Amvox 1 and Master Compressor Geographic..I need your help
Gentlemen
I am a longtime lurker and occasional poster at the Purists and over the years have owned /collected and sold on a number of watches but never a JLC ( I know, I know...I'm a fool ;-) ), but I have always had an appreciation for the brand.
Well I think its about time. I am caught between two models, the Amvox 1 in stainless steel and the Master Compressor Geographic . I know that the two watches are different but I would like to hear your opinions and comparisons on them. Also is the Amvox 1 waterproof and if so to which depth?, is the alarm movement robust ( I wont be doing anything more than a some traveling / beach / swimming / and light hiking ) . Does the rubber strap available for the Geographic fit the Amvox?..what do you think?.
Finally any photos / wrist shots of the two would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks for your time, I look forward to reading your replys. James.
