    I posted this in an existing thread earlier without receiving any replies, so I'll try again with a separate thread.

    There is a good looking Memovox on the bay, I'm considering putting in a bid, but would love to hear from people with more experience on the brand.

    It's a K815 automatic which appears to be all original and in good condition.
    The description is quite extensive, and the dial is described as all original.
    Would you agree?
    I have not seen this color on the inner dial on other examples, but I'm not an expert on them.

    I'm looking forward to your comments!

    This is also on my eBay watch list.
    I’ve always liked these and the 37mm size seems perfect for a dress watch.
    My knowledge is also limited but this does look like a nice one. Interested to see what others have to say.

    This seller from Malta often sells many JLC examples which are in very nice condition and usually have the full European signature. As such, they usually command a premium and you may not get a great deal.

    The watch in questions looks very nice with even patina to the dial and lume dots. Text looks good as well.

    It is tough to tell whether the inner wheel is a replacement but it looks good IMO. The whole watch seems to have developed a deep patina with the wheel darkening more.

    However, if you don't like this one, the seller lists quite a few Memos and I am sure you will find one soon!
