Hi there community,
I'm considering buying this Memovox... I have the feeling that it's a redial, and that the hands have been replaced... What do you think?
I would very much appreciate your opinion!
cheers,
Giovanni

Has anybody seen this Memovox World Time that's for sale?
We've all read the article on Hodinkee stating 99% of those are fake redials. How about this one?

That would be right - the Master Compressor line came out in 2002 (remember it well and it was a polarizing design at the time), and the first versions of this watch had "Memovox Automatique" on the dial, where the later versions just have "Memovox" on the dial. I can't say the exact transition date, but I bought mine back in 2007 and it just has Memovox on the dial...
I guess this when the JLC extract comes into play. The seller says it’s all original but I’d explain that I’m going to order an extract as well and if this doesn’t come back as world time then I want my money back. It’s not super cheap so if in doubt I’d probably pass.
For JLC fans, please note - they now offer an 8 year warranty:
