What time is it? Watches and horology

It's a Le Coultre Memovox Polaris 2 from 1970.

Is in very good / outstanding condition for its age, only the strap shows signs of wear.

In other news, you know Mrs Jingle Jangle :)

Wow.

Pretty amazing...

In less amazing news, I am sorely tempted by a Seiko diver and these seem like a good gateway watch to more expesive ones.

both would be mounted on a NATO strap

The cheapest place I know of for SKX007 etc is Creation Watches: £118 as I type.

A superb watch, that you can mod/morph into anything you want when you get bored ;-)

I have the 1st one for sale... NOS but only £80 because it has sat in a box for 2 years and needs a service.

Can I please dibs that Pole doesn't want it ?

A service for a auto, is about £100....

sure it can be had cheaper.. and it may just be a simple fix...happy to negotiate...

can someone tell me the time please

pricedrop £170 before I list it on ebay - need to fund something else...bargain, you get the Hirsch strap and the steel bracelet too.

Seems a bit expensive for something second hand as they're that price new

afaics the Seiko Chronograph SSC229P9 is still about £220 new?

edit: you're right.. express watches doing them for £185..

@user47701 It's yours if you wanna get it from @apollo but thanks for the offers both of you. will probably buy new from creation watches.

I like that
I like that a lot!
