white gold.
A true beauty!

PS. Sorry for the quick and dirty pics – this post wasn’t planned. I just felt the urge to give her the appreciation she deserve!

Old loves are not to be forgotten, Blomman.
As you speak about some luxury variations on the Master Compressor Memovox, what about this one, my friend, the platinum version: The MC Memo is indeed an important part of the JLC History. The first Master Compressor watch, a kind of modernized Legend wa...
WOW
First, I was already totally captivated by Blowman's picture of the white gold, but the platinum!!!! I am already reaching for my credit card. Thanks to you both for sharing. --Sancerre
Well, don't hurry in finding your credit card.
Only 200 pieces released in 2003 / 2004, and the price is ... let's say ... a bit pricey. Best, Nicolas
Like Nicolas pointed out…
If the WG version is rare, the PT version is even harder to find… Unfortunately… Thank you for your comment, Sancerre! Best Blomman
Other than the case metal...
were there any other differences (e.g., dial color) onteh WG or Pt. versions compared to the SS? Nice to see these rare birds. Didn't you uzsed to own one of these, Vlad? In your early JLC days? Best, respo
It is simple, Respo.
The SS came with the black dial. The WG came with a slate grey dial, while the platinum had the blue dial. In 2002, I owned one in SS, indeed. I sold it 3 years after to go on the Amvox I Titanium. Now, I wonder if I won't get another one, in SS, to compl...
The blue is really appealing, Rik.
But I' wondering if I wouldn't get rid of it, after a while. The black is the safer choice, IMO. Therefore, is platinum the best choice for a diving watch? And the price is not the same, by far! Best, Nicolas.
Indeed they are not to be!
Our faithful everyday beaters are easy to forget… They have been with us for years, always by our side, but it’s easy only to talk about the new stuff… Ah, yes the PT version That one was on my dream list, but I must confess that today I prefer the WG gre...
I'm seriously thinking about it, my friend.
It will fit in my collection, no doubt about that. Therefore, it is a very special watch, a pleasant retro look, not the nicest, for sure, compared to the Amvox I or the NSA, but not ininteresting at all. I think that, to describe it, I would say that it ...
No hurry with this one, many still out there…
But indeed you should! Best, my friend Blomman
I always like to see this one on your wrist, Blomman
And I think I know how you feel -- I feel the same whenever I do not have my "beater" on my wrist for any period of time. I strap it on, and it is like an old friend come to visit. I still admire the MC Memo very much. Very much. Best , my friend, respo
You said it, Respo!
Like an old friend! Or like I use to think – like coming home..! Home, where it’s safe, comfortable and everything is like it should be! Thank you for your kind words! Best, my friend Blomman
Thank you, Stefan!
Maybe one for your ever growing Memo collection? Best, my friend Blomman
Good to see
this watch is back in your affection. That's what it deserves. Please look after it This watch is on high my wishlist. Some day it's going to be there. Already looking forward.
Will definitely look after her!
Thank you, Maverik! Hope you get yours soon, it’s a wonderful watch! Best Blomman
Love that Memovox, Blomman!
I've been on the fence about it for quite some time, but I'm getting closer!
You should, PSV!
It’s one of the really nice modern ones! Thank you, PSV! Best Blomman
I'm happy that your happy blomman...but... I'm not happy....
Because I miss mine a lot :-( It's a great watch. Drew...
Ough, Drew..!
Say you didn’t! Why – it looks perfect on your wrist! Thank you, hope you change your mind about this one… Best Blomman
