Remembered Fondly: A Great Miami Watch
Feb 28, 2015,13:15 PM
Hi Thomas,
Thanks for brightening the day with this colorful gem. While it's raining today in Miami, I still feel as though this is the clear-cut Amvox for my subtropical corner of the world!
Down on the beach, the green/yellow tandem would feel consonant with the ecru-white of the sand and the azure blue of the water. Between this watch, several orange Paris boutique exclusive editions, the yellow Rossis, and the old Master Compressor Dualmatic Chelsea Centennial special edition, JLC offers a surprising number of "technicolor" options for exotic environs.
Best,
Tim

AmVox 1R - how many remember this early AmVox Limited Edition?
By: ThomasM : February 28th, 2015-11:39
JLC's cooperation with Aston-Martin has resulted in some interesting model lines. The 1R was the second, if I remember correctly, AmVox model. In British Racing Green and Speed Yellow, the dial layout was inspired by the dial design of the DB Aston models...
I do! :)

My dream at that time was the black PL version of the AMVOX I-R! Super cool watch + alarm! Thank you for sharing these shots, Thomas! :) Best Blomman

I really like the crisp Yellow accent against the black! And the pattern on the alarm disk is another bonus on this version! :) Best Blomman
Hmmmhh..Sounds tempting but first have to save for planned projects., ;)

..Dr Mamadu has to wait a little bit; hopefully not too long but as I am still on special diet.. .. That nice 6542 is waiting, in any case (and maybe one of the 2015 novelties ?) But Thx kindly, very much appreciated ! Warmest regards for this Sunday !! h...
For sure that I remember ...

Had one offered years back but the green dial was, at that time, a bit out of my taste. Now, if one shows up ... I grab it with two hands. Cheers, Nilo

I do, I do!

And I think I may still hunt one some day. I never forget this one with the green dial. Great to see it again, Thomas. Thank you for the reminder. Best, respo
I've got a photo of this titanium AmVox
By: cazalea : February 28th, 2015-20:16
I tried it on during my first trip to JLC, which the photo meta-data says was on 14 June 2005. I have wished several times that I'd bought one back then, but it seemed a bit large at the time. Mike ...
Let the trashing begin

but this is still my very favorite AmVox Sincerely D
Definitely not....
By: Ares501 - Mr Green : March 1st, 2015-06:43
AmVox II is cool but this "poisonous" green yellow combo is top for me Yours D
:) but maybe...
By: Ares501 - Mr Green : March 1st, 2015-09:40
AmVox 8 will be red & white ;)
I'd forgotten about that
By: jml_watches : March 1st, 2015-11:42
Hi I'd forgotten about that to be honest - though don't know why. Stunning watch - green dial looks ace, really love the green strap too - is that what it came with originally? Cheers JML
This is my favorite, by far!
By: watchme : March 2nd, 2015-07:07
I would have loved a green strap with matching yellow stitching. For some reason, the alarm on this one resonated the best (I tried all of them): the volume, purity, etc, was just awesome. I'd still like one. -Dean
Favorite, huh? interesting...
By: ThomasM : March 2nd, 2015-07:53
Hi, Dean, I'm surprised how fondly this variant is remembered by so many. It didn't sell that well when current - many NOS available many years afterwards - and of course the colors can be immediately offputting to most. But I'm glad the "mental patina" h...
Like that, huh?

Just as long as long as you remember to attribute it to ThePurist...LOL! Hope all\'s well, D.
