Bought this really nice Lecoultre earlier today for a good price. It is in great condition with original crowns and original case finish. However, what I didn't realize is that I think the watch is supposed to read MEMODATE not MEMOVOX? TO me it doesn't look redialed or atleast it is very nicely done...... What do you all think?

 

What makes you think it’s a redial? I’m digging the Art Deco hours

 

What year is it?

Edit: could you share the serial? I had an early LeCoultre Wrist Alarm, which was the earlier name for the models.

 

Original factory dial, no question in my mind.

 

...and hands.

 

I think the OP's concern may be the possibility that the inner disk has been swapped, which does happen pretty often. I have no idea in this case, but I suppose the way to figure it out might start with knowing the specific reference. According to this, the watch is from circa 1965.

Good point about the inner disc. being swapped. Had not thought of that.

 

I'm not a collector of these, but from what I've seen it's entirely correct; there are plenty of clearly original examples like that—here's one on the bayPurchases made through these links may earn this site a commission from the eBay Partner Network at the moment:
