Tides of Time

Jan 12, 2011,14:50 PM
 

Now that I have just ordered the new DSA, to complete the collection of my NSA and Polaris, I wonder if I wont replace my brand new EWC for a Tides of Time EWA. That will be more in the way of an Alarm collection. What do you think about that? Am I right?
Best regards.

Are you really sure you want to start an Alarm Collection, Marc?

You well also need to find the Polaris Tribute, the EWA, The MC Memovox, the Amvox I, the Master Memo, the Memo International, the NSA, and I don't even mention the Vintage ones... Really sure? Best, Nicolas.

Yes I want

My first JLC was a Memovox. my second one was the 1965 TTP, the tird was the NSA and i allways wanted to the Amvox 1 but I search a Titanium. I had to sell the Memovox to buy something else but I will buy the New edition. So... I like sport y watches, the... 

If you already have these one, you made the most difficult part of the journey, Marc.

So, in this case, this is different. Don't sell your Memovox, in my opinion, this is a nice one from the 90ies, no? You only have 3 to end the thema: The EWA, the Tribute to DSA, and the Memo international, or the " not international " to get ALL the mode... 

Difficult choice

It was a Memovox from 1995 (the birth of my daughter). But it is allready sold and I realy regret it... I didn't bought the new one (international ou normal one). I plan to do it but it will probably be the normal for its silver dial (the other are black ... 

I'm also thinking about completing my collection of modern and Vintage Memos, marc.

 
 By: amanico : January 13th, 2011-20:00
And among them, a MC Memo. I sold it, and from time to time, I'm thinking about buying another one, to complete the collection. We must be crazy. Best and thanks, Marc, for your kind words. Nicolas.

If see one...

 
 By: mamac : January 13th, 2011-23:41
Hi Nicolas, if I see one in the future, I'll keek you informed about. It will be a pleasure for me to help you after everything you do for all of us... ;-) Best. Marc

Thanks, Marc.

My 2 absolute priorities are the Vintage Pola 65 and the Master Memo black dial, manual wind, Cal 914. The MC Memo is my third target. And these 2 TT DSA, of course! Endless story, an endless delicious and awful story! Best, Nicolas.

Are you really sure..?! ;)

Hi Marc, If you have read some of my post here… You know how I am crazy about the Memovox series! That said you know what my answer will be to your question… But first I have a couple of questions: Is it only modern Memos you are after or are you greedy l...  

LOLOLOL, Blomman, if I am Vlad, YOU are the king.

 
 By: amanico : January 13th, 2011-19:50
Of the impalers! After such a picture, how many will you kill here, eeeh? I think you forgot the Master Reveil, which was bigger than the Master Memo, with a Cal 918 inside. I see that you couldn't resist to show your Vintage Pola 65... Best, Nicolas.

I will have to make a new pic…

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : January 15th, 2011-09:23
Or 2 – one modern and vintage… Not forgotten, my friend – as I stated in the criteria’s; only black dials. Best Blomman...  

Funny to see how both are appealing, due to the different metal.

 
 By: amanico : January 15th, 2011-09:25
I guess this is the sign of a well born watch? Best, Nicolas.

Indeed!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : January 15th, 2011-09:27
Saw the YG version in the metal not long ago… I got very tempted! Best Blomman

Are you crazy?

 
 By: mamac : January 13th, 2011-23:31
Are you crazy to show me such a picture? I won't be able to sleep in 2011 now... ;-) What a wonderfull collection. I am dreaming of a lot of those Memo.... I've allways been dreaming about the first one, the Master Memovox with crystal back when I bought ... 

Are you really, really sure, Marc?! :)

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : January 15th, 2011-09:39
To hunt all metals, all dial colours, everything that rings… That will be a long and hard quest! I wish you all the best on your journey! And the first step on that road would be to change your EWC to the EWA! Thank you, Marc - It looks like we are sharin...  

Oh my god!

 
 By: stromer : January 15th, 2011-10:28
Blomman, you are plain and simple crazy! What a picture! Very best, Martin

I know – tell me about it! :) [nt]

ROFLMAO! Now, if you pretend that you can't wake up in the morning...

Nobody will trust you anymore! TUBULAR BELLS! Best, my craaaazy friend. Nicolas.

LOL! :)

No one believes me when I say I overslept… Best Blomman

Enough Already!

Hi Blomman Great photo - think it confirms my opinion of just sticking to one Memovox. Though I will admit to a few more alarms - getting dragged into multiple Memovoxes might be a never ending story. Cheers JML

Indeed – never ending…

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : January 15th, 2011-15:55
Thank you, JLM! There are still many missing! The hunt goes on… Best Blomman

You may want to start a hotel wake-up service. :-))

 
 By: boa2 : January 15th, 2011-18:14
I'm speechless...an unbelievable (dare I say, alarming) collection!

Thank you, Boa!

 
 By: blomman Mr Blue : January 16th, 2011-10:24
Interesting idée – will think about it! Best Blomman

marvelous collection, Blomman!

Sometimes I tend to go overboard…! Thank you, PSV! Best Blomman

Keep the EWC

 
 By: respo : January 13th, 2011-08:28
Back when I was trying to decide on WHICH alarm to get from JLC, and before I found out I could get the TTP 65 (indeed, the last one!), I thought about trading in my EWC for the EWA. It was a momentary flirtation and a foolish thought. The EWC is such a p... 

I agree with you but...

 
 By: mamac : January 13th, 2011-08:55
I love sporty watch. That's why I bought the EWC but ... I love the alarms. I have the Tribute to Polaris 1965, I ordered the new Deep Sea Alarm, I allready have the Navy Seals Alarm so, even I like the EWC for it's Extreme World, I was thinking that the ... 

I finaly took the plunge...

 
 By: mamac : February 11th, 2011-09:37
I finaly change the SIHH 2010 EWC for the Tides of Time. It goes very well in my collection : TTP 65, NSA, Diving Pro (just swapped with my Rolex Deep Sea) and the Tribute to Deep Dea (ordered). All of these are Diver Watches and/or alarms... I like it a ... 

Do you understand now...

 
 By: mamac : February 11th, 2011-10:14
Do you understand now why I hesitated to buy the Reveso Enamel (I still hesitate buy the way). And my wife is unhappy because she loved my Rolex Deep Sea. That was the watch she prefered from all my watches... :-( Best my friend. Marc

Congrats!
