The JLC memovox is iconic and highly sought after, I examine it to get an idea of the parts it may need, even a scrap movement for parts wouldn't come cheap.

You didn't show the LeCoultre's movement, that too is collectible, not that bulova 22 jeweler is not collectible and eye catching. Whats inside the Voumard?

I was able to find what case it belonged to but no back.

nice catch....as Nucejoe said, the JLC's is very collectable, I would go for a repair

My plan is to send it to Watch Repairs USA unless one of you can DM me that you can do it or knows someone who can or a reason not to use Watch Repairs USA.  Anyone?

Thanks markr. The movement has an AS look to it.

As for the memovox, you can come up with an estimate of repair cost yourself, this will be useful in choosing the best course of action for repair. First lets find out what parts is your watch missing or needs, since price of part can quickly add up to a forbiding sum in which case you would be better off with a suitable  scrap movement, then what kinda work it needs, if its just a clean and lube and replacing a part or two, you really don't need a master reapirman and can get by with a reasonable figure for the labour. 

Just sending it in you might run a risk of a heart attack.

meant the voumand has AS look.

    this reminds me of trying to find a "silver pocket watch case repair man"   AND  which one to send it to and trust.  vin

      What is this tool !

      By mikepilk · Posted

      I was pleased to pick up a selection of some tools on ebay (v cheap 🤣), and they've just arrived,  I've been looking for a crystal press for a while, and this one is ideal But in the selection is this thing - what is it for?  (it's about 3" long) Something to do with stem tubes?

      You'll have to strip it back anyway.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By Neverenoughwatches · Posted

      I think I've heard that more than from just Alex. That doesn't make it right though, but I'm convinced i saw some literature diagram explaining why to do that. There must be good info here in the archives, I'll have to have a dig around.

      That will mean dismantling the gear train, which with 5 pivots to align was a pain. Probably going to have to though. I'm convinced it's something to do with the great wheel.

      Epilame / Fixodrop

      By VWatchie · Posted

      As far as I know, the only time an epilame treatment has potential drawbacks is when something is rubbing on the treated part w/o lubrication in between creating abrasive dust. That is, I don't believe in the method of "running the watch to make a groove through it first in the pallet stones where the lubrication is then placed". So, I think the rule would be; do not epilame treat parts where rubbing is going on without lubrication. Other than that I don't think we have anything to worry about. That said, I'm not an expert, and I'm always happy to learn more. Has any other repairer than Alex suggested or explained the "making-a-groove" method? My impression is that it's just something he constructed in his mind. I have not perceived it as a generally practiced method. Again, I could be wrong!
