Thanks for the compliment, although I think that the Pola is an hommage to my love and madness to watches!
BTW, Welcome here, and hope to see you there often!

WOW Incredible post.  Great history of the Memovox.  I wonder how much different my MC Memovox would sound with that 'open' caseback!!??

Your Memovox Compresor sounds like an old alarm clock.
This Polaris sounds like a big frog in love! LOL

This time it was a different hunting.
Usually I hunt pieces, in this case I was hunting pics.
Also very niteresting...As I discovered some odels I didn't know, as the Memovox Deep Sea Alarm US model.
Now, I'm in trouble, as I love this piece, and I'll hunt it!LOL

what an amazing job my friend !

I was lucky enough to see your Polaris in the flesh yesterday and it is a beauty....!

By the way, I have found in my records more pictures of the "inners" of the baby. They might be of interest:

 

For the pics too!
I was searching for a nice pic of the movement and of the interior of the Case Back, now I get them!
Best!
Nicolas

glad I could help...

Awesome. Really helpful and insightful stuff.

Don't ever stop.

So, now, you just have to feed it up with your pics!



Best, my friend.

my usb sockets have blown. WIll be a while before i get replacement USBs so no Pics.

Besides, i don't have "much" to show. Maybe by Friday?

Take your pills with you, my friend, it seems that many nice watches are waiting for you!



Best,

Nicolas

I have taken the Polaris 65 now. Its in NY so will be a little while before i see it. Watch is mint except the missing outer caseback. Finding a "solution" to that will be great fun.

But I am not sure I will go down the path of the 68 too.... but i have an interesting angle on that watch...hahahaha

See you Friday.... toys at al.

First enjoy the 65, and then you'll see if you take the path to the 68...

Both are so different that it may be of interest to get them all.



Best, my friend.

Nicolas

. . . thanks so much, especially for the photos of the groovy cushion case Master Mariners - now that's a watch for the ages! Cordially, Art

It was a great pleasure to make it.
The Polaris Rules!

This is the definitive work on the Polaris.

It will certainly have a Part II, in a few weeks, for the happyness of all of us, Polaris Watch nuts!
Thanks for the nice words, SJX.
Nicolas

I will definitly have to add a Polaris in my collection one day .

I saw 3 for sale in one week, and 2 were sold quite immediately, at a quite high price...
Hurry, my friend, or jump on the ré edition!

Thanks for this nice report and the so many beautifull picture´s, the funny thing is i don´t or didn´t have a lot with vintage watches, but sometime´s i see some that do something to me, so please stop with al this beautiful stuff !!!

 

Cheers,

The Vintage topic is something quite dangerous.
It needs some homework, researches, and a lot of efforts, to get all the interest, the passion of the Vintage watches.
At the end, you will get the Virus! LOL
The patina is the evidence of the History the biography of the watch...
You guess the stories it lived, it's fascinating, and all the modern watches won't give you this feeling.
Even if the modern watches have of course other interests, nad beauty, too...
This Polaris is one of the best example, IMHO, of the passion, and the feeling it can bring you.
Thanks for the nice words!
Nicolas

Fantastic job. thanks. Vintage memovox are my prefer ones. I enjoy my father's one every day:

A pleasure to see you here, you, Memovox Lover!

Tell me, the strap on your Memovox is a recent one, no?

It looks like the one I have on my 70eme....

Hope to see you more often here, and that you'll post some more pics of this fantastic Memovox!

Best to you, and Thanks for the nice words.

Nicolas.

Glad to see you got it back and in such wonderful condition. 

Congratulations!

True!
We were together when I gave it at the Paris Boutique for a total service!
Nice to see you here, and hope you will come more often!
Best, Eric!
Nicolas

And you're so kind when you say " well written", as my english doesn't give justice to this treasure...LOL
Best.
