I'm very happy with the patina. All the hands, dial, and pearl match.

I think there is a lot to be said for the transitional 16800, as you alluded to.

Thanks and HAGWE to you too, Nicolas.

The Navy Seals Alarm, Daos.

 
 By: amanico : September 26th, 2009-00:09
It may be considered as the one which replaces the MC Memo. Best, Nicolas

But it is an LE, right?

 
 By: dxboon : September 26th, 2009-00:10
Do you think there will be a regular production version? Cheers, Daos

Right, Daos

 
 By: amanico : September 26th, 2009-00:16
That's why I wrote " It MAY be considered ". This is a LE of 1500 pieces, which is a lot for a LE. My guess is that I don't see JLC introducing a current production in a close future, because the NSA is here, and it would be a bit risy to double the offer... 

Yes, I do think you are right.

 
 By: dxboon : September 26th, 2009-00:30
The NSA will serve in the Memovox's stead for now. Still, I'd love to see an homage to a vintage Memo, maybe in a fun color combo like your Speedbeat. Time will tell, I guess. Cheers, Daos

Aaah, in this case

 
 By: amanico : September 26th, 2009-00:42
This is totally different.... Here again, this is just my guess, but this is a pity that there is no dressy Memovox in the catalogue since 2006 ( Master Reveil ). I can't imagine that JLC won't release another Dressy Memo. Yes, it would be great to see a ...

Nice strap and watch

 
 By: deBalzac : September 25th, 2009-10:57
The cordovan strap will get an even nicer patina when you use it for a couple of weeks. Its scratch easily, but the scratches are also easy to buff out. And it smells better than any other types of leather.

you need to check out...

Are the minute and second hands bent?

 
 By: AndrewD : September 26th, 2009-23:06
Are the minute and second hands bent to follow the crystal, Daos? Perhaps it is a photographic aberation? Particularly nice couple of photos. Thanks Andrew

All the hands are bent

 
 By: dxboon : September 26th, 2009-23:27
The second hand in particular curves downward in a graceful arc. I think the bent hands are a nice touch. Thanks for the kind words about my photos. I'm working hard on improving my photography. Cheers, Daos

I think it's supposed to help improve the time-telling experience...

 
 By: dxboon : September 28th, 2009-21:34
...by alleviating a bit of the visual distortion caused by the curvature of the crystal. Also, I think the bending is an indicator of the watchmaker's "touch." Daos
