Bought these two today at a yardsale for a bargain!
Both the crowns are signed
Wow. Very curious -- much is a "bargain" price at a yard sale for this JLC?

Both are excellent watches, but that Memovox is killer. I need to go to yard sales with you.

Minus the Hublot, of course. 😜😎

It's just the glas that needs to be replaced,
The dail is in good condition it has faded to a light brown yellowish color ?
But otherwise it's great, I love that the original crowns are still in its place😀

I'm not that well informed about vintage jaeger😀
When I first bought it I thought that it's just was a regular memovox ,the regular more commun ones are just mechanical right? But this one is a bumper ? I haven't seen this one irl before ..

Probably Memovox auto looks more like this. Not a bumper. Yours looks to be a later model. Very nice. Kudos.

That's just stealing. The Memovox looks great. The inner disk is supposed to be a slightly different color than the outer disk. The yellow patina is quite normal and looks attractive to me. You did great. Splurge for a GF Memovox bracelet since the watch cost you next to nothing!

Here's some more info on the Memovox if you want to read up.

There's one on eBay now for $1,200 but the seller is taking offers. They pop up from time to time. I've seen sell prices range from $500 to $1,300.

This particular model is at the high end of that range. It has a Swiss made case, is automatic and is a Jaeger-LeCoultre, not a US market model.

All are "plus" attributes.
