Re: Values of Caliber 11 and Caliber 12

:
: I'm not sure quite how to answer this question.

: The Cal 11 is older and rarer (and is often
: found in older and rarer watches). Still, it
: was seriously flawed as a timekeeping
: movement, which caused it to be replaced by
: the Cal 12 (with most of the Cal 11's being
: modified to Cal 12 specs, when sent in for
: service).

: So as a collectible object, the Cal 11 is
: certainly rarer (and perhaps more valuable).
: As a timekeeper, the Cal 12 is a superior
: movement.

: Difficult to say how this translates into
: "value" for the movements
: themselves.
