Thanks
Think it was also one that if I didn't get it on the day as wanted to consider it more the watch would probably have gone & then would have regretted not saying yes to it.
Think highlighted by fact that there was a second one of this available & it was this one that gave me the buzz.
Definitely the right decision

Memomatic - my first Omega purchase
Hi All As some of you might be aware I have a weakness for alarm watches and have a small number of them. I think it comes from liking the the idea of a repeater, but the dawning realisation I could never afford one - but there are other watches that make...
Thank you - a Memomatic had been below the radar for a while
Think as soon as became more aware of it, it was a case when not if. Cheers JML
congrats on a great Omega and it won't be your last
The Memomatic was powered by a lemania sl 980 movement which was the best competitor of the JLC 916 even though more pleasant to hear than the Memovox. It is like any lemania movement very accurate and reliable. Congrats on your purchase and wear it in go...
Thanks - been reading more up on it recently
The fact that have hours and minutes to set alarm is a stand out feature. The alarm is more subdued than my Memovox, though that is a more recent version. Cheers JML
Huge congratulations JML. A full set one, well played 👍
Now, I'm waiting for your "train/commuting shot" 😉 Best wishes Alkiro
Thanks - working on the standard themes
Need a commuting shot , a drinking picture & one on the beach or near the sea. I'm sure there's more! It's been good to add to the gang
Just seen a blue dial version for sale in Lisbon
Amazing condition too. Sorely tempted but there's a blue dial GP alarm out there somewhere with hopefully my name on it..... Cheers Giles
Know that feeling
We might want to get everything - but sometimes we have to keep the powder dry for what we really want. Good hunting. JML
You're the alarm master, JML!
And the Memomatic looks absolutely stunning! Congratulations But with the Urushi on the one and this on the other, you'll be running out of wrists...
Still some way to go!
Thanks - it's was one of those watches that if you decline it you regret your delay. I think I trail a few others here by quite a large margin when it comes to alarms, especially where it comes to Memovoxes ( I've stuck at one as it's a slippery slope) I ...
Congratulations!
There are moments like this that you immediately know the opportunities arise are right.
Thanks

Thanks - really pleased with it
Expanding the family starts to get a bit harder now. Currently enjoying my latest edition, though in true Purist fashion there's always something else to consider in the future. Cheers JML
As Socrates might have said . . .
. . . "Either the man makes the watch, or the watch makes the man. If you're really lucky, it's both in equal measure." Can't think of another Omega that would be more you, nor a Purist who would be better matched with a Memo. Vicariously, Art
Thanks - was a great choice as a first Omega
Even though I own two Omegas - it's the first that I actively chose. There is plenty to like about it - as I said earlier the fact that I've worn it every day is a good indication of making a good decision. Cheers JML
A very nice watch in outstanding condition! Glad to hear you found it and that it satisfies yourself!
How old is it? And how would you compare alarm accuracy compared to the Memovox? As it can be set to the minute, can it really by off at the minute? Thanks again for sharing, your collection is impressive! Looking also forward to seeing your commute shot ...
Thanks - condition helped with decision
Also fact that it was just back from an Omega service - so unlikely to be running any better. Think based on serial number it's from 1972 - so 45 years old. Good to know even at this age Omega still has the parts & will service them. I can only comment ba...
Thank you for all these answers and information!
I really like the Memovox and hopefully will own one one day. Best, É.
