    I have 2 JLC Memovox Ref. 855, Cal. 825
    The only difference are the hands:
    one is with stick hands (which were coated with lumen by a previous owner) and the other one with dauphine hands (besides the redone dial of this one) - I wonder if they could be both originaly equipped with different hand sets - as I collect mainly Omega watches I am not an expert on JLC maybe some other member has an answer for me.

    Both those sets of hands are correct for the caliber 825 inside the E855. Whether or not they are original to each watch is something I can't say for sure.

    Actually more than 2 types correct for E855.

    Here is the 1st style- 1966 booklet

    Here's a 1967 advert. 2nd style

    Then here's the last style 1970 catalogue

    Finally, here's a Black dial, not restored.
